Embedded Software Engineer Intern

Role - Intern Software Engineer (6 months fixed term contract)

Location - Glasgow

Our Opportunity

Working at Thales OME Glasgow site you will engage primarily with software and control engineers to investigate optimisation of real-time control loop algorithm execution times on a PIC32 platform through the use of Matlab Simulink and C code.

This opportunity would suit a student from an Engineering or Computing discipline and in particular we are looking for students who have an interest in working with real-time embedded software.

You will be in a hands-on software development role with experienced engineers providing mentoring and support.

About you:

• A demonstrable desire to work in real-time embedded software
• Enjoy designing developing and testing software solutions and components
• Has some knowledge of programming languages and frameworks (C C). Knowledge of Matlab Simulink would be a bonus but not essential
• Have a basic understanding of embedded systems/hardware
• Organised and able to communicate clearly

Roles & Responsibilities:

You will:

• Further develop your programming skills in C
• Investigate potential areas which may improve execution times of control loop algorithms built with Simulink and hand-crafted C code typically on a PIC32 microcontroller platform:
  • Use of fixed point maths in Simulink
  • PIC32 simulinik model startup times
  • Creating custom code blocks where certain Simulink blocks introduce delays
  • Restructuring of Simuilink models
  • Optimisation settings for Simulink code generation
• Further develop an appreciation of hardware platforms

What We Can Offer:

Whilst this is an intern placement it could potentially lead to full-time employment.
There is ample opportunity to develop your skills within Thales developing as an engineer further progressing to senior technical roles (e.g. Software Architect or Technical Specialist) or project managerial roles (Software Engineering Manager).

Training is provided through a mixture of mentoring online and in-person courses. Thales actively encourages membership of professional organisations such as the IET and will pay membership fees and support individuals to work towards Chartered status.
