Train Software Intern - 3 Months

Are you an ambitious undergraduate looking for a unique intern programme?

Join Siemens over the summer and see for yourself how we can give you fantastic work experience compacted into 3 exciting months! Could this be the next step in your journey towards your career? If yes, then Siemens Mobility is the place for you!

This is your opportunity to understand how our work impacts everyday life across the globe, and you could be at the heart of that work. From seeing how a line of code evolves into a solution used worldwide, to exploring the breadth and depth of our diverse transport projects, build your skills with us and help create a better #TomorrowWithUs

On one of our internal systems, we are using a CD-ROM based software loading procedure. Handling CD-ROMs and the associated CD-ROM drives is cumbersome and error-prone (CD-ROM has scratches, CD-ROM drive does not function correctly, …) for our technicians.

Your task would be to implement a virtual CD-ROM drive (using USB-gadget mode) on a Raspberry PI Zero 2W (or similar) including a screen and associated user interface to allow the technician to select from multiple emulated CD-ROMs. The final solution should be able to withstand the harsh railway environment and be able to deal gracefully with sudden power loss. There shall be an end-user accessible functionality to add/replace CD-ROM images. Optionally, the solution shall also be able to emulate USB-sticks.

Siemens will provide access to an off-train test rig to develop the solution and facilitate on-train testing for the finished product.
