Summer Internship Opportunity at the Fraunhofer-Chalmers Centre in Gothenburg, Sweden

The Systems and Data Analysis department at the Fraunhofer-Chalmers Centre for Industrial Mathematics intends to hire two students for a summer internship. The starting date is flexible; the salary is competitive for Sweden. However, note that there is no relocation assistance. You would be working under my supervision and assist in the further development of a prototype of a distributed system, which I built from scratch.

Here is the job ad:


Become a Summer Intern at the Fraunhofer-Chalmers Centre for Industrial Mathematics!

The Fraunhofer-Chalmers Research Centre for Industrial Mathematics (FCC) offers Software, Services and Contract Research for a broad range of industrial applications. Modelling, Simulation and Optimization of products and processes can boost technical development, improve efficiency and cut costs of both large and small businesses.

We are looking for two ambitious students with backgrounds in computer science or related fields to assist in an ongoing applied research project in the Systems and Data Analysis department. You will contribute to the further development of a distributed system in an Internet of Things context. There are several areas you could get involved in. Ideally, you have gained experience in two of the following:

- C programming
- Erlang programming; alternatively experience in any other programming language that supports the actor model
- design and implementation of embedded domain-specific languages
- front-end development (HTML5)

Your ideal profile:
- Chalmers student at the Master's level, preferably in the penultimate year
- Pursuing a degree in Computer Science or a similar field
- Previous work experience in the software industry or as a student research assistant
- Ability to work independently, based on supervision on a weekly basis

If you maintain a private code repository (Github, Gitlab, Bitbucket etc.), then please highlight this in your application. If you have other samples of work to show, such as a portfolio of projects on a blog or private website, we would be keen to have a look.

This internship is a full-time fixed-term position for six weeks. The starting date is flexible.
