H3X Technologies Embedded Controls Intern at H3X Technologies supporting embedded controls and firmware development for advanced electric motor products. Responsible for firmware development, debugging, and testing.

Responsibilities

H3X is looking to hire an embedded controls intern to support embedded controls & firmware development, as well as debugging across the entirety of the HPDM product line. This is not an ordinary internship. You will be given the full responsibility of an embedded controls engineer. The engineering team is intentionally small and operates at a very fast pace. A high degree of self-motivation and responsibility is required as you will be given significant freedom and have direct responsibility on relevant programs. We are focused on hiring Spring Interns, but will also have future Summer roles, and open to extended Co-Op periods.
Assist in the development and maintenance of motor control firmware in C++, from low-level drivers to control algorithms
Assist in the development and maintenance of motor simulations, configuration tools, and data processing scripts
Collaborate with other teams to add support for new products and features
Track down and resolve firmware bugs, and write firmware to help identify hardware bugs
Support the testing team with custom testing builds, data collection, and troubleshooting
Expand firmware testing and documentation, including unit tests, CI/CD pipelines, linting, and test plans
What we are looking for:
Pursuing a Bachelor’s or graduate degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
Proficiency in C++ and embedded systems
Comfort with Python for scripting and tool development
Comfort with the command line - running scripts, using git, and building projects

Joining H3X means working on hard, meaningful problems with a skunkworks-style team that's laser-focused on building exceptional products. We're deeply vertically integrated and have a very tight design-build-test loop, which lets us move from concept to hardware at unmatched speed. We've gone from idea to shipping product in less than two months.
We're a small, highly skilled team where everyone carries real responsibility and shares an extreme ownership mentality. We stay focused on the critical path, keep bureaucracy to a minimum, and structure everything around delivering results. You'll learn and grow faster here than you would anywhere else.
You'll work alongside world-class engineers and builders who are pioneering electric motor technology at scale on some of the coolest programs in the industry, from supersonic aircraft to power generation for AI datacenters. If you want your contributions to be visible and your work to directly shape American reindustrialization, you'll feel at home here.
