Introduction

How much fun is it to work on a high-tech development that contributes to the world of tomorrow? We are looking for an ambitious intern to help our Electrical Systems team. We find it important that you develop yourself optimally, therefore you will work together with experienced colleagues to make this project a success.

About the assignment

The PAL-V which is being developed consists of many modules running software on an embedded ARM processor. This software is designed in the C programming language. These modules are responsible for monitoring sensors, controlling actuators and driving displays. They feature an RS232 debug port supporting a command line interface. The modules are interconnected via a CAN bus. The CAN bus parameters can be read out using a monitoring application.

Your main tasks are:

  • Setup a standalone module test environment using the CAN bus, RS232 debug port and compactDAQ data acquisition system from National Instruments as interfaces to the module
  • Select and setup the tools and applications needed to create an automated test environment
  • Implement tests showing that the CAN bus, RS232 debug port and the compactDAQ data acquisition system can be used to perform automated software requirement verification.

Depending on the length of the internship these tasks can be extended.
