Internship details
An exciting internship for software developers. Remote interns collaborate with experienced IT professionals working with state-of-the-art engineering software to develop virtual educational tools and other tools that enable the new era of distance working and working from home.
This is a remote internship you can conduct from home.
As a Laboratory Software Development intern, you’ll gain hands-on knowledge building and developing virtual laboratories for students at an international university in Greece. You’ll be collaborating with a team of experienced developers as you help to build a modern educational environment that appeals to students, is easy for academic staff to operate, and supports educational curriculums.
Software Development interns focus on developing engineering exercises for a virtual laboratory platform, which are accessed online. The purpose of these exercises is to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills, as if they were in a physical laboratory performing the same experiment.
The development of virtual exercises is done using a range of different software tools such LabVIEW, Python or C++. Interns can gain experience in both front-end and back-end development, and you can customize your internship to focus on areas of interest to you.
Interns are able to contribute fresh ideas, which can be implemented through traditional and/or emerging technologies. A range of topic areas are covered within the virtual labs, from introductory courses on electric circuits, to advanced courses on electromobility.
Tasks for remote interns can include:
- Studying experiments that are to be included in the virtual lab
- Developing and implementing virtual exercises
- Recording instructions/guidelines for virtual exercises, which can be used by students
As a remote intern, you’ll be guided by an experienced software developer. Your supervisor will be in regular contact to assist you with your progress and provide feedback/updates on project tasks.
