Sales Engineering Intern

In this role you will have the opportunity to collaborate with software systems and integration experts to help develop embedded software integrate GNSS and sensor technologies build proof-of-concept prototypes and support demonstrations and customer trials. You will gain practical experience across hardware software and system integration while seeing how new technology moves from an initial idea to a working solution in the field.

This is a varied fast-moving role for a student who enjoys solving practical problems and wants to build skills across embedded development CAN and ROS integration sensor systems vehicle installation and prototype fabrication. Your work will directly support the teams customer engagements and next-generation demonstrations.

The Location: This position is based onsite in Calgary AB. Hands-on lab and vehicle work is central to the role; remote arrangements are not available for this position.

• Support embedded software development including sensor bring-up driver integration firmware debugging and C/C or Python development
• Test and validate embedded configurations in lab and field environments under the guidance of senior BD Technical Specialists
• Document software processes configurations and lessons learned to build knowledge within the team
• Integrate radar lidar and camera sensors with GNSS/INS systems including their interfaces and communication protocols
• Develop and test CAN bus interfaces and work within ROS environments to support customer integrations and demonstrations
• Troubleshoot sensor communication issues and reproduce customer-reported problems in the lab
• Build and assemble proof-of-concept prototypes for demonstrations customer trials and rapid technical requests
• Install sensors and equipment in vehicles including minor modifications needed for integration
• Fabricate antenna mounts equipment brackets and sensor mounting plates to support customer and demonstration needs
• Configure equipment to reproduce customer issues and support technical investigations
• Contribute to technical documentation team procedures and best practices
• Support pre-sales technical activities and post-sales follow-up as needed

• Enrolled in the Engineering Internship/Co-op program and have completed at least your 2nd or 3rd year of studies by the start of your work term
• Enrolled in Electrical Engineering Geomatics Engineering Computer Engineering Mechatronics or a closely related program at an accredited post-secondary institution
• Available for a minimum 12-month work term at 37.5 hours per week onsite in Calgary
• Demonstrated experience with C/C and/or Python programming either through coursework or personal projects
• Comfortable with hands-on physical work in a lab or workshop environment including use of basic hand tools and fabrication techniques
• Strong communication skills both written and verbal with the ability to clearly document technical work

Nice To Have:

• Experience working on student vehicle projects. Experience with sensor mounting and interfacing would be particularly valuable.
• Experience with embedded Linux real-time operating systems or bare-metal embedded development
• Familiarity with CAN bus protocols and tooling (e.g. CANalyzer Python-CAN Vector tools)
• Experience with Robot Operating System (ROS or ROS2) including writing nodes working with topics and integrating sensor drivers
• Exposure to radar lidar or camera sensors in an automotive or robotics context
• Experience with Python scripting for data analysis automation or hardware interfacing
• Familiarity with GNSS and/or GNSSINS positioning systems
• Experience with mechanical fabrication: drilling tapping working with aluminum extrusion (e.g. 80/20) or sheet metal
• Interest in autonomous vehicles mobile robotics or intelligent transportation systems

Key Success Factors:

• Practical problem-solver who is energized by challenges that blend software and hardware
• Self-starter who can take a task from ambiguous description to working prototype
• Detail-oriented and methodical with a first-time right approach to configuration and integration work
• Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid context-switching in a fast-paced customer-driven environment
• Collaborative team player who knows when to work independently and when to ask for help
