Internship - Systems Engineering for Eye-Tracking Integration in Smart Glasses (f/m/x)

As an intern in systems engineering for eye-tracking integration in smart glasses, you will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to advance the development of next-generation wearable technology. Your primary responsibility is to support the integration and optimization of eye-tracking systems within smart glass platforms, ensuring seamless functionality and user experience. You will work on system-level design and validation, including defining requirements for eye-tracking hardware and software components. This involves conducting feasibility studies, performing system simulations, and analyzing performance metrics to guide design decisions. You will assist in the development of test plans and execute experiments to evaluate eye-tracking accuracy, latency, and robustness under various conditions. Collaboration with hardware engineers is key to integrating sensors, cameras, and optics into the smart glass form factor. You will help troubleshoot integration issues, propose design modifications, and document technical findings. Additionally, you will work with software teams to calibrate eye-tracking algorithms and ensure compatibility with embedded systems. Your role includes participating in design reviews, contributing to technical reports, and presenting results to stakeholders. You will also monitor industry trends and emerging technologies related to eye-tracking and augmented reality to inform future development directions. This internship offers hands-on experience in systems engineering, from concept to prototype, within a dynamic research and development environment.

Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's degree program in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. Strong understanding of system integration principles and experience with hardware-software co-design. Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, C, or C++. Familiarity with sensor technologies, optics, or computer vision is preferred. Experience with simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB, Simulink) and data analysis. Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work in a team-oriented environment. Strong written and verbal communication skills in English. Prior internship or project experience in wearable technology or eye-tracking systems is a plus.
