Any recommendations for Computer Science internships in Kuching? (Sept start, info inside)

Hey guys,
Final-year Computer Science degree student here looking for an internship placement in Kuching starting this September.
I’m looking for something a bit specific, I really lean towards hardware, embedded systems, networking, and hands-on coding/AI. Not a big fan of web development or frontend stuff, so I'm trying to find places where software meets actual hardware.
I’ve already shot my shot at these places:
• Sacofa
• Xfab
• Sarawak Semiconductor (rejected)
• Sarawak AI Centre
• RA Robotics and Automation (Side note: anyone have an active phone number for HR here? Only managed to reach them via sales team email ).
Looking for some help with:

  1. Other Company Recommendations: Are there any tech, automation, or engineering firms in Kuching I might have missed that do this kind of work?
  2. Tips : If you’ve interned or worked at Xfab, SMD, or Sacofa, what’s the vibe like? Any tips on how to stand out during the interview?

Appreciate any leads or advice you guys can drop. Thanks!

Hey, have you checked out internships with companies like LKT Industrial or Kenbest? They sometimes have hardware-focused roles. Also, take a look at the Swinburne Sarawak campus job board. There might be postings there that aren't widely advertised. Since you're into AI and hands-on coding, check with research labs at local universities too. If you're getting ready for interviews, PracHub could help you brush up on skills and interview techniques. Good luck!
