Software Engineering Intern

Job Description

The Software Engineering Intern is responsible for the support of the ATI Controls Software Engineering team in the software design of embedded microprocessor-based controls for Water heating products and HVAC. Typical duties will include controls software algorithm design and development, building the code, testing for the new product, testing in existing product for maintenance, and proof-of-concept design work in support of controls development activities using the manual or model-based development environment. This is an important position on the electronic controls team within Rheem’s Advanced Technology Integration organization, providing advanced technologies and systems solutions for Rheem’s Water Heating, Air Conditioning, HTPG, Eemax, Friedrich, and Raypak business units.

This position will serve our Enterprise Division, located in Roswell, GA or Indianapolis, IN (Onsite). This internship is an immediate start working 20-40 hours a week.

Responsibilities

• Assist control engineers in the design of control algorithm in a model-based environment, creating a simulation environment to test the developed control algorithm and validating the models using a simulation environment
• Develop control designs for the new product based on the systems requirements validate the system using the actual or simulation environment and provide the test report.
• Work with cross-functional teams through direct interactions and team meetings in developing and translating new concepts into applications.
• Develop design concepts or models, oversee prototype construction, and conduct performance testing to determine the practical feasibility of concepts.
• Participate in formal design reviews of electronic control requirements, algorithms, FMEA and other related analyses.
• Prepare and support the release of control software requirements and design documentation.
• Continue to develop professionally in both formal training/coursework and self-study.
