Job summary

Exowatt in Austin, TX is seeking a Software Engineering Intern for Inventory Automation & IoT/Robotics. You will extend the inventory-management app with automated reorder, price-trend awareness, and AI-driven anomaly detection, and work on the live RFID/MQTT pipeline.

You will gain hands-on hardware exposure, learn to integrate IoT sensors, and contribute to a working demonstrator using robotics/embedded tech.

Qualifications

• Pursuing a CS / software-engineering / EE / robotics (or closely related) degree.
• Strong programming fundamentals; comfortable in Python .
• Genuine interest in hardware / IoT / robotics alongside software.
• Comfortable with Git and collaborative development.
• Hands-on IoT / embedded / microcontroller experience.
• RFID, sensors, or robotics / mechatronics exposure.
• LLM / AI-API experience.
• Scrappy hardware-hacker instinct; comfortable building physical demonstrators.

Responsibilities

• Extend the existing inventory-management app — automated reorder, price-trend awareness, and richer LLM-driven anomaly detection beyond today's rule-based alerts.
• Build on the live RFID/MQTT + receiving pipeline; add IoT sensing and wire new device data into the platform.
• Explore a drivable RFID scanner (robotics/IoT) for automated stock-taking — build toward a working demonstrator.
• During onboarding, read and improve existing internal apps (real platform improvements, not throwaway exercises).
