What to Expect Terranova seeks an embedded systems engineering intern to join our core engineering team. The ideal candidate has a passion for their craft and can go deep on design and analysis while maintaining a systems‑level view across electrical, embedded, and controls disciplines. This person thrives in a startup environment – owning problems end‑to‑end, moving fast, and building machines that survive the real world.
You’ll lead projects from concept through field deployment: designing, analyzing, fabricating, and testing large‑scale robotic systems that operate in the most demanding environments on Earth. Expect to be hands‑on, spend long hours in the factory and in the field working alongside technicians and operators.
Key Responsibilities
Own aspects of electrical design, firmware, controls integration, and PCB design
Develop and debug embedded firmware in C/C++ for STM32/ESP32/RP2040 or similar
Design and review mixed‑signal PCBs using KiCad/Altium
Integrate sensors, radios, and power electronics with reliable, low‑latency interfaces (I²C, SPI, UART, CAN)
Characterize and optimize power budgets, EMI performance, and manufacturability
Bring‑up, test, and validate hardware prototypes through DFM/DFT cycles
Support system integration and field debugging of deployed robotic platforms
Understand high power systems (150+ kW) and ensure safe design
Collaborate closely with electrical, controls, and field teams to deliver integrated, field‑ready systems
Drive failure analysis, testing, and iterative improvement based on real‑world data
Preferred Skills and Experience
Hands‑on prototyping skills – you enjoy working in the shop, have built hobby projects, are a maker
LiDAR and Sensors
Experience in electromechanical controls – VFDs
Experience in high voltage AC power conversion systems and lithium batteries
STM32/ESP32/RP2040
C/C++ with FreeRTOS/Zephyr
KiCad/Altium PCB Design
Mixed‑signal and power design
PCB and embedded systems design skills (Altium or equivalent)
Comfortable with the pace and intensity of early‑stage startup life, including long days, 6‑day workweeks, and extended field hours
Working towards a bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related field
U.S. permanent residency required
Nice to Have Skills
CAD proficiency (OnShape, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or NX)
Familiarity with C++, Python, or similar for controls or simulation
Proven project management capabilities with multiple concurrent workstreams
Experience with compliance, HAZOP, and FMEA tools for machine safety
Compensation and Timeline
$25-35/hr + relocation + company perks
Fall Internship from August-December depending on your school schedule
