- Engineering Support: Support other ongoing development efforts.
- Agile & DevOps Workflow: Participate in daily standups, sprint planning, pull requests and standard DevOps workflows across both Windows and Linux environments.
- Intern Project: Take end-to-end ownership of a dedicated project—applying software design, testing, and technology integration principles from initial concept to final presentation.
Qualifications
- Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
- Programming proficiency in at least one of the following languages: Python, C/C++, and C#.
- Exposure to hardware drivers and low-level hardware-to-software communication interfaces (e.g., serial protocols, bus interfaces).
- Experience with desktop GUI frameworks (e.g., PyQt6 for Python, Qt for C++, or WPF/.NET for C#).
- Basic understanding of fundamental encryption concepts and data security principles.
- Strong desire and willingness to learn the detailed operational mechanics of GPS/GNSS technologies and positional data systems.
- Practical understanding of the Agile software development lifecycle and core DevOps principles.
