Internship: Forward Deployed Engineer, Software

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 a Forward Deployed Engineering Intern at Revel, you’ll work at the intersection of software and hardware, helping bring Revel’s technology into the real-world systems our customers build. You’ll work closely with our Forward Deployed Engineering and Software teams to write code, build tools and dashboards, troubleshoot hardware integrations, and help deploy Revel alongside customer engineering teams. You’ll get hands-on exposure to aerospace, automotive, energy, and advanced manufacturing environments and see how software is used to control and operate complex physical systems. This is a highly technical, hands-on internship. You’ll have the opportunity to take meaningful ownership of projects, work directly with experienced engineers, and see your work used in real-world hardware environments. What You'll Do Write production-quality code in C, C++, Python, or RustBuild custom tools and dashboards to help engineers interact with and monitor hardwareSupport the integration of Revel with test stands, sensors, actuators, and existing customer infrastructureWork alongside customer and internal engineering teams to troubleshoot and solve technical problemsHelp develop and test software that interfaces directly with physical hardwareLearn how software, firmware, and hardware systems work together end-to-endTranslate learnings from customer deployments into product feedback for our software and product teamsCollaborate with experienced Forward Deployed and Software Engineers on real customer projectsOccasionally travel to customer sites with the team What We're Looking For Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical fieldRising Junior or Senior graduating in 2027 or 2028Strong programming fundamentals and experience with at least one of C, C++, or PythonInterest in systems engineering and understanding how software interacts with hardwareExcited to work hands-on with real hardware and solve problems in the fieldStrong problem-solving and debugging skillsComfortable working in a fast-paced, ambiguous environmentStrong written and verbal communication skillsCurious, self-directed, and excited to learn from experienced engineersUS citizen, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee (ITAR requirement) Bonus Points Experience with embedded systems, robotics, aerospace, automotive, or other hardware-focused projectsExperience with DAQ systems, PLCs, control systems, or industrial automationFamiliarity with NI software, TwinCAT, or CodeSysExperience working with sensors, actuators, test equipment, or other physical hardwarePersonal, academic, or previous internship projects involving software + hardwareExperience at a startup or other fast-moving engineering environmentPassion for aerospace, advanced manufacturing, robotics, or other technically challenging industries Why Revel Work on hardware that matters — our customers are building aerospace systems, advanced manufacturing lines, and critical infrastructureBuild real things — your work will go beyond a classroom or demo environment and be used with real hardwareLearn from exceptional engineers — work closely with experienced software and Forward Deployed EngineersGet customer exposure — see firsthand how engineering teams use Revel to solve real-world problemsOwn meaningful projects — take responsibility for projects that have a direct impact on our customers and productGrow quickly — work in a small, ambitious team where your contributions are visible 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.
