Rotation Descriptions & Learning Outcomes
1. Embedded Software Development
Gain hands-on experience in developing low-level software for embedded systems. This rotation focuses on creating embedded software for our products, with an emphasis on optimizing code to work efficiently within resource-constrained environments. You'll also gain familiarity with real-time operating systems (RTOS) and enhance your debugging skills by working directly with real-world hardware.
What you’ll learn:
- Gain a comprehensive understanding of how embedded systems work
- Develop efficient C/C++ code optimized for devices with limited memory and processing power
- Acquire hands-on experience in testing and debugging code on embedded hardware platforms
- Getting familiar with hardware systems and basic communication protocols (like SPI, I2C, UART)
2. Data Science
You’ll work with real-world data to find patterns, build models, and tell stories through insights. Whether it's analyzing trends or building ML tools, this rotation blends coding with creativity.
What you’ll learn:
- Collaborate on end-to-end data projects from ideation to deployment
- Understand sensor functioning, data pipelines, cleaning, and feature engineering
- Apply signal processing, statistical methods, and machine learning techniques
- Gain proficiency in Python and data visualization tools
3. Cloud Engineering
This is where you dive deep into the backend, cloud infrastructure, and everything that keeps our services and web applications running seamlessly. You'll be hands-on with building real systems—ensuring that they're not only scalable and secure, but also lightning-fast and rock-solid reliable.
What you’ll learn:
- Understand how to maintain, manage, and develop our AWS-based cloud infrastructure as code using Terraform and Terragrunt
- Build and deploy services and microservices in TypeScript, Go, and Python, as well as web portals and applications in React/TypeScript
- Implement continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines using GitHub pipelines and Gruntwork
- Orchestrate workflows and manage our cloud data pipeline built on Argo Workflows in Kubernetes
- Learn best practices in system monitoring, security, and performance tuning
4. Mobile Development
Join the team behind the apps people use every day. You’ll help build sleek, user-friendly mobile applications from the ground up, and learn what it takes to get them into users’ hands.
What you’ll learn:
- Develop apps using native iOS/Android development tools
- Follow design systems and implement responsive, accessible UIs
- Integrate with backend APIs and handle real-time data
- Use Bluetooth frameworks to interface with our devices
- Learn testing, debugging, and releasing apps to app stores
