Implementation of Wireless Communication Solutions
We are searching for an engineering student with experience and interest in software development and network programming. In this position you will be joining our efforts in the European project ALARP (http://www.alarp.eu/) to design and implement wireless communication solutions for warning of workers on a railway track site. Besides implementing communication functions your tasks will be to develop, conduct and report practical measurement based tests of wireless equipment which will be applied in the project. The position is envisaged as part-time employment starting as soon as possible.
We expect that you:
- Have practical skills in software development (UML specifications) and implementation
- Have experience with programming and debugging in C, C++ and maybe Java
- Have experience with network programming (IP and Sockets)
- Have experience with Linux development
- May have some knowledge of wireless networking and particularly MAC layer IEEE 802.11/802.15.4 (Zigbee)
- Possess good analytical skills and are capable of working structured and independently as well as in a team.
- Fluency in English (for documentation tasks and interactions)
- Are available to pursuit the tasks as soon as possible
Further remarks:
The project contains several interesting topics relevant for a master project which may be pursued in parallel within: fault management, safety critical communication solutions (definition and evaluation of synchronous, timely and reliable broadcast solutions) and qualitative evaluation based on analytic models.
If case of interest, please contact:
