Embedded Test Automation Engineer Internship

Are you studying Computer Science or Electronic Engineering (HBO/WO) and looking for an internship?

We are looking for an enthusiastic and driven intern to join our dynamic team. The primary focus of this internship will be on developing automated Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) tests for our Astronaut milking robot. This is to reduce the amount of time and energy spent every release on performing repetitive system tests manually.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop Automated HIL Tests: Design and implement HIL tests to automate the testing processes.
• Tool Development: Utilize Python to create tools for emulating test signals and analyzing test results.
• Software Modification: Make necessary changes to the milking robot software, where required, to support the testing tools. A basic understanding of C++ is beneficial for this task.
• Hands-on Interaction: Initially, interact with the robot's mechanical, electrical, electronic, and software components manually, progressing towards using a virtual interface.

Requirements

Qualifications:

• Pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
• Proficiency in Python; basic knowledge of C++ is a plus.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team environment.
• Enthusiasm for learning and applying new technologies.
• Prior experience or coursework in robotics or automated testing is advantageous but not required.

The intern will be working alongside a team of 6-8 engineers specializing in different domains, and more than happy to share their knowledge. You can expect roughly 50% of the time being spent programming, 40% of it testing in the workshop, and the remaining 10% at the basketball court ;)
