Embedded Hardware Engineer internship (In Jaipur)

About the Internship

This is a 3-month, on-site, full-time internship in Jaipur, Rajasthan, within the Hardware Engineering & Production department at Stepwhere (Seven96 Step Solution Pvt Ltd). The role focuses on gaining hands-on experience in building real-world electronic products, specifically smart school shoes with GPS tracking, cellular connectivity, motion sensors, and embedded electronics.

Key Responsibilities

• Hardware Preparation & Assembly

• Prepare PCB assemblies (PCBAs), electronic components, batteries, antennas, and connectors for production.

• Assist in assembling embedded electronic modules into compact product enclosures.

• Understand component placement, wiring, soldering, and hardware integration.

• Learn practical techniques for integrating electronics into space-constrained wearable products.

• Hardware Testing & Quality Assurance

• Perform device-level testing using an existing backend-based QA system.

• Test connectivity, GPS/GNSS, charging, battery performance, and sensor functionality.

• Identify faulty components, connection issues, and assembly-related defects.

• Maintain device testing records, hardware IDs, and quality checklists.

• Production Engineering & Troubleshooting

• Work with engineers to identify and resolve production-stage hardware problems.

• Understand manufacturing challenges such as component failures, assembly inconsistencies, waterproofing, and physical durability.

• Support troubleshooting, rework, and retesting of faulty units.

• Help improve production reliability and consistency.

• Production Documentation & Process Improvement

• Maintain hardware assembly and testing documentation.

• Assist with component inventory tracking and production records.

• Learn how Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are developed for hardware manufacturing.

• Identify opportunities to reduce assembly errors and improve production efficiency.

Skills We're Looking For

• Basic understanding of electronics, circuits, and PCB components.
• Familiarity with microcontrollers such as STM32, Arduino, or ESP32.
• Basic knowledge of embedded systems and hardware interfaces.
• Ability to understand circuit diagrams and hardware connections.
• Interest in hands-on electronics assembly, debugging, and manufacturing.
• Willingness to learn, experiment, and solve practical engineering problems.

Good to Have (Not Mandatory)

• Basic Embedded C programming.
• Familiarity with UART, SPI, or I2C communication.
• Experience using a multimeter, soldering station, or other electronics testing equipment.
• Knowledge of GPS, GSM, IoT, or battery-powered devices.
• Experience with personal electronics projects or hardware prototypes.

What You'll Learn

• How embedded electronics are prepared for production.
• How PCBAs are integrated into finished consumer products.
• How production testing and hardware quality control work.
• How engineers diagnose and resolve real manufacturing defects.
• How hardware design decisions affect assembly, cost, reliability, and scalability.
• How a hardware startup manages the transition from prototypes to commercial production.

Who Can Apply?

• Students pursuing or recently completing B.Tech, B.E., or Diploma in Electronics, ECE, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, or related disciplines.
• Freshers interested in embedded hardware and electronics manufacturing.
• Candidates who enjoy working with actual hardware rather than only simulation or theoretical concepts.
• Candidates available to work on-site in Jaipur for three months.
