#WeAreIn to create tiny chips and big careers. The future won’t wait... why should you? Join us and make a difference. Whether you join as a student, intern, or trainee, you\'ll be part of something real - real projects, real impact, and real opportunities to grow. Are you in?
Your Role
Key responsibilities in your new role:
Join our team and contribute to the development and optimization of software for industrial microcontrollers. This role is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience with real-time systems, hardware integration, and toolchain automation.

• Shape the future: You will develop and debug embedded software for industrial microcontrollers using the C programming language, working directly with peripherals such as GPIO, UART, SPI, I2C, ADC, and timers.
• Drive innovation: Write and maintain shell, Python, and Bash scripts to automate builds, enable testing frameworks, and improve development toolchains.
• Ensure quality: Perform code reviews, manage version control with Git, and create technical documentation including system architecture diagrams and API specifications.
• Make a difference: Test embedded systems functionality through unit testing and hardware-in-the-loop validation, optimizing code for performance and memory efficiency.
• Take responsibility: Debug hardware-software integration issues using tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG debuggers.

Your Profile
Qualifications and skills to help you succeed:

• Study field: You are currently enrolled in a degree program in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• (Work) experience: You bring strong C programming skills and a solid understanding of pointers, memory management, and data structures. Familiarity with at least one microcontroller platform (e.g., Arduino, STM32) is expected.
• Skills: You have basic knowledge in scripting languages like Python, Bash, or Shell. Experience with debugging tools and development environments is a plus.
• Way of working: You take an analytical and systematic approach to problem-solving and are comfortable working independently on complex technical challenges.
• Interests: You are enthusiastic about embedded systems, hardware-software interaction, and low-level programming concepts.
• Language skills: You have working proficiency in English, both written and spoken.
• Availability: You are available to work 15–20 hours per week during the lecture period.

Please attach the following documents to your application:

• CV in English
• Certificate of enrollment at university
• Latest grades transcript (not older than 6 months)
