Bay Computer - Intern Positions
Posted: February 27, 2009
INTERN POSITIONS
Each year we select an electronics intern and a software intern.
This is a paying internship with a flexible schedule. We would also consider retaining the intern part-time during the academic year.
The electronics intern will help in development support tasks such as rework, schematic capture and layout. Although these are jobs associated with a technician, it will involve him/her in the design techniques and process of sophisticated equipment development. He/she will work closely with experienced designers.
The software intern will likely help to create a generic embedded system based on modules that Bay Computer has previously used in design products. This would be the basis for a reusable system for future products. Here again, the intern will work closely with experienced designers.
