2027 US Firmware Engineering Internship
About The Position
Contribute to AIoT Device-level Firmware Infrastructure as part of the Platform Firmware development team and advance Axon’s mission to Protect Life. Platform Firmware supports all of Axon’s Camera-based products, key ownership of the Cellular LTE Link, Automated Test Systems for organizational Engineering Excellence, and is always at the fore-front of Innovation with Hardware Engineering for new programs. Firmware development environments primarily include Embedded Linux (C, C++, Golang, Yocto) and RTOS on Microcontrollers (C/C++). Rust is being explored. Solve very challenging Firmware problems while applying Data Structure and Object Oriented thinking to build infrastructure APIs used by Axon’s Embedded Product teams. This role will enable you to elevate your skills to the next level. As an intern, you will have regular 1:1s with your mentor, an experienced engineer on your team. You will get career advice through regular meetings with your manager, who is accountable for developing the careers of their reports. As part of your internship, you’ll get visibility by presenting your ideas, vision, and accomplishments to executive leadership.
