At Plexus, we don't just write code-we bring complex physical products to life. From life-saving medical devices to cutting-edge aerospace systems and high-reliability industrial technology, our Bathgate Design Centre designs and builds products that make a real-world impact. As a global leader in complex product design and manufacturing services, we thrive on solving the tough technical challenges that others can't.

Are you a creative software student who loves working close to hardware? We are looking for an Embedded Software Engineering Intern to join our multi-disciplinary product development team for a summer internship. You'll be exposed to diverse technologies, write low-level code, and see your software directly control real hardware in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment.

• Perform software design, coding, debugging, and testing throughout the product development life cycle.
• Collaborate directly with hardware, mechanical, and design assurance engineers to deliver integrated product solutions.
• Contribute to bare-metal embedded C/C++ development, driver development, or real-time operating system (RTOS) tasks on live client projects.
• Participate in design reviews, test execution, and hardware bring-up activities.

• Students currently pursuing a degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Electronics, or a related discipline.
• A strong foundation in C or C++ and an interest in low-level or embedded systems.
• Curious minds who enjoy lateral thinking, learning new tech stacks quickly, and working in a technically challenging environment.
