Mesh Optical Technologies is seeking an Associate Software Engineer for an internship or co-op position. You will be embedded directly within the engineering team, contributing to the codebase that operates both our optical interconnect products and factory processes. This is a paid, full-time role focused on real engineering contributions rather than side projects.
What you'll do#
- Implement and test bare-metal drivers for I²C, SPI, ADC, DMA, and other interfaces.
- Assist in node bring-up from power-on to firmware load, including capturing boot logs and debugging hardware-software interactions in the lab.
- Design and implement algorithms for link optimization and per-unit calibration using C++ and Python.
- Develop software-enabled methods to automatically validate device operation and production processes.
What you'll need#
- Pursuing or recently completed a BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field with a GPA of 3.5 or greater.
- A portfolio of hands-on projects featuring a hardware element, such as embedded firmware, robotics, signal processing, or similar builds.
- Proficiency in Python and C or C++ with comfort working in a Linux environment.
- Exposure to I²C, SPI, ADC sampling, or similar protocols.
- Strong analytical mindset, first-principles problem solving, and clear communication skills.
- Demonstrated multidisciplinary knowledge of electrical and mechanical engineering concepts.
Location & details#
- Location: Gardena, California.
- Modality: On-site.
- Term: Rolling.
- Compensation: $26.00 - $38.00 per hour, determined by academic year, plus a flexible monthly housing and transportation stipend.
