About this Software Engineering Intern — Inventory Automation & IoT/Robotics role at Exowatt
Work as one of a two-person intern team extending our internal inventory-management app and the IoT/robotics layer around it: LLM-driven anomaly detection, automated reorder, agentic purchasing, and sensor/RFID integration for receiving and tracking.
This position is based at our Austin facility.Key responsibilities
Extend the existing inventory-management app — automated reorder, price-trend awareness, and richer LLM-driven anomaly detection beyond today's rule-based alerts.
Build on the live RFID/MQTT + receiving pipeline; add IoT sensing and wire new device data into the platform.
Prototype agentic purchasing / reorder automation using LLM-driven workflows.
Explore a drivable RFID scanner (robotics/IoT) for automated stock-taking — build toward a working demonstrator.
During onboarding, read and improve existing internal apps (real platform improvements, not throwaway exercises).
Required qualifications
Pursuing a CS / software-engineering / EE / robotics (or closely related) degree.
Strong programming fundamentals; comfortable in Python.
Genuine interest in hardware / IoT / robotics alongside software.
Comfortable with Git and collaborative development.
Preferred / nice-to-have
Hands-on IoT / embedded / microcontroller experience.
RFID, sensors, or robotics / mechatronics exposure.
LLM / AI-API experience.
Scrappy hardware-hacker instinct; comfortable building physical demonstrators.
