Your Role

• We are looking for an intern to join our Hardware Quality Assurance team here at KOKO! This is a great opportunity for someone who is curious about hardware systems and passionate about quality. Our QA team ensures that our in-house designed hardware products — from smart fuel dispensers to embedded systems — meet high standards of reliability, safety, and performance through structured lab and field validation.
• The core project for this internship will be owning the lab maintenance and setup and running core tests and building documentation around the testing.

What You Will Do

• You will work alongside experienced hardware QA engineers and technicians to support product validation and testing activities.

You will:

• Assist in setting up and executing structured hardware test plans in lab and field environments.
• Operate standard lab tools and measurement equipment under supervision (multimeters, power supplies, environmental chambers, etc.).
• Document observations, test results, and deviations clearly and accurately.
• Learn and follow lab safety protocols and quality control procedures.
• Collaborate with QA engineers to identify anomalies and escalate issues.
• Contribute to ongoing efforts in improving test documentation, procedures, and data accuracy.
• This is a hands-on role designed to help you build technical and analytical skills while learning how hardware systems are validated in a production-grade QA environment.

What You Will Bring

• Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, or related engineering discipline
• Basic familiarity with electro-mechanical systems
• Use of lab equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, and power supplies
• Safe handling and assembly of mechanical and electronic components
• Basic data analysis using spreadsheets or simple dashboards

Other skills:

• Strong attention to detail and methodical approach to tasks
• Eagerness to learn, ask questions, and engage with testing processes
• Good written and verbal communication
• A team mindset and willingness to follow instructions carefully

Nice to Have

• Experience with basic CAD or 3D modeling tools
• Exposure to electronics debugging or soldering
• Familiarity with test documentation or structured testing methods
• Interest in IoT-connected hardware or smart energy solutions
