About Meter

Meter is building the vertically integrated network company: hardware, software, services, ISP, data, and autonomous networks from the local network to the data center. Backed by General Catalyst and Sequoia.

About the role

Most of the networking industry treats hardware as a commodity–we don’t. Build the hardware right, and everything above it gets better. Meter designs its own Firewalls, Switches, Wireless Access Points, PDUs, and Gateways because customers subscribe to the network instead of buying individual boxes; we're accountable for how the hardware performs for years. We sweat details most people never see, like the logo stamped inside the enclosure and the sound spec on our fans. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • You’re pursuing a degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related technical field
  • You like taking an ambiguous technical problem and breaking it into questions you can answer through engineering and experimentation
  • You’ve built, tested, debugged, or taken apart hardware on a design team, in a lab, or at home, or you’re eager to start
  • You’re comfortable working with physical systems: PCBAs, mechanical assemblies, test equipment, prototypes, manufacturing data, or supplier samples
  • You can explain technical findings clearly and turn your work into recommendations others can act on
More about this role

Meter is a vertically integrated networking company. Hardware, software, services, ISP, and autonomous networks run on a single data pipeline, from the local network to the data center.

Most of the networking industry treats hardware as a commodity–we don’t. Build the hardware right, and everything above it gets better. Meter designs its own Firewalls, Switches, Wireless Access Points, PDUs, and Gateways because customers subscribe to the network instead of buying individual boxes; we're accountable for how the hardware performs for years. We sweat details most people never see, like the logo stamped inside the enclosure and the sound spec on our fans. Great hardware takes more than designing circuits and shipping products: It means thinking hard about performance, reliability, manufacturability, supply chain, installation, sustainability, and the full product lifecycle.

We’re hiring Hardware Engineering Interns to solve real technical problems across Meter’s hardware engineering and operations teams. Over 12 weeks, you’ll own a well-scoped project picked to fit your interests, your experience, and the problems that matter most to Meter:
