Choose one of these assignments
1. Edge-to-cloud connectivity proof of concept
Do you want to build something real at the intersection of embedded systems, connectivity, and cloud integration? You will develop a proof of concept showing how equipment data can be collected at the edge, transferred reliably, and made available in the cloud in a practical, secure, and scalable way. You will combine hands-on prototyping with research into remote connectivity, cybersecurity, and commercially available edge-computing solutions.
2. Automated software-testing infrastructure
Do you want to build and improve the automated testing infrastructure behind software that runs real industrial machinery? You will investigate automated-testing frameworks, establish test pipelines, and integrate automated testing into existing development workflows. Your goal will be to help the team deploy software faster and with greater confidence.
3. MATLAB and CODESYS integration proof of concept
Do you want to work on a real technical challenge involving software, system integration, and automation? You will investigate how a MATLAB application can be integrated into the ISC PEM environment and communicate with CODESYS. You will develop a proof of concept that demonstrates technical feasibility and helps shape future development decisions.
What you’ll do:
- Translate a technical challenge into a clear project plan and achievable internship goals.
- Research relevant technologies, frameworks, and integration options to support evidence-based decisions.
- Design, build, and evaluate a proof of concept or testing solution that addresses a real ISC need.
- Collaborate with ISC colleagues and international stakeholders to ensure your work is practical and relevant.
- Document and present your approach, findings, and recommendations so the team can build on your work.
What you bring:
- You are pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in IT, software engineering, embedded systems, automation, controls engineering, electrical engineering, industrial automation, or a related technical field.
- You are motivated by software, machinery, automation, and practical engineering challenges.
- You can work independently, organize your project, and ask for guidance when needed.
- You communicate clearly in English and are comfortable collaborating with international stakeholders.
- You are available for an internship or graduation project of approximately six months and can work from the office two to three days per week.
Nice-to-haves
- Interest or experience in embedded systems, device communication, cloud integration, edge computing, automated testing, MATLAB, CODESYS, or IT/OT interfaces.
- A structured and analytical approach to prototyping, testing, and technical problem-solving.
- The ability to translate technical findings into practical recommendations.
If you don’t meet every requirement but are excited about the role, we still encourage you to apply.
