Working Student (f/m/d) Industrial Wired/Wireless Communications Lab

The System Innovation team focuses on cutting-edge innovation projects, both national and international, with partners from industry and academia. These projects have a significant impact, from NXP’s products portfolio to standardization. The Industrial Communication Lab scope is TSN-based communication, both Wireless and Wired, and it is active in several international standardization organizations (5G-ACIA, IEEE, OPC Foundation, etc.).

The results of our projects are showcased as industrial white papers, research papers and system demonstrators that combine the latest security and communication technology. A demonstrator typically consists of NXPs embedded microcontrollers/microprocessors that are combined with NXPs Security ICs, wired/wireless communication links and a PC/Smartphone-based GUI application to deliver messages sent from the demonstrator.

The team is now looking for a working student (f/m/d) to support our research work in industrial communication for industrial automation and robotics. Extension of contract or conversion into thesis topics later is possible.

You will be involved in several development and deployment steps:

• Research and analysis of technical specifications and standards of industrial real-time wireless communication networks.
• Definition of the demonstrator concepts & system architecture
• Configuration and evaluation of HW & SW demo components (embedded systems)
• Integration of developed concepts into the system solution (HW & SW)
• Support in System bring-up and configuration

• Student of a Master course in Engineering/Information Technology or Bachelor students in 5th/6th semester with background in the research areas
• Knowledge of Linux, embedded software implementation, or GUI programming advantageous
• Previous interest or experience in communication and robotics
• Pro-active, ability to work independently, creative and innovative mindset, and good team player
