Internship: Embedded Software Engineer

About Revel At Revel, we are revolutionizing the way the world’s most critical hardware is controlled—across aerospace, automotive, energy, and manufacturing sectors. Our next-generation software stack combines an intuitive command/control interface, a specialized programming language tailored for hardware control, and a high-performance runtime environment. We empower engineers to build, test, and deploy critical systems rapidly, reliably, and safely. The Internship As an Embedded Software Engineering Intern at Revel, you’ll work on the software that connects our high-performance runtime to the physical world. You’ll work closely with experienced software and embedded engineers to develop systems software, integrate with hardware, and build the foundations that allow Revel to reliably control complex industrial machinery. You’ll gain hands-on experience working across the boundary between software and hardware—from communication protocols and hardware interfaces to Linux systems and low-level debugging. This is a highly technical internship for students who want to understand what happens below the application layer and build software where performance, reliability, and correctness matter. You’ll contribute to real engineering projects, learn from senior engineers, and develop experience with the systems programming and hardware integration challenges behind critical software. What You'll Do Write and contribute to Rust code targeting Linux userspaceSupport the integration of industrial hardware and learn to work with register maps and hardware communication protocolsContribute to Hardware Abstraction Layers (HALs) that allow Revel software to interface with physical hardwareDevelop software that communicates with sensors, actuators, controllers, and other hardwareLearn and use hardware debugging tools such as logic analyzers and oscilloscopesWrite tests and contribute to improving the reliability and quality of low-level softwareParticipate in code reviews and collaborate with experienced software and embedded engineersDebug issues across software, operating systems, communication interfaces, and hardwareBuild an understanding of how reliability and correctness become critical requirements in real-world systems What We're Looking For Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical fieldRising Junior or Senior graduating in 2027 or 2028Strong programming fundamentals and experience with C, C++, Rust, or another systems-oriented languageFoundational understanding of operating systems, computer architecture, or LinuxInterest in understanding how software interacts with hardware at a low levelStrong analytical and debugging skillsHands-on experience through coursework, personal projects, research, or previous internshipsCurious, self-directed, and excited to learn from experienced engineersComfortable working in a fast-paced, technically challenging environmentStrong written and verbal communication skillsUS citizen, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee (ITAR requirement) Bonus Points Coursework or personal projects involving embedded systems, microcontrollers, or firmwareExperience with Rust, particularly through personal or academic projectsFamiliarity with communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, or CANExperience working with Linux internals, operating systems, or low-level networkingExperience with hardware debugging tools such as logic analyzers or oscilloscopesExperience working with sensors, actuators, development boards, or other physical hardwareInterest in real-time, safety-critical, or high-reliability systemsExperience building projects that bridge software and hardwareExperience with robotics, aerospace, automotive, industrial automation, or other hardware-focused applications Why Revel Work on software that controls real hardware — build systems that interact directly with the physical worldGo deep technically — work at the intersection of systems programming, hardware, and softwareLearn from exceptional engineers — work closely with engineers who have built critical software systemsBuild real things — contribute to production software rather than purely academic or experimental projectsTake on meaningful problems — work on technology used by customers across aerospace, automotive, energy, and advanced manufacturingGrow quickly — work in a small, ambitious team where your contributions are visible and your learning curve is steep Internship Details Program: Summer 2027 InternshipDuration: June - August 2027Type: Summer, paid internshipLocation: Los Angeles or San FranciscoWork environment: On-siteTravel: Occasional travel to customer sites may be required Join us to redefine what’s possible in software for hardware.
