Engineering Internship

Hands-on internships in Montréal with a pathway to full-time. These are the areas we are hiring interns into. They share one mission, getting OSCP’s IMUs working in the real world, and one core: hands-on hardware, real software, and a project you own from bench to result. If any, or all, of these fit you, we want to hear from you. You do not need to check every box in one area, and the strongest candidates often bridge two.

Where we need help

• Drone systems. Integrate our IMU onto a heavy-lift drone (Aurelia X8 or similar), write the flight-stack interface (PX4 / ArduPilot), plan and fly test missions, and pilot for a professional promo shoot. We cover your Transport Canada RPAS certification.
• Robotic systems. Build the ROS2 integration layer for our IMUs: sensor-fusion pipelines (EKF, complementary filters) and simulation (Gazebo, RViz), then validate on real robotic platforms.
• Mechanical design. Design IMU housings, sensor mounts, and test fixtures in CAD (OnShape), run thermal and structural FEA, prototype in-house, and qualify designs against vibration, shock, and temperature.
• Software development. Build software at every level, from low-level drivers for our IMU products up to the applications that configure, test, and integrate them on customer platforms.

What you will do

• Own a real engineering project end to end, from bench setup to a demonstrable result.
• Interface OSCP hardware with software over serial protocols (SPI, I2C, UART).
• Build, integrate, and test on real hardware in the lab.
• Collect, log, and analyze data to evaluate IMU performance.
• Work shoulder to shoulder with the hardware, firmware, and test teams.
• Document your work so it survives you: drivers, procedures, and playbooks.

Who you are

• Someone who builds things: the kind of person who ships side projects, competes with a university team, and would rather see a design running on the bench than sitting in a slide.
• Pursuing a degree or technical diploma (including CEGEP/DEC) in Mechanical, Electrical, Computer, Aerospace, Mechatronics, or Software Engineering, Physics, Photonics, or a related program.
• Programming ability in C/C++ and/or Python, weighted by area.
• Hands-on experience building physical or software systems, not just coursework.
• Comfort with embedded systems, lab equipment, or CAD, depending on area.
• Strong problem-solving and comfort with open-ended challenges.
• Big plus: active in a robotics, drone, or aerospace club (Dronolab, Space Concordia, McGill Robotics, or similar).

How to apply

Send your resume, a short cover letter, and any portfolio links (GitHub, project videos, competition results). Tell us which area or areas fit you, one, a few, or all. Reviewed on a rolling basis; apply early. OSCP is an equal opportunity employer.
