What does the internship program entail?

As a Summer Intern on the Endpoint Software Development team, you’ll work on Remote Turret, a real production application that enables users to securely connect to and operate a physical turret from anywhere, as if they were on-site.

Your primary focus will be improving the screen‑sharing experience, a critical capability that directly impacts usability for support engineers and future customers. You’ll take ownership of meaningful enhancements that help scale this solution to a broader audience.

• Optimizing real-time screen sharing
• Research and evaluate secure remote-display technologies (for example, VNC-based approaches)
• Build proof-of-concepts, assess trade-offs with the team, and implement the selected solution
• Improve responsiveness for interactions like dragging windows and swipe gestures
• Expanding diagnostics (time permitting)
• Add diagnostic jobs to Remote Turret
• Enable visibility into turret performance trends over time to support monitoring and troubleshooting

You’ll collaborate closely with senior engineers on the Endpoints team, gaining hands-on experience with professional software development practices. While you’ll lead feature development, you’ll partner with experienced engineers on:

• Architecture and design decisions
• Code reviews and validation
• Testing and production readiness

Your work will span two active codebases

• Turret firmware (embedded C/C++/Rust)
• Remote Turret application (web-based UI packaged in a Tauri container)

By the end of the summer, you’ll have contributed production code, developed a deeper understanding of distributed systems, embedded software, and modern web technologies, and seen how your work impacts real users.

How You Will Make an Impact

• Show Your Enthusiasm: Your motivation and eagerness to learn will bring positive energy to our team.
• Take Initiative: Don’t be afraid to propose new ideas and solutions. Your fresh perspective can make a real difference.
