Embedded Engineer Intern

We’re hiring an Embedded Engineer Intern (Paid + PPO Track)

At TAMIZH , as an Embedded Engineering Intern , you will work closely with the hardware and cross-functional teams to design, prototype, and validate hardware components for smart glasses. You will gain hands-on experience in innovative waveguide display integration, embedded system design, and hardware-software co-design.

This isn't an internship where you'll be micromanaged; it's a playground for learning and growth! We thrive in an agile environment where every team member is involved in decision-making. We're searching for a self-starter who loves taking initiative and can't wait to apply new concepts in the exciting world of Extended Reality.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist in the design and development of hardware for XR smart glasses.
• Prototype and test hardware components such as optics, sensors, power management, and embedded electronics.
• Collaborate with software engineers to ensure hardware-software integration.
• Support debugging and validation of hardware units.
• Document design processes, test results, and support iterative improvements.
• Research emerging hardware technologies related to XR and augmented reality.

Required Skills

• Basic knowledge in electronics, embedded systems, and optics.
• Understanding of hardware prototyping tools (e.g., PCB design software, oscilloscopes, multimeters).
• Interest in XR, augmented/virtual reality, or wearable tech.
• Problem-solving attitude and a passion for hardware innovation.
• Good communication and teamwork skills.

Educational Background

• Enrollment or degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
• Experience or coursework in waveguide optics or display technology is a plus.
• Familiarity with embedded programming (C/C++) and hardware interfacing.
• Exposure to sensor integration and power management design.
• Final-year students or recent graduates are encouraged to apply.
• Strong project/portfolio work can substitute for a formal degree.

Why you'll love working here!

• Work at the forefront of the rapidly growing XR market in India
• Contribute to building an AR smart glasses product that will redefine human–technology interaction
• Gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge tools and technologies in spatial computing
• Make a meaningful impact by contributing to real product features, not demo projects
• Ideal for candidates who are passionate about XR and eager to learn and innovate
• You are welcome to apply even if you don’t meet every requirement, as long as you can learn quickly and want to help shape the next generation of devices

Compensation

We believe in being transparent and fair about how compensation grows with responsibility.

• Internship/Probation (first 3-6 months): You’ll join as a full‑time intern with a fixed stipend, reflecting that this phase is focused on learning, mentoring, and evaluating mutual fit. You still work on real product features, get access to the same tools and reviews as the core team, and receive clear feedback on what’s needed to convert to full‑time.​ Internship duration varies based on performance.
• Full‑Time Conversion (after Internship): On successful completion of the internship, you’ll receive a full‑time Embedded Engineer offer with a competitive package aligned to industry standards for the role in Chennai startup ecosystem, based on performance. The exact package will be finalized 1-2 weeks before the internship ends.​

Location: AIC - Anna Incubator, Anna University Campus, Guindy, Chennai
