🚀 Summer Internship

Bristol, +1

Rolling basis

Description

A persistent challenge in the testing of navigation systems is to obtain accurate “ground truth” trajectories against which performance can be gauged. Cameras can be used to measure trajectory changes; however, this alone is insufficient in the majority of use cases, requiring camera data to be fused with measurements from other types of sensor (e.g. GNSS, accelerometers, gyros).

Area of Responsibilities

Software Engineering

Responsibilities

This internship will involve the development and testing of new algorithms aimed at deriving accurate ground truth from the sensor measurements available in most modern smartphones and sports watches. You will work closely with members of our Sensor Fusion team, and the internship will allow you to develop the creative use of mathematics, programming and communication skills in a dynamic commercial setting.

Requirements

We are looking for students in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics or Engineering, who are keen to start gaining experience in the industry, and have:

Good writing, communication and interpersonal skills
A passion for engineering and technology
Ability to prioritise tasks and manage own time

Benefits

This is a paid internship depending on your year of study and remuneration ranges from £300 per week for first year students to £450 per week for fourth year students
Feedback sessions, knowledge-sharing and cross-training will be an integral part of your internship programme
You will have the opportunity to work from home but also be required to attend our office in Cambridge or Bristol as part of your development
Pro-rata holiday entitlement
Weekly lunches, team nights out and some fantastic social events
