Jobs - M.Sc. Graduate students / Afstudeerders
Science and Industry - the best of both worlds
The Embedded Systems Institute (ESI) specializes in scientific research and
industrial innovation in the field of high-tech embedded systems. ESI was
founded by Philips, ASML, Océ-Technologies, and TNO, in cooperation with Delft
University of Technology, Eindhoven University of Technology, and the University
of Twente. What sets ESI apart is its focus on scientific research with a high
industrial relevance. Projects are ongoing with ASML, Philips Healthcare, NXP
Semiconductors, Océ-Technologies, Thales, FEI Company, and Vanderlande
Industries, all world-leaders in their fields.
The research projects are carried out by multidisciplinary project teams.
These teams consist of ESI Research Fellows and experts and researchers from the
industrial partners and university research groups.
Regularly these projects have opportunities for graduate
students (afstudeerders) studying at one of the Dutch universities or
polytechnics (hogescholen). The students will do the graduation work at the
premises of either the academic partner or the industrial partner of the
project. We are looking for graduate students in computer science, electrical
and mechanical engineering, as well as other relevant fields that can spend
full-time on their graduate project.
MODEST
Multi-disciplinary, model-based design methods constitute a sound scientific
foundation for making products and their development process more effective,
more efficient and more responsive to societal needs.
The application of models implies a sharp reduction in the number of necessary
physical prototypes, thereby accelerating the develop0ment process and
simultaneously reducing the use of resources. Another good example of the
advantages of model-based design is the optimal use of available energy during
the process of printing through which the equipment becomes more energy savvy.
Visualization of a simulated printer engineThe jobs focuses on making
visualizations a printer engine, coupled to a simulation environment. One
earlier example is shown in the picture below.
Together with the Océ, ESI and TU/e researchers, you will define, specify and
implement the visualizations that will facilitate the interpretation of the
simulation results.
There are several tasks for one or more students:
Storing results and playing them back
Currently the visualization is only connected to the actual (interactive)
simulation. There is need to be able to rewind the simulation to examine what
happened in a specific time period in more detail.
Storing the interaction and playing it back
Recording the interactions sent to the simulation and providing a
possibility to play back can assist testers in specifying test scenarios.
Using the visualization for the timing design environment
In order to get a more unified view on the device during the various stages
of the development, the current visualization method must be changed and data must be converted to the required representation. Thus the
current paper path visualization can be used as the paper path visualization for
the timing design environment.
Using data from the real device for the visualization
Visualizing logged data from the actual device after a run or even using device
data during a run allows examining aspects of the device which are not (easily)
visible just by looking at the device. Furthermore, examining a log file of a
test run allows rewinding and re-examining complex interactions between
components.
Value history visualization
When examining exact values of part properties, an overview of the value change
over time is also useful. Integrate the information about the values of these
parts with the current visualization in a more interactive way.
Required profile:
The student should meet the corresponding set of requirements:
- The candidate should have fulfilled all the other obligations for the
study and be full-time available for the terminal project (afstudeeropdracht).
- The candidate will work at least 4 days per week at Océ in Venlo
- The candidate must have an academic coach (ESI / Océ can assist in
finding an academic coach)
