Internship: Software Engineer, Test

About RevelAt Revel, we are revolutionizing the way the world’s most critical hardware is controlled—across aerospace, automotive, energy, and manufacturing sectors. Our next-generation software stack combines an intuitive command/control interface, a specialized programming language tailored for hardware control, and a high-performance runtime environment. We empower engineers to build, test, and deploy critical systems rapidly, reliably, and safely.The InternshipAs a Software Engineering – Test Intern at Revel, you’ll help build the infrastructure that allows us to continuously test software against real and simulated hardware.You’ll work at the intersection of software engineering, hardware, and infrastructure, helping build and maintain Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test systems and the automation that powers them. You’ll write Python, work with CI/CD systems, interact with test equipment and hardware, and help make our testing faster, more reliable, and more scalable.This is a hands-on internship for students who enjoy figuring out how systems work, automating repetitive processes, and solving problems that span software and hardware. You’ll work closely with experienced engineers and gain exposure to the infrastructure behind software used to control mission-critical hardware.What You'll DoBuild and maintain Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing systemsWrite Python scripts and automation to improve software testing and development workflowsHelp integrate test equipment, instrumentation, and hardware into automated test environmentsContribute to continuous integration (CI) and testing infrastructureHelp diagnose and troubleshoot failures across software, hardware, and test infrastructureImprove the reliability, speed, and scalability of automated testingDevelop tools and processes that make it easier for engineers to test software against real-world hardwareContribute to documentation and best practices around testing and automationCollaborate with software, embedded, and hardware engineers to improve test coverage and reliabilityLearn how software, infrastructure, and physical hardware come together in a production engineering environmentWhat We're Looking ForCurrently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical fieldRising Junior or Senior graduating in 2027 or 2028Experience with Python or another programming language through coursework, personal projects, research, or previous internshipsStrong problem-solving and debugging skillsInterest in software testing, automation, infrastructure, or hardware-software integrationBasic understanding of software development workflows and version controlCurious about how software interacts with real hardware and physical systemsComfortable learning new tools, technologies, and systemsStrong written and verbal communication skillsCurious, self-directed, and excited to learn from experienced engineersComfortable working in a fast-paced, technically challenging environmentUS citizen, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee (ITAR requirement)Bonus PointsExperience with Linux or command-line toolsFamiliarity with CI/CD systems or automated testing frameworksExperience with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or similar toolsExperience with data acquisition systems, instrumentation, or test equipmentExperience with microcontrollers, embedded systems, robotics, or hardware projectsExposure to Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), Software-in-the-Loop (SIL), or simulation environmentsExperience with Docker, virtual machines, or server infrastructureFamiliarity with networking and debugging communication between systemsExperience with Rust, C, or C++Interest in aerospace, automotive, robotics, autonomous systems, or industrial automationWhy RevelTest software against real hardware — work on the infrastructure that connects software to the physical worldBuild automation that matters — create tools that engineers rely on every dayWork across software and hardware — gain experience spanning applications, infrastructure, embedded systems, and physical test environmentsLearn from exceptional engineers — work closely with experienced software, embedded, and test engineersSolve challenging problems — debug failures that can span multiple layers of a complex systemGrow quickly — work in a small, ambitious team where your contributions are visible and your learning curve is steepInternship DetailsProgram: Summer 2027 InternshipDuration: June - August 2027Type: Summer, paid internshipLocation: Los Angeles or San FranciscoWork environment: On-siteTravel: Occasional travel to customer sites may be requiredJoin us to redefine what’s possible in software for hardware.ITAR RequirementsTo conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
