INTERNSHIP - FIRMWARE DEVELOPMENT (M/F/D)
HACKING THE PHYSICS AND ECONOMICS OF MOTION CONTROL WITH DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY
The company introduces an entirely new approach to motion axes by integrating formerly discrete components, such as motors, drives, sensors and gearboxes into seamless units and digitizing performance and quality factors that are so far dependent on costly mechanical manufacturing. Innovation leaders around the world choose to work with Synapticon to path their way into the future of intelligent, motion control-related systems. Be part of it, join Synapticon!
YOUR MISSION
We're looking for a passionate Software Developer Intern to help specify and prototype a bunch of crazy ideas we have.
Our microcontroller is powerful, and we're excited by the possibilities! You will be involved in all first stages of product development, from market research and specification, to building firmware prototypes and testing them in robots.
The duration of your mandatory Internship is approx. 6 months, full-time, with a possibility that your project can continue into a master's thesis.
YOUR PROFILE
You are pursuing a computer science degree with emphasis on "bare metal" embedded systems, such as ARM or 8051 microcontrollers. You have a firm, practiced, understanding of C, and are familiar with a few standard microcontroller patterns. Or you have a good grasp of python and are keen to find out all about automated firmware testing.
You have a fascination with programming languages, microcontrollers, and how they work.
You look for a mandatory Internship.
You like to work in a professional and passionate team, and have love and curiosity for technical topics, and the ability to independently research advanced topics. You can get your hands dirty and make it work.
