The position:
We are looking for a motivated student to join our team to work on RISC-V–based processing platforms.
This position offers hands-on experience in both hardware and firmware development, bridging the gap between embedded systems design and real-world implementation. Your detailed tasks will include:

• Understand and work with RISC-V–based processing architectures
• Develop and debug firmware interacting closely with hardware components in a real system
• Build RISC-V demonstrator systems, which may include:
• Prototyping PCBs with RISC-V ASICs
• Integrating external components, such as flash memory or peripheral interfaces
• Programming and managing flash memory devices
• Debugging and enabling external flash booting

Your qualifications:

• Bachelor students in electronics, computer engineering, embedded systems, or related majors
• Basic understanding of computer architecture or embedded systems
• Experience with C programming and hardware debugging tools (e.g., JTAG, logic analyzers) is a plus
• Interest in RISC-V, hardware/software co-design, or system bring-up

Our Offer:
Explore a challenging, multinational environment, conduct your own early-stage research and build your career in a renowned institute at the forefront of cutting-edge technologies.
We are committed to supporting the individual career development and personal needs of our staff by offering flexible working hours and the opportunity to work remotely.
