Summer Internship: Embedded Software

Spend a summer tackling challenging and interesting problems with Monil.

Are you interested in working on software with real-world impacts? At Monil we create products which improves the lives of both farmers and animals.

As a summer intern in Monil, you'll get to work on interesting problems where you'll have to use your own imagination and creativity in order to find good solutions to technical challenges. You'll work in collaboration with our experienced team of engineers, as well as with other departments, creating impactful solutions to actual problems.

The firmware team

The firmware engineering team makes the software that runs on the animal collar. This includes working with a wide variety of sensors to figure out where the animal is located, how it is moving and other vital signs. The collar needs a reliable wireless connection with the outside world, but to save power we want to use this as little as possible. So the collar needs to process complex sensor data locally and provide precise and intuitive feedback to the animal. All of this needs to be done on an extreme power budget and delivered at an aggressive timeline.

We are working in a fast paced development environment deploying firmware on thousands of devices in the field Over-The-Air. The firmware, written mainly in C, is running on an RTOS on a modern ARM Cortex CPU and is thoroughly tested for both logical and power consumption bugs in our continuous integration environment. For scripting and data analysis we use Python.
