We operate in a demanding environment where rigor, ownership, and execution are expected. ABOUT THE ROLE The Radio team needs additional capacity to support an ongoing project roadmap around the radio. We have more well-scoped embedded work — firmware, drivers, validation tooling, documentation — than current bandwidth allows. As an Embedded Software Engineer Intern, you will join the team to contribute to the embedded software stack that runs on and around this radio — from low-level firmware and drivers up to the tooling and infrastructure used to validate it. The scope is intentionally broad: you will get exposure to the full embedded software lifecycle in the context of a custom hardware project. The duration of this internship is 5–6 months.     RESPONSIBILITIES * Firmware development: Actively contribute to the development of the firmware for the radio and its surrounding embedded platform, utilizing C within an Eclipse ThreadX real-time environment. * Low-Level Integration: Implement, and debug low-level drivers and communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART) to manage interfaces between the chip and host systems. * Test Automation: Build and improve validation tooling for the radio software stack, including the development of scripted test sequences and CI integration using Python and Rust. * Hardware Characterization: Contribute to the bring-up and debugging on physical hardware, collaborating closely with hardware and radio-frequency engineers. * Technical Documentation: Write and maintain rigorous design notes, driver/API references, validation reports, and onboarding materials to support the team’s knowledge base. * Agile Collaboration: Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and core team rituals—including planning and retrospectives—as a full member of the Radio team.     CANDIDATE REQUIREMENTS * Educational Background: Currently in final or penultimate year of a Master’s degree in Computer Science, Embedded Software, Robotics, Software Engineering, or a related field * Project Execution & Ownership: An adaptive learner with the ability to navigate tasks, offering creative solutions and collaborating effectively within a team to drive high-quality project results. * Adaptability & Mobility: Thrives under pressure in a fast-paced, dynamic environment; embraces a “no-task-is-too-small” mentality. * Communication & Influence: Excellent written and verbal communication, capable of leading diverse principals * Commitment: 100% dedication to Harmattan AI’s mission, vision, and ambitious growth plans, ready to go the extra mile to ensure operational excellence. * Domain Interest: A genuine passion for or curiosity about radio systems and wireless technologies is considered an added bonus for this role but not a hard requirement. We look forward to hearing how you can help shape the future of autonomous defense systems at Harmattan AI.
