We are looking for a proactive, detail-oriented Embedded AI Intern to join our team and help build edge AI demonstrations on Renesas MCUs. In this role, you’ll support the end-to-end workflow—from data collection and organization to signal processing, model development, and on-device deployment/testing. This is a hands-on opportunity to learn and contribute to real-world projects that combine embedded systems, data processing, and AI.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and refine edge AI demos using Renesas MCUs and associated development tools
• Collect, label, clean, and organize sensor/dataset inputs for model training and evaluation
• Apply signal processing techniques (e.g., filtering, feature extraction, FFT) to improve model performance
• Prototype and evaluate machine learning algorithms/models for embedded use cases
• Deploy and validate models on Renesas MCUs (e.g., memory/latency optimization, accuracy testing)
• Document workflows, results, and demos; collaborate with the team to iterate quickly

• Must be enrolled full time as a rising junior or senior BS student or MS student in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.. (Must not have graduated before September 2026)
• Basic programming skills in C/C++, Python (NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib/Plotly, Scikit-learn) and MATLAB, with experience writing clean, modular, and efficient code.
• Basic experience with common embedded toolchains, IDEs, and Git version control.
• Basic understanding of time-series signal processing (e.g., sampling, FFT, STFT, spectrogram).
• Basic knowledge with machine learning algorithms (SVM, logistic regression, neural networks, convolutional networks).
• Familiarity with embedded concepts (e.g., MCUs, peripherals, debugging)
• Interest in TinyML/edge AI, and willingness to learn new tools and workflows
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work in a collaborative environment.
• Valid driving license for data collection.

Nice to have

• Experience with signal processing, sensor data, or time-series signal processing
• Experience with AI modeling, machine learning algorithms
• Exposure to ML frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow/TFLite, PyTorch) and model deployment concepts

What You'll Gain

• Hands-on experience with real-world projects, processing and workflow optimization.
• Exposure to end-to-end AI project workflows in a real-world setting.
• Opportunities to enhance technical expertise, problem-solving abilities, and collaborative skills.

The expected hourly pay range for this position is $29.75/hr - $33.75/hr. This position is also eligible for bonus opportunities. Please note that the final offer amount, including any applicable bonuses, will be dependent on geographic location, relevant experience, and skillset of the candidate. 

Interns may be eligible for certain Company-provided benefits, which can include sick leave, holiday pay, and medical, dental, and vision insurance. Eligibility and specific benefits will be provided in accordance with Company policy and applicable law.
