Your future mission
Melexis, a global supplier of micro-electronic semiconductor solutions, is actively exploring new technologies for digital health applications. We are seeking a motivated student to join our Innovation team and investigate microparticle (PM) monitoring in air using Melexis’ Time-Of-Flight sensor (ToF) technology. This can be a Master's thesis or an internship.
As an intern at Melexis, you will more specifically:
Review the state-of-the-art in microparticle monitoring using ToF sensors and other sensor technologies.
Construct a test bench for evaluating the performance of PM sensors (precision, sensitivity, dynamic range).
Benchmark existing commercial solutions for PM monitoring.
Design and develop a PM sensor based on Melexis' ToF sensors for the accurate and real-time monitoring of the ambient air quality.
Conduct extensive testing and characterization of the air sensor prototype.
Expected results
- Comprehensive reports documenting the research findings, design approach, test results, and recommendations for future development
- A benchmark evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of Melexis technology compared to the competition
- A working prototype of a PM sensor
Requirements
Master’s degree in a relevant field such as Optics or Physics
Good knowledge of optical sensor technologies and in particular of ToF sensors
Excellent programming skills such as embedded systems, image processing, and data analysis
Hands-on experience developing test equipment (hardware and software)
