We are looking for embedded software intern in Eindhoven, as an intern you will contribute to innovative projects focused on improving the performance, scalability, and efficiency of IoT wireless gateway systems. These gateways play a critical role in connecting edge devices, managing network traffic, and ensuring reliable communication within IoT ecosystems.

Topic Description

Performance Optimization and Benchmarking of an IoT Wireless Gateway

This internship focuses on developing algorithimic techniques to optimize and benchmark the wireless network performance of an IoT wireless gateway that bridges multiple wireless protocols (e.g., Zigbee, BLE, Thread) to cloud or edge platforms.

The goal is to analyze system performance bottlenecks, optimize software and communication stacks, and benchmark key metrics such as throughput, latency and reliability under realistic IoT workloads.

During this internship, you will work with embedded platforms and networking stacks, leveraging tools and profiling techniques to assess system efficiency. You will gain hands-on experience with real-world IoT gateway architectures and contribute to improving reliability and scalability in connected lighting systems.

Notes

• EU students: To be considered for this internship, you need to be registered as a student during the entire internship period. Formal documentation of this may be requested at any time.

• Non-EU students in Dutch Universities: You need to be registered as a student, and your university needs to sign the Nuffic Agreement. The internship needs to be a compulsory part of your studies (receive ECTS in turn). In case of non-compulsory internship, you need to have a letter from the university in which it states that your internship contributes to your personal development, what your learning goals are, and what tasks you will undertake during your internship. The letter has to be signed and stamped by your university.

Please apply only if you can meet the aforementioned requirements.
