INQUIRIES
IMS offers dynamic opportunities for exceptional interns to participate in meaningful and challenging work at our St. Louis headquarters.
Internship terms are currently only offered to bachelor's degree or higher level students. Internship positions are offered during the Fall, Spring and Summer semesters. Although each session has a submission deadline, we are always accepting applications for future terms.
FALL 2020 OPPORTUNITIES
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Project scope: Aid Impossible Sensing in developing basic user interfaces for instrument control that can be used for internal testing and/or be delivered to clients. UI should synchronize various hardware components (e.g. laser, detector), read out instrument telemetry data, and allow for basic user control of operational parameters. UI should be readily adaptable to control different Impossible instruments depending on the application.
Number of students: 1
Student time commitment and duration: 10-15hrs/week; 1 semester
Suggested deliverables: Functional UI that has been successfully tested using Impossible instruments.
Pre-requisites: Junior or Senior; experience in UI development and/or hardware control; basic knowledge of interfacing with FPGA and MCU; basic understanding of communication interfaces (USB, Ethernet, RS-232, etc.); proficiency in scientific programming language (e.g. Python, MATLAB, etc.); preferably has lab or research experience
