Hardware Engineer Intern - IoT & PCB Design

Role Overview

We're hiring Hardware Engineer Interns from the 2025/2026/2027 graduating batch to support IoT device and PCB design - from schematic capture and layout to prototyping, bring-up, and testing. You'll work alongside senior hardware engineers on real embedded/IoT products, gaining hands-on exposure to the full hardware development lifecycle.

Eligibility

• Pursuing a Bachelor's/Master's degree in Electronics, Electrical, Instrumentation, or related field, graduating in 2025, 2026 or 2027
• Available for a 6-month internship, with the start date confirmed during the interview process
• Open to both PPO-track interns (pre-placement offer potential) and short-term interns, depending on your program structure

Responsibilities

• Assist in schematic design and PCB layout (multi-layer boards) using tools like Altium, KiCad, or Eagle
• Support component selection, BOM creation, and datasheet review
• Help with PCB bring-up, debugging, and testing (multimeter, oscilloscope, logic analyzer)
• Assist in interfacing sensors, microcontrollers, and communication modules
• Support firmware-hardware integration testing for IoT devices
• Help prepare test reports, documentation, and design files
• Collaborate with firmware and mechanical teams on enclosure/fit checks and DFM (Design for Manufacturing)

Required Skills

• Basic understanding of analog/digital circuit design and PCB layout fundamentals
• Familiarity with PCB design tools (Altium Designer, KiCad, Eagle, or similar)
• Understanding of embedded communication protocols: I2C, SPI, UART, CAN
• Exposure to microcontrollers (STM32, ESP32, Arduino, etc.)
• Basic use of lab equipment: multimeter, oscilloscope, power supply
• Strong problem-solving mindset and willingness to learn hands-on hardware debugging

Nice to Have

• Experience with IoT connectivity modules (Wi-Fi, BLE, cellular/LTE, LoRaWAN)
• Exposure to power electronics, battery management, or low-power design
• Familiarity with signal integrity, EMI/EMC basics
• Personal projects involving PCB design, sensor integration, or IoT prototypes
• Basic scripting (Python) for test automation or data logging

What You'll Gain

• End-to-end hardware development exposure - schematic to prototype to test
• Hands-on experience with real IoT products and lab equipment
• Mentorship from senior hardware and firmware engineers
