Software Engineering Intern, Connectivity (Summer 2027)

HP IQ is HP’s AI innovation lab developing intelligent technologies across HP’s portfolio. The Connectivity Software team seeks an intern to develop on-device firmware and system software, support wireless connectivity, solve system-level problems, and collaborate on next-generation connected device experiences.

What you'll do:

• Develop on-device firmware and system software in C, C++, or Python for connected device experiences
• Build and enhance software supporting wireless connectivity across a variety of devices and platforms
• Explore sensing, machine learning, and AI techniques to solve complex technical challenges
• Debug and resolve issues across system software, wireless connectivity, and application-level code
• Collaborate with hardware and software engineers to understand requirements and translate them into technical solutions
• Participate in code reviews and technical design discussions, learning from and contributing to the broader engineering team
• Contribute to the testing, validation, and documentation of software and firmware features
• Write efficient on-device firmware and system software in C, C++, or Python to implement wireless connectivity protocols (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) across multiple device types
• Design and implement device-to-device discovery and pairing protocols that enable seamless communication in enterprise and consumer environments
• Optimize machine learning inference on resource-constrained devices, balancing model accuracy against power consumption and latency constraints
• Develop sensing algorithms that leverage data and AI techniques to enable new ambient and wearable interactions
• Debug and resolve complex issues spanning the wireless stack, operating system integration, and application-level code
