Internship Digital Network Traffic Analyzer - MR

Your role:

The Philips MRI system has a central scan control computer with a real-time operating system. The scan control computer controls four subsystems via individual optical links: Transmit chain link, Receive Chain link, Gradient Chain link, and Reconstructor Link. When errors occur, the Digital Network Traffic Analyzer helps diagnose the problem.

• Work on a complex product in a complex organization.
• Acquire an in-depth understanding of the real-time control aspects of MR hardware and network communication protocols.
• Translate ‘vague’ ideas into smart requirements.
• Build prototypes to validate requirements.
• Develop an FPGA application on existing hardware with an embedded processor and Python.
• Learn to use new tools such as Vivado, Matlab, Ruby, Python, and Questasim.
• Plan the project in agreement with stakeholders.
• Implement a prototype solution on an FPGA platform with an embedded software user interface.
• Document the project.

You're the right fit if:

• You are a curious and motivated Master or Bachelor student in Computer Sciences or Electrical Engineering.
• You are eager to learn, have good listening skills, are self-motivated, and open-minded.
• You have experience with VHDL, FPGA programming, and script programming (e.g., Python).
• You possess English language skills.
