This is a hands-on role involving device assembly, system bring-up, hardware testing, and development of tools used to provision and configure embedded computing platforms.
The intern will work with platforms such as Raspberry Pi and NVIDIA Jetson-based modules, supporting both hardware integration and the software workflows required to prepare devices for deployment.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Assemble and bring up embedded computing systems, including Raspberry Pi and NVIDIA Jetson-based platforms.
- Build, modify, and troubleshoot cables, wiring harnesses, adapters, and peripheral connections.
- Flash operating systems, firmware, bootloaders, and application images onto Raspberry Pi and NVIDIA modules.
- Configure and troubleshoot Linux-based embedded systems.
- Test and validate hardware interfaces and peripherals, including USB, HDMI, Ethernet, serial/UART, GPIO, storage, cameras, and other attached devices.
- Diagnose hardware/software integration issues using logs, command-line utilities, electrical measurements, and systematic testing.
- Create repeatable hardware bring-up and validation procedures.
- Support testing of new boards, modules, peripherals, and system configurations.
- Develop & improve an existing web-based device flashing and provisioning tool, with particular emphasis on automating the flashing & configuration of NVIDIA Jetson systems.
- Improve the flashing tool’s usability, reliability, error handling, logging, device detection, and progress reporting.
- Automate manual provisioning and configuration steps using scripts and APIs.
- Document hardware configurations, flashing procedures, test results, and software workflows.
DESIRED BACKGROUND:
- Pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, with a strong interest in embedded systems.
