company description.

Did you know that more than 45 billion disposable RFID tags are made annually and typically end up in landfill after a short life cycle? Pulpa Tronics develops fully-recyclable and metal-free RFID tags that are also cheaper and simpler to manufacture. Pulpa Tronics spent the last 2 years in R&D and we’re looking to deliver our first pilots. We have won two research grants, numerous competitions (e.g. Dezeen Awards, Santander

X Global Challenge, H&M Foundation) and secured our pre-seed funding. We are looking for applicants to join our team of five, who share our passion for sustainability, have a startup “hustle” mentality, and are eager to make real change in our society.

position summary.

We are seeking a highly motivated computing specialist to join our R&D team as a Software Developer Intern. This role is a unique opportunity to contribute directly to the scaling and commercialization of our core technology. You will be working on building novel, cloud-native solutions that dramatically accelerate the development cycle for our proprietary hardware systems.

The core project involves engineering an AI-driven optimization engine for critical system components, which will be the backbone of our ability to rapidly innovate and meet commercial demand. There is also an exciting opportunity to explore a secondary, cutting-edge project: leveraging deep learning for advanced material characterization using high-resolution image analysis. This position offers significant autonomy and a chance to truly own a product component from architecture to deployment.

We are looking for an intern who is eager to drive a project and make a direct, measurable impact.

Responsibilities

Design and Implement a software architecture for cloud-native engineering solutions, focusing on performance, stability, and scalability.

Develop and Integrate advanced computational tools to drive iterative design and optimization processes, linking high-fidelity simulation environments with scalable computing resources.

Contribute to the full development lifecycle, including rigorous testing, performance evaluation, and maintaining detailed documentation.

Collaborate closely with R&D, scaling-up, IP, and commercial teams to ensure engineering solutions are aligned with business and product development goals.

Document and Present methodology and findings in technical design reviews, clearly articulating the impact of your work.

Required Qualifications

Strong academic background (Degree in Computing, Electronic and Information Engineering, Data Science, Applied Mathematics, or similar).

Demonstrated experience in developing and applying optimization algorithms (e.g., Genetic Algorithms, Particle Swarm Optimization, Reinforcement Learning).

Proficiency in Python for software development, with experience in relevant libraries (e.g., Num Py, Pandas, Tensor Flow/PyTorch is a bonus).

Experience with or a strong aptitude for using cloud computing platforms (Google Cloud Platform preferred) for scalable computation.

Familiarity with Electromagnetic simulation tools like Ansys HFSS or similar finite element modeling software is highly desirable.

Comfortable reading, analyzing, and synthesizing information from academic research papers to inform algorithm design and implementation.

Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to translate research concepts into functional, reliable software.

Ability to work independently, manage project timelines, and communicate complex technical information effectively to multidisciplinary teams.

Opportunities

Opportunity to take full ownership and lead a significant component of the technological R&D development.
Milestones tailored to personal development goals with plenty of support and training.
Work from home one day a week.
