Does redesigning algorithms from the ground up excite you? Do you want to spend your summer being a part of revolutionising the agriculture industry?
What You Will Do
As a GNC Engineer Intern with Trimble Agriculture, you will be joining the core development team for these systems. GNC stands for guidance, navigation, and controls, and in this internship you will be developing/maintaining core algorithms for steering/automating agricultural vehicles (tractors, harvesters, combines, sprayers, etc.) using MATLAB/Simulink or ROS/C/C++ to model/develop/maintain the algorithms, analyzing and tweaking vehicle performance, and integrating functionality into releasable products.
This will see you doing some (or all) of the following :
Design, development, and productisation of state estimation and/or control algorithms.
Working with Matlab/Simulink and model-based design (MBD).
Utilising your experience with sensor fusion and filter design (UKF, EKF) for odometry/pose estimation.
Development, characterisation, and validation of non-linear vehicle dynamics plant models.
Deploying and profiling algorithm performance on real-time hardware/operating systems.
Defining system/software architecture.
Foster ongoing testing and testability in building quality products.
What Skills & Experience You Should Bring :
GNC algorithm development experience for dynamic physical systems (ground vehicles).
Proficient with Matlab & Simulink and/or C++ & ROS ecosystem.
Familiar with C/C++ programming languages and compilation process.
Experience with test, verification, validation, and productisation of algorithms.
Experience with requirements decomposition and management tools.
What Skills & Experience You Could Bring :
Practical estimation experience, specifically in the Agriculture industry, including on-ground experience with Tractors, Combines, Harvesters, etc.
Proficiency in production-grade C/C++ software development.
HIL and SIL testing.
Simulink auto-code generation.
GNSS+IMU based navigation.
Autonomous/Semi-autonomous vehicle control.
Experience with Systems Identification, SimMechanics, Simscape, and Robotics Toolboxes.
Safety-critical software development and certification.
Missile, ship, submarine, or autonomous vehicle guidance, navigation & control background.
Advanced degrees are highly desirable.
Our internships are designed to prepare you for your career journey, while growing as a professional through lunch and learns, team-building activities, and social networking events with other interns.
Join Trimble's community to have a global impact where we value you, your experience, and your skills to propel your career forward.
