Revel develops software systems for controlling critical hardware across aerospace, automotive, energy, and manufacturing. The Embedded Software Engineering Intern will develop Linux systems software, integrate hardware, contribute to hardware abstraction layers, and debug low-level software and hardware systems while collaborating with experienced engineers.
Responsibilities
Write and contribute to Rust code targeting Linux userspace Support the integration of industrial hardware and learn to work with register maps and hardware communication protocols Contribute to Hardware Abstraction Layers (HALs) that allow Revel software to interface with physical hardware Develop software that communicates with sensors, actuators, controllers, and other hardware Learn and use hardware debugging tools such as logic analyzers and oscilloscopes Write tests and contribute to improving the reliability and quality of low-level software Participate in code reviews and collaborate with experienced software and embedded engineers Debug issues across software, operating systems, communication interfaces, and hardware Build an understanding of how reliability and correctness become critical requirements in real-world systems
Qualifications: Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field Rising Junior or Senior graduating in 2027 or 2028 Strong programming fundamentals and experience with C, C++, Rust, or another systems-oriented language Foundational understanding of operating systems, computer architecture, or Linux Interest in understanding how software interacts with hardware at a low level Strong analytical and debugging skills Hands-on experience through coursework, personal projects, research, or previous internships Curious, self-directed, and excited to learn from experienced engineers Comfortable working in a fast-paced, technically challenging environment Strong written and verbal communication skills US citizen, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee (ITAR requirement) Or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S.
Department of State Coursework or personal projects involving embedded systems, microcontrollers, or firmware Experience with Rust, particularly through personal or academic projects Familiarity with communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, or CAN Experience working with Linux internals, operating systems, or low-level networking Experience with hardware debugging tools such as logic analyzers or oscilloscopes Experience working with sensors, actuators, development boards, or other physical hardware Interest in real-time, safety-critical, or high-reliability systems Experience building projects that bridge software and hardware Experience with robotics, aerospace, automotive, industrial automation, or other hardware-focused applications
Benefits: Paid summer internship Work closely with experienced software and embedded engineers Learn from exceptional engineers who have built critical software systems Contribute to production software rather than purely academic or experimental projects Grow quickly in a small, ambitious team where contributions are visible and the learning curve is steep On-site work environment in Los Angeles or San Francisco
