Sensor Characterization Co-Op

About the Role

We are seeking a motivated Software Engineering Intern to join our team and contribute to developing cutting-edge IoT devices. The role will work cross-functionally and integrate projects into the greater product scheme picture.

What You Will Do

• Collaborate with our sensor R&D team to design testing procedures, carry out tests, and analyze data to characterize new sensor performance.
• Support customer-driven use-case exploration, running material fingerprinting and concentration tests, analyzing data and building customer-facing slides.
• Prepare samples at known concentrations, serial dilutions and emulsifications following lab-safety protocols.
• Use statistical methods to calculate LODs for industrially relevant chemicals.
• Focus on experiment reproducibility by maintaining a lab notebook, writing and refining Standard Operating Procedures, and organizing raw data for future comparison.
• Design, test and refine calibration procedures for the new sensing stack.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Degree or pursuing a degree in Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, or a related field.
• Detail-oriented and able to follow (and constructively critique) experimental procedure.
• Willingness to get your hands dirty on a wide variety of engineering and technician tasks.
• Coursework or experience in chemistry, physics, optical engineering, or a related field.
• Comfort with hands-on lab work and running structured experiments.
• Statistics and data analysis skills (Python, MATLAB, or similar).

Preferred

• Familiarity with spectroscopy and electrical impedance measurement is a plus but not required.

Benefits

• Dynamic and inclusive work environment.
• Opportunities for growth and professional development.
• Access to Greentown Labs extensive network of cleantech startups.
