Project description 

On the production floor of Melexis, microchips are being tested and calibrated on a whole series of parameters in  order to make sure only chips passing all necessary quality checks are being shipped to the customers. Our  engineers develop test solutions on our Automated Test Equipment (ATE), machines that integrate all systems  (power supplies, function generators, multimeters, oscilloscopes, data loggers, …) that are required to measure the  functionality of our devices. Training new hires on the ATE is an intensive process for which we are updating our  training curriculum that introduces all the features step-by-step. This includes both theory and practical exercises  on programming and hardware debugging. 

As an Intern you will get hands-on training, propose improvements and explore the implementation of those  improvements. 


Project goals

  • Get to know our ATE with the current training process and apply the practical exercises. 
  • Suggest improvements for the curriculum (order of topics, pace, exercises, ...). 
  • Implement the suggested improvements: design printed circuit boards (PCBs) for exercises, generate  example code. 
  • Enjoy hands-on engineering! 

Your profile

  • Student in a Master Electrical/Electronics Engineering program 

  • Programming knowledge (basic)

  •  Lab equipment (multimeter, oscilloscope, ...) knowledge (basic) 

  • Curious to push hardware to its limits 

  • Eager to combine hardware and software 

Duration & Location
