Assignment
In this internship assignment, the primary objective is to establish seamless communication between our manure robot and the cloud environment through the implementation of an Azure IoT Edge device. The task involves setting up an interface from the robot to the edge device and subsequently configuring and deploying the edge device itself, which will run on hardware such as the IOT-GATE-iMX8 or another recommended device.
The intern will delve into the intricacies of Azure IoT Edge, gaining a comprehensive understanding of its capabilities and requirements. They will work closely with experienced software engineers to design and implement the interface between the manure robot and the edge device, ensuring efficient and reliable data transmission.
A key aspect of the assignment is the selection and setup of the hardware platform for the Azure IoT Edge device. Whether it be the IOT-GATE-iMX8 or an alternative device, the intern will install and configure the Azure IoT Edge runtime, laying the foundation for subsequent development. Throughout the internship, the intern will collaborate with test engineers to verify the functionality of the communication interface and conduct rigorous testing to ensure the reliability, scalability, and security of the communication channel between the robot and the cloud environment.
What do we ask?
Preferably, you are pursuing a technical HBO or WO education with a focus on software. During your studies, you have previous experience working with visualizations or have gained experience with ROS. Experience in programming in C++ is advantageous.
During your internship, you will work independently towards a proof-of-concept, with support from experienced software engineers. Our test engineers will assist you in setting up the necessary development environment. In addition to delivering a proof-of-concept, at the end of your internship period, you will submit a research report detailing all considerations and findings. This report will provide JOZ with the insights needed to take the next steps based on your results!
