In this role, you’ll help build and validate next-generation oscilloscope capabilities—from Qt-based UI experiences to high-performance embedded processing. You’ll collaborate with experienced hardware and software engineers in an environment that emphasizes hands-on learning, mentorship, and technical growth.
You will be paired with a dedicated engineering mentor and contribute to real product development work, including prototyping, performance evaluation, test automation, and instrument validation.
What You’ll Do
- Support software development and validation for next-generation oscilloscope and test & measurement platforms
- Investigate technical risk areas, run performance experiments, and share results that inform architecture decisions
- Prototype and implement algorithms or platform enhancements; validate solutions on real instruments
- Develop test plans, automate workflows, and strengthen CI dashboards/regression health
- Collaborate across disciplines to bridge firmware, UI, and system performance
- Contribute to a scoped co-op project and present results at the end of the term to engineering stakeholders
Learning & Development
- During the term, you will gain experience in:
- Product software lifecycle (requirements → design → implementation → verification → release)
- Embedded and instrument-focused debugging and performance profiling
- Test strategy development, automation practices, and CI/CD workflows
- Effective technical communication (documentation, presentations, design reviews)
- Working within a cross-functional engineering environment
Required Qualifications
- Enrolled in a Bachelor’s degree program in Computer Engineering (preferred), Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science and eligible/accepted for the MECOP program (2026)
- Strong C/C++ fundamentals (OOP, memory management, multithreading concepts)
- Comfort working hands-on with real instruments/hardware and following safe lab practices
- Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
- Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly (written and verbal)
Preferred Qualifications
- Exposure to Qt/QML
- Embedded/firmware development exposure on Linux and/or Windows
- Experience with scripting or test automation (Python, JavaScript)
- Familiarity with Agile/Scrum and tools such as Jira, Git (Bitbucket/GitHub), Jenkins
- Interest in oscilloscopes and test & measurement technologies
Additional Information
- Candidates must be able to work full-time for the full 6-month MECOP term (2026).
