Summer 2027 Internship - Embedded Software Engineering

General Matter enriches uranium and develops low-cost enrichment services in the United States. The Embedded Software Engineering Intern will help develop safety-critical embedded software, firmware, control architectures, and data acquisition systems that operate enrichment equipment, while collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams on integration, debugging, testing, and commissioning.

What you'll do:

• Assist in the development of safety-critical embedded software that powers General Matter's industrial systems with reliability and precision
• Help build low-level firmware in C/C++, Rust, and/or PLCs to control electromechanical actuators, process high-speed sensor data, and execute fault-tolerant control logic
• Support the design of control architectures, state machines, and data acquisition systems for mission-critical hardware
• Contribute to automated build, test, and validation infrastructure for embedded software
• Partner closely with hardware, electrical, and controls engineers to bring up new systems, integrate firmware with hardware, and troubleshoot electromechanical challenges
• Assist with debugging real-world embedded systems using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and other laboratory instrumentation
• Support integrated system testing and commissioning of embedded software running on production equipment

What they're looking for:

• Current undergraduate or graduate student pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a similar discipline
• Development experience in C, C++, Golang, Python, or Rust
• General understanding of embedded or low-level systems development
• Collaborative team member who thrives in fast-paced, multidisciplinary environments and is eager to learn
• Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals
• Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary
• Exposure to data acquisition system setup, maintenance, or development
• Familiarity with electrical hardware troubleshooting or PCBA bring-up
• Coursework or project experience in digital signal processing
• Exposure to low-level communication protocol debugging
• Coursework or project experience with PLC/SCADA systems
• Experience in a fast-paced engineering environment or project setting requiring a resourceful, entrepreneurial approach to complete tasks within tight timeframes

Benefits:

• Interns will receive a monthly housing stipend.
• Interns are eligible for overtime pay.
