Powai, Mumbai has an Associate Firmware Engineer internship open. On-site, ₹14,500 a month, and genuinely built for someone early in their embedded systems journey.
What you'll actually do
- Design and test firmware for hardware devices as they move through development
- Debug issues that show up at both the circuit level and the system level
- Document technical specifications clearly enough for someone else to pick up your work
Firmware debugging rarely has an obvious starting point. A device that resets unexpectedly could be a brown-out from a power draw spike, a watchdog timer catching a hung process, or a straightforward logic bug in the code itself. Working through that ambiguity is genuinely part of the job, not a rare exception, and it's exactly the skill this internship is meant to build.
Who should apply
A bachelor's degree is required, and electronics or electrical engineering is the natural fit, though the team looks past the exact major toward real technical grounding. No prior professional experience is required. What matters is whether you've genuinely worked with circuit design, embedded programming, or hardware prototyping already, whether through coursework, a college project, or something you built on your own.
Skills you'll need
- Embedded C or C++
- Microcontroller programming
- Hardware debugging
Skills that give you an edge
Some exposure to an RTOS such as FreeRTOS helps a lot, since real-time scheduling concepts come up constantly in firmware work beyond bare-metal programming. Basic Git usage keeps your code changes tracked and reviewable. Comfort with lab equipment like an oscilloscope or multimeter matters more day-to-day than it might seem on a resume, and any prior use of a PCB design tool rounds things out nicely if the role touches board-level work.
Naukri Mitra sees a steady stream of firmware and embedded internships coming out of Mumbai's Powai and Andheri tech corridors, and this one sits comfortably within that range for pay and structure.
Pay and setting
The stipend is ₹14,500 a month for this firmware engineer internship in Mumbai, based on-site at Powai. There's no remote component here, so plan for a regular commute or a short-term move if you're coming from outside the city.
What's included
- Monthly stipend of ₹14,500
- Mentorship from senior embedded systems engineers
- Certificate of completion at the end of the internship
- Strong potential for a full-time offer based on performance
- On-site cafeteria access
- Cab or commute support
The full-time conversion path is worth taking seriously here. Interns who do solid work tend to get first consideration when an associate-level opening comes up on the same team.
Applying
A resume alone won't say much without something to back it up, so include any firmware projects, lab work, or personal builds you've done, even small ones. Being able to explain a debugging decision you made, not just describe the final result, tends to stand out in the review process. Shortlisted candidates should expect a short technical conversation focused on a past hardware or firmware problem.
