Job description

Embedded QA Intern

We are looking for a motivated and hands‑on Embedded Firmware Testing & Lab Intern to join our MBS‑Linux team. This is an entry‑level role aimed at students in their final years or recent graduates who want to work where hardware meets software. You will support validation, lab bring‑up, and test automation for embedded devices and prototypes: setting up boards, running repeatable tests, capturing results, and helping turn early concepts into reliable, production‑ready products. Python (or similar scripting) is a strong plus for test scripts, lab automation, and tooling. If you like debugging “almost works” setups, reading schematics, using a multimeter without fear, and making test results trustworthy not just “it blinked once” - you’ll fit in well.

What you will be doing

• Support firmware and hardware validation on dev boards and lab setups (power‑up, basic measurements, functional checks)


• Write and maintain test scripts (mainly Python) for unit‑style checks, simple integration tests, and repeatable lab workflows


• Help prepare and document lab procedures: cabling, configuration, test data, and clear pass/fail criteria


• Use Git for test code, configs, and documentation; follow team practices with guidance


• Work on Linux (CLI): run scripts, manage logs, and learn embedded Linux tooling used in the lab


• Communicate findings in English (written reports, tickets, short summaries); participate in reviews and ask questions early


• Optionally assist with CI‑related test runs or local automation mirroring pipeline steps (with mentoring)


• Learn buses and protocols (UART, I2C, SPI, basic networking) in the context of real test scenarios

Your profile

• Is studying or has recently finished studies in electronics, computer engineering, mechatronics, or a related field, with genuine interest in hardware and software together


• Has basic Python experience (scripts, small tools, or coursework/lab projects)


• Understand fundamentals of electronics: voltage/current, basic components, reading simple schematics, and safe use of lab equipment (multimeter, power supply, etc.)


• Has hands‑on experience with microcontrollers or dev boards (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, STM32/Nucleo, ESP32, or similar) - tutorials and university labs count


• Is comfortable on Linux (command line: files, permissions, running scripts) and willing to learn more about embedded Linux on the job


• Very good English, both written and spoken, as you will work in a multinational environment


• Fluent in Polish - must have Availability to work a minimum of 3 days a week in the office


• Knows Git basics: clone, commit, push/pull, branches and is open to learning good practices with guidance


• Can write and run tests (unit tests, simple integration checks, or test scripts) and cares about reproducible results


• Is curious, asks questions, and documents what they learn

Nice to have

• Basic experience with soldering


• SEP certification


• Experience with pytest, unittest, or other Python test frameworks CI/CD exposure (GitLab CI, Jenkins, GitHub Actions) even personal or university projects


• Basic C for firmware or drivers (small modules; not production‑grade embedded Linux expected)


• Familiarity with buses and protocols: UART/serial, I2C, SPI, or basic TCP/IP concepts


• Bash or shell scripting for glue and automation


• Exposure to Yocto, systemd, or kernel topics from courses or self‑study

Additional information

We want the internship to align with your chosen direction of development, interest, and passion. We will be very interested in your private or university projects - especially those where you wrote code that interacted with real hardware, or where you designed and ran automated tests - which you can present to us during the interview. To make sure your personal data is safe, we don’t look at any applications sent by email or post.
