John Cockerill has been providing its expertise to the defense industry for 200 years. Today, John Cockerill Defense offers Cockerill® modular gun turrets from 25 to 120 mm caliber, Arquus® high-mobility vehicles, technical and tactical training on these systems, and Agueris simulators.Your Mission:The Phabrics SX2 is a high-precision interferometric/optical surface analyser that currently can only be operated through the manufacturer's proprietary software. The aim of the project is to create a software driver and communication interface that allows the SX2 to be fully controlled, monitored and integrated into the existing automated test system.During your internship, you will:
Analyse the communication protocols offered by the instrument
Implement a low-level driver and a high-level API that expose the essential functions - configuration, measurement start/stop, data acquisition, error handling.
Integrate the API into the current test-bench software
Validate the solution on calibrated samples, comparing latency, throughput and reliability with the vendor's software.
Document the work in a master-thesis report including design rationale, experimental results and future extensions.
Subject discussed:
Embedded systems communication - analysis of real time constraints for high precision optical instruments.
Low level driver development - implementation of robust USB 3.0 and Ethernet drivers with security extensions.
Modular software architecture - creation of a reusable, extensible API that can accommodate future instruments (e.g., SX3).
Verification methodology - definition of a comprehensive validation plan (performance, reliability, compliance).
Your Profile:
Student in a master's degree education level in electronic
Minimum level B2 in French and English
Available for at least of 2-3 months
Your Internal Support:During this internship, you will be supported by the electronic R&D department and the electronic industrialization and prototyping department of John Cockerill Defense. The internal supervisors will be:
