As an intern at AnySignal, you will design, implement, and test embedded software, contributing to board bring-up, debugging, and documentation efforts.
AnySignal is a startup whose mission is to usher in the next generation of RF products and services. For the most demanding space and defense missions, AnySignal provides a flexible platform with world-class performance that is easy to deploy, monitor, purchase, and upgrade.
Our team has a diverse range of backgrounds that cover cloud computing to artificial intelligence, communications and sensing, embedded systems, and much more.
About the Team
Our Embedded Software Engineering team develops the firmware and low-level software that powers our hardware systems. We work at the intersection of hardware and software—bringing up new boards, optimizing performance, and ensuring reliability in real-world environments. As an intern, you’ll collaborate with experienced engineers to write, test, and debug embedded code for systems that operate in demanding conditions.
What You'll Do
- Design, implement, and test embedded software and firmware for microcontrollers or real-time operating systems (RTOS).
- Contribute to board bring-up, hardware/software integration, and system validation efforts.
- Work with hardware engineers to debug interfaces such as SPI, I²C, UART, or CAN.
- Develop and run unit tests, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulations, and automated regression tests.
- Participate in code reviews and help improve internal tools and build systems.
- Document your work clearly and communicate progress with the broader engineering team.
What We’re Looking For:
- Currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s program in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
- Familiarity with C++ programming and a solid understanding of fundamental software concepts (memory management, concurrency, etc.).
- Exposure to embedded systems, real-time programming, or microcontroller development (ARM Cortex, STM32, or similar).
- Comfortable using basic lab tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and multimeters (a plus).
- Experience with version control (Git) and build tools (CMake, Make, etc.).
- Curiosity about how hardware and software interact, and enthusiasm for hands-on problem-solving.
- Excitement about a career in space communications and working in startups.
Why Join Us:
- Build real systems that bridge hardware and software in production environments.
- Learn from engineers who work across the stack—from kernel space to user space.
- Gain experience with professional development workflows used in industry.
- Collaborative, mentorship-driven environment that encourages learning and initiative.
AnySignal values and fosters an inclusive, accessible environment, where all employees and customers feel respected, supported and able to participate. We welcome applications from: women, Aboriginal persons, persons with disabilities, ethnic minorities, visible minorities, veterans, people who identify as LGBTQIA2S+ and others who may contribute to diversification in our environment.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
