Internship: Computer Science Student – Custom PC & Server Builder
Location: New York City (hybrid/remote possible)
Type: Internship (Part-time, with growth opportunities)
About the Role
Are you a computer science student passionate about hardware, servers, and
hands-on problem solving? We are looking for an intern who loves building and experimenting with
custom computers and servers. You’ll start with the Minisforum MS-01
and MS-A1 mini PCs and expand into projects involving
Proxmox virtualization, BIOS/firmware updates, eGPU setups, and 3D-printed case adaptations.
This is an opportunity to merge your CS knowledge with real-world hardware engineering.
What You'll Do
- Assemble and configure custom PCs and servers for internal and client projects
- Install and manage Proxmox, set up virtual machines, and experiment with clustering
- Perform BIOS and firmware updates across different systems
- Design, adapt, and test 3D-printed case mods and hardware enclosures
- Build SSD-based NAS and storage systems
- Integrate and test eGPU expansion units (NVIDIA preferred)
- Troubleshoot, optimize, and document builds for learning and knowledge sharing
Who We're Looking For
- Computer science student (undergrad or grad) with strong interest in hardware
- Passionate about building PCs, servers, and experimenting with hardware products
- Basic knowledge of CPUs, RAM, SSDs, GPUs, and networking
- Eagerness to learn about Proxmox, virtualization, and hardware/firmware tuning
- Bonus: experience with 3D printing or CAD tools
- Curious, reliable, and detail-oriented
Why Join Us?
- Turn your CS knowledge into hands-on hardware skills
- Mentorship in advanced server builds, virtualization, and storage systems
- Work on creative projects like 3D-printed case mods
- Flexible schedule, ideal for students
- Potential for long-term role as we grow
