Summer Makers 2027 - Student internship
Intern
Kraków, Poland · Oslo, Norway · Trondheim, Norway · Espoo, Finland
Are you a maker who loves tinkering? Do you build your own projects, join hackathons, or build things just to see if they work? Then spend your summer building something awesome with Nordic, and show it to thousands of developers around the world.
In summer 2027, three students will join Marketing and Developer Experience at Nordic Semiconductor. Together, you'll build demos and projects that show what developers can do with Nordic's solutions, and then present them in blog posts and videos. AI-assisted development is part of how you'll work: you'll build with Claude and the Nordic MCP server, and show developers how you did it.
What you'll do
Pitch your own project ideas, and choose together with us the ones that matter to developers.
Build one bigger project or several smaller ones. Everything is on the table.
Use AI-assisted development for building, coding and debugging.
Create DevZone blog posts and YouTube videos about what you build and how you built it. Maybe your demo will make it to the Nordic booth at embedded world 2028?
Work as a team of three, combining your skills and helping each other.
Your playground
Pick and combine technologies from Nordic's portfolio: Bluetooth LE, Bluetooth Channel Sounding, Matter, Thread, Wi-Fi, cellular IoT, edge AI, PMICs and nRF Cloud, all built on Zephyr and the nRF Connect SDK. Want to design your own PCB? There's time for that in a summer too.
Whatever you build should show Nordic's strengths, such as low power consumption and wireless connectivity that's easy to develop with.
Built by students before you:
Beehavior monitoring: sensors in beehives that track hive conditions and send the data to the cloud. Blog post and videos.
Wireless Wizard Wand: a wand that controls smart home devices with gestures, using edge AI on a custom PCB, and was shown at Skaperfest, Trondheim's maker festival. Project on GitHub.
Who we're looking for
We're looking for students who:
Are studying for a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Cybernetics, Computer Science or a related field.
Already build your own projects: firmware, software, hardware, apps or anything in between.
Have experience with some of these: C, embedded development, Zephyr, PCB design, app development, Python or cloud.
Are curious about AI-assisted development, or already use it.
Are interested in explaining what you build, in writing or on video. We'll support you along the way.
What we offer
A paid summer internship of 8–10 weeks in summer 2027.
Access to AI tools like Claude, and the tokens to build with them.
The development kits, tools and hardware you need, including a Power Profiler Kit II to measure power consumption.
Mentoring from experienced developer advocates and engineers.
The possibility of a part-time position after the summer.
