Electrical or Firmware Engineering Internship, Summer 2021
Engineering @ Simplisafe:
At SimpliSafe, we design, develop, manufacture, and sell our own line of wireless, connected home security systems. This includes home sensors, cameras, and locks. Our technology and service platform secures the homes of millions of people across the United States and the U.K.
From hardware industrial design and firmware implementation to micro-services and mobile applications, our Engineering efforts are entirely completed in-house from our Boston Headquarters.
Engineering at SimpliSafe is built around small teams within an Agile environment. These teams are proud to own and run the literal "full stack", from designing and building the circuit boards on our hardware all the way up to coding the UI on our mobile applications, and building out our e-Commerce presence on SimpliSafe.com, accounting for 90% of our system sales.
Whether you’re a Mechanical Engineer, Electrical Engineer, Hardware/Firmware Engineer, Mobile Developer or Software Engineer, if you’re driven by solving complex problems at scale in a collaborative fast paced culture, we’d love to speak with you!
