Embedded Controls Intern (Spring)
About The Position
H3X is looking to hire an embedded controls intern to support embedded controls & firmware development, as well as debugging across the entirety of the HPDM product line. This is not an ordinary internship. You will be given the full responsibility of an embedded controls engineer. The engineering team is intentionally small and operates at a very fast pace. A high degree of self-motivation and responsibility is required as you will be given significant freedom and have direct responsibility on relevant programs. We are focused on hiring Spring Interns, but will also have future Summer roles, and open to extended Co-Op periods.
