From the employer

The System Innovation team focuses on cutting-edge innovation projects, both national and international, with partners from industry and academia. These projects have a significant impact, from NXP’s products portfolio to standardization. The Industrial Communication Lab scope is TSN-based communication, both Wireless and Wired, and it is active in several international standardization organizations (5G-ACIA, IEEE, OPC Foundation, etc.).

The results of our projects are showcased as industrial white papers, research papers and system demonstrators that combine the latest security and communication technology. A demonstrator typically consists of NXPs embedded microcontrollers/microprocessors that are combined with NXPs Security ICs, wired/wireless communication links and a PC/Smartphone-based GUI application to deliver messages sent from the demonstrator.

The team is now looking for a working student (f/m/d) to support our research work in industrial communication for industrial automation and robotics. Extension of contract or conversion into thesis topics later is possible.

Tasks:

You will be involved in several development and deployment steps:

  • Research and analysis of technical specifications and standards of industrial real-time wireless communication networks.
  • Definition of the demonstrator concepts & system architecture
  • Configuration and evaluation of HW & SW demo components (embedded systems)
  • Integration of developed concepts into the system solution (HW & SW)
  • Support in System bring-up and configuration

Requirements:

  • Student of a Master course in Engineering/Information Technology or Bachelor students in 5th/6th semester with background in the research areas
  • Knowledge of Linux, embedded software implementation, or GUI programming advantageous
  • Previous interest or experience in communication and robotics
  • Pro-active, ability to work independently, creative and innovative mindset, and good team player

What We Offer:

  • An attractive hourly wage of €19.40
  • 30 vacation days per year
  • Flexible working hours
  • The possibility to work in a hybrid setup
  • Access to an on-site cafeteria
  • Networking initiatives and Employee Resource Groups such as Young Community, No Extra Planet, NXP Equal, Women in NXP, and more — fostering both professional and personal exchange

Please note:
The successful candidate may/will be responsible for security related tasks.
The assignment may/will be in scope of security certifications, therefore a conscious and reliable way of working is necessary.
