Emerging Talent
We are seeking multiple Interns for Summer 2026! These are paid, in-person, 12 week internships based out of Atlanta, GA.
At Flock, we believe emerging talent is the future of innovation. Our Emerging Talent Program gives early-career professionals the opportunity to make an immediate impact on real-world challenges while learning in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. You’ll work alongside experienced mentors, build skills that accelerate your career, and contribute directly to our mission of creating safer, thriving communities. From day one, you’re treated like a full-time employee, with real projects, real responsibility, and real impact.
The Opportunity
Flock Safety is looking for a Device Software Engineering Intern to join our Device Software organization—the teams responsible for the software running on thousands of solar-powered devices deployed in the field.
As an intern, you will gain hands-on experience working across the device software stack, contributing to the reliability, performance, and functionality of our next-generation platforms. You’ll collaborate with experienced engineers to develop, test, and maintain software that runs directly on physical hardware, helping our devices capture, process, and upload millions of images to the cloud.
This role offers exposure to embedded systems, device-level software, and operating-system-level development. You won’t just be observing—you’ll work on real projects, assist with device bring-up and feature integration, and help ensure our devices operate efficiently at scale in real-world, power-constrained environments. This is a unique opportunity to see how software and hardware come together to power mission-critical products.
The Skillset
- Pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
- Experience programming in one or more of the following: C, C++, Java, or Kotlin
- Academic or project-based exposure to embedded systems, device software, or systems programming
- Comfort working in a Linux-based development environment and familiarity with version control tools (Git)
- Ability to read, understand, and contribute to existing codebases
- A strong problem-solving mindset and interest in how software interacts with hardware
- Curiosity about performance, reliability, and systems-level behavior
- Strong communication skills and a desire to collaborate in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment
- Exposure to embedded platforms or development boards (e.g., Arduino, ESP32, STM32)
- Familiarity with RTOS concepts, bare-metal programming, or operating system internals
- Experience with Android development or the Android SDK, especially for non-UI or “headless” systems
- Interest in power-constrained or battery-operated devices
- Experience using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, or logic analyzers
- Familiarity with peripheral protocols like SPI, I2C, or UART
