SUMMER INTERNSHIP 2016
Now that your college year is winding down,
you’re probably beginning to look for a place to
land. Although it’s time to buckle down and join
the “real world” for a bit, the options may not
be as exciting as you’d hoped. So many
engineering jobs want you to be a small cog in a
big machine. They need people to crunch numbers,
write reports, and make incremental improvements.
But you’re not interested in being pigeonholed or
working on things that just aren't that
interesting. Hey, that group project you worked
on was a lot of fun. It was exciting to be part
of a team, to build something real. Or maybe you
enjoyed messing around with that Arduino board or
making widgets on the shop's 3D printer or wiring
up the telemetry on the school solar car. Why
can’t someone just pay you to do more of that? We
invite you to take a peek inside the door at Mindtribe.
WHO WE ARE
Mindtribe provides product development and
engineering services to clients. In other words,
companies hire us to build their products for
them - typically hardware that requires
electrical, mechanical, and firmware components.
Fundamentally, we all love to make things, and we
focus on projects that are interesting,
challenging, and new. Our clients span a range of
industries from consumer electronics to medical
devices, automotive, and robotics. For over 18
years Mindtribe has worked with a variety of
clients including established companies like BMW
and Apple, as well as startups developing
products like the Lyft Glowstache, Sonos Play5,
and the Tesla Roadster (back when Tesla was a wee 40-person company).
A DAY IN THE LIFE
This is not your typical summer internship. Our
interns are critical teammates that work directly
with clients, improve systems and workflows, and
play key roles in creating successful products.
You’ll be welcome to take on as much
responsibility as you can handle, both within
your core discipline and beyond. We’ve had
electrical engineers spend their summer learning
iOS, mechanical engineers take a leadership role
during manufacturing stages in China, and
embedded software engineers delve into the
wonderful world of prototyping. Read about Julias

Developing products with our clients is similar
in many ways to extended project classes we work
in close--knit teams of typically 2 - 5 engineers
to bring something new into the world.
Day-to-day, here are some examples of things that make us happy:
Electrical
Putting together a schematic that is beauttiful because it is self-explanatory.
Striving for the mythhical steak dinner awarded
to anyone who designs an error-free board in one spin.
Watching your product breeze through ESD testing likke Odin in a Faraday cage.
Your educational experience focuses on analog or
digital electronics design, printed circuit
layout, or hands-on debugging using equipment
like oscilloscopes and multimeters.
Embedded Software
Programming 5 different microcontrollers in ass many weeks.
Figuring out the magic init sequence to harneess
an OLED display that you harvested from a smartphone.
TTeaching a dev board to speak Bluetooth so it can introduce itself to an iPad.
If you’re currently pursuing an academic program
that gives you exposure to microcontrollers,
mechatronics, writing code (C programming), and
interacting with low-level hardware, our Embedded team wants to hear from you!
Mechanical
The smell of fresh 3DD printing in the morning.
Getting friendly with SolidWorkss' draft angle
tools to get a part ready for mass-production.
• Hearing that a one-off demo prototype worked so
well that the client is using it to run user tests.
The subtle, delicate art of tthe interference fit
Wielding SoldWorks keyboard shortcuts like a CAD ninja
Your work has focused on analytical and empirical
approaches to mechanical design, applying your
favorite principles from mechanics of materials
and fluid dynamics, rapid prototyping, and machine design.
As an intern, you’d be tackling tasks like these,
personally owning anything you’re capable of
taking on and working in tandem with senior engineers for more complex tasks.
CULTURE AND ENVIRONMENT
Mindtribe is a small company. As a result, your
contributions will have immediate, visible
impacts not just on projects, but also on the
success of the entire organization. Working at
Mindtribe is being immersed in a constant stream
of different projects, industries, and
technologies; learning is unavoidable. As a
result, not only do we stay current in our own
fields, we also have MEs developing iOS apps, EEs
driving SolidWorks, and Embedded Software
engineers laying out PCBs. The only pigeonholes
around here are the nooks by the fire escape where the pigeons live.
We’re located in the heart of downtown San
Francisco, convenient to public transit and at an
epicenter of a flourishing technology industry.
Our team enjoys working together, and we greatly
value maintaining an awesome company environment.
We look for people who are bright, enthusiastic,
and fun! ‘Tribers regularly spend time together
outside the office, whether that’s doing happy
hour at a local watering hole or enjoying the
rocking chairs at the Exploratorium.
