READY TO BOULD HIGH-END OPEN-SOURCE EDGE COMPUTING DEVICES:
In our team we design electronic devices that incorporate the latest processing platforms. This involves a comprehensive electronics development starting from initial prototypes, up to production-ready units. We cover different application areas including industrial control, medical devices, and Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (UAVs). We work intensively with image sensors and design compact-sized platforms optimized for machine vision with edge computing. Each of our hardware design projects is a challenge that requires good engineering practice, interdisciplinary knowledge and creativity, as well as the ability and willingness to work using open source tools.
As an intern you will actively contribute to R&D projects related to a wide variety of open hardware designs. You will have access to the latest processing platforms from NVIDIA, NXP, Qualcomm, Microchip and Xilinx. Your everyday work will involve Linux and other open source operating systems and platforms. You will be encouraged to work on smart and ambitious projects that will not just harness, but actively contribute to open standards and create scalable and reproducible solutions. You will be provided with all the necessary tools, from high-end gear and hardware to mentoring and team experience on every step of the way. Finally, your internship project will be prototyped and published as open hardware to make it available to the community.
