About Revel

At 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 Internship

As a Forward Deployed Engineering Intern at Revel, you’ll work at the intersection of software and hardware, helping bring Revel’s technology into the real-world systems our customers build.

You’ll work closely with our Forward Deployed Engineering and Software teams to write code, build tools and dashboards, troubleshoot hardware integrations, and help deploy Revel alongside customer engineering teams. You’ll get hands-on exposure to aerospace, automotive, energy, and advanced manufacturing environments and see how software is used to control and operate complex physical systems.

This is a highly technical, hands-on internship. You’ll have the opportunity to take meaningful ownership of projects, work directly with experienced engineers, and see your work used in real-world hardware environments.

What You'll Do

• Write production-quality code in C, C++, Python, or Rust

• Build custom tools and dashboards to help engineers interact with and monitor hardware

• Support the integration of Revel with test stands, sensors, actuators, and existing customer infrastructure

• Work alongside customer and internal engineering teams to troubleshoot and solve technical problems

• Help develop and test software that interfaces directly with physical hardware

• Learn how software, firmware, and hardware systems work together end-to-end

• Translate learnings from customer deployments into product feedback for our software and product teams

• Collaborate with experienced Forward Deployed and Software Engineers on real customer projects

• Occasionally travel to customer sites with the team

What We're Looking For

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field

• Rising Junior or Senior graduating in 2027 or 2028

• Strong programming fundamentals and experience with at least one of C, C++, or Python

• Interest in systems engineering and understanding how software interacts with hardware

• Excited to work hands-on with real hardware and solve problems in the field

• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Curious, self-directed, and excited to learn from experienced engineers

• US citizen, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee (ITAR requirement)

Bonus Points

• Experience with embedded systems, robotics, aerospace, automotive, or other hardware-focused projects

• Experience with DAQ systems, PLCs, control systems, or industrial automation

• Familiarity with NI software, TwinCAT, or CodeSys

• Experience working with sensors, actuators, test equipment, or other physical hardware

• Personal, academic, or previous internship projects involving software + hardware

• Experience at a startup or other fast-moving engineering environment

• Passion for aerospace, advanced manufacturing, robotics, or other technically challenging industries

Why Revel

• Work on hardware that matters — our customers are building aerospace systems, advanced manufacturing lines, and critical infrastructure

• Build real things — your work will go beyond a classroom or demo environment and be used with real hardware

• Learn from exceptional engineers — work closely with experienced software and Forward Deployed Engineers

• Get customer exposure — see firsthand how engineering teams use Revel to solve real-world problems

• Own meaningful projects — take responsibility for projects that have a direct impact on our customers and product

• Grow quickly — work in a small, ambitious team where your contributions are visible
