Electronics and IoT Intern – Mushroom Kothi Development Role Description: As an Electronics and IoT Intern, you will play a critical role in designing, prototyping, and optimizing the hardware systems of Mushroom Kothi – a smart IoT-based climate-controlled chamber for mushroom cultivation. You will work on integrating sensors, controllers, and communication modules to develop a scalable and cost-effective automated solution tailored for rural environments. Key Responsibilities: Design and prototype electronic circuits for environmental monitoring (temperature, humidity, CO₂, light). Integrate IoT modules (e.g., ESP32, NodeMCU) with sensor arrays. Develop PCB layouts using software like KiCad or Eagle based on provided schematics. Implement data transmission via WiFi/Bluetooth/LoRa to cloud or local dashboards. Assist in microcontroller programming using C/C++ (Arduino IDE) or MicroPython. Calibrate sensors and validate hardware performance in simulated and live conditions. Support the development of power-efficient and solar-compatible systems. Document circuit designs, component specifications, and assembly processes. Learning Outcomes: Hands-on experience with embedded systems and microcontrollers. Real-world exposure to sensor calibration and environmental control hardware. End-to-end understanding of building an IoT hardware product from concept to deployment. Collaboration in an interdisciplinary agri-tech team working on sustainable farming. Required Skills: Basic understanding of electronics and embedded systems. Familiarity with microcontrollers (Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, etc.). Knowledge of sensors: DHT22, MQ135, DS18B20, LDR, relay modules, etc. Ability to read circuit diagrams and use PCB design tools. Basic soldering and hardware assembly skills. Strong problem-solving attitude and eagerness to experiment. Preferred (Bonus) Skills: Prior experience with IoT projects or climate-controlled systems. Knowledge of MQTT or HTTP-based communication protocols. Exposure to cloud IoT platforms (e.g., ThingSpeak, Firebase, Blynk). Experience with 3D printing or enclosure design. Location: Hybrid – Development lab + field deployment at Saeedpur Khas (U.P.) Duration: Minimum 8 weeks (extendable based on performance and prototype iterations) Certificate & Opportunity: Internship certificate and letter of recommendation (LoR) upon successful completion. Stipend as per industry standards Outstanding interns may be offered pre-placement interview or long-term collaboration for scale-up and pilot trials.
