Job Description
Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. is the world leader in serving science, with annual revenue exceeding $40 billion. Our Mission is to enable our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer. Whether our customers are accelerating life sciences research, solving sophisticated analytical challenges, improving patient diagnostics and therapies or growing efficiency in their laboratories, we are here to support them. Our distributed team of more than 100,000 colleagues delivers an outstanding combination of innovative technologies.
One of these is Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM). TEM is a high-resolution imaging method where a beam of electrons passes through a thin sample to create an image. The electron beam's interaction with the sample is influenced by its thickness, density, composition, and sometimes crystallinity. The transmitted electrons generate contrast in the image, allowing TEM to capture sub-nanometer, and in some cases, atomic-level resolution images.
Since the microscope operates at nearly the atomic level, even the smallest vibrations can distort the image. To prevent this, microscopes include the Integrated Vibration Isolation System (IVIS), which minimizes sensitivity to low-frequency floor vibrations. By actively damping these disturbances, IVIS helps with ensuring high-quality imaging.
Internship position
Join our innovative team as a software development intern, where you'll develop a brand-new software tool to improve and support operations related to IVIS, optimizing production and troubleshooting processes.
- Working with the latest .NET/C# version and the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) UI framework, you’ll be creating a powerful new tool that replaces a legacy one that has been built in C++.
- This new tool will play a crucial role not only in enabling testing and diagnostics of IVIS but also in paving the way for future software tools, driving further innovation and development.
- As an intern you will have the opportunity to follow the complete cycle in development of sophisticated systems. You will actively participate in Agile Scrum rituals such as sprint planning, daily stand-up meetings, sprint reviews, etc.
Qualifications:
We encourage candidates with the following qualifications to apply:
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor degree in Computer Science, System Engineering, or equivalent.
- Knowledge, or willingness to learn, .NET/C# and WPF.
- Eagerness to learn, take initiative, have a pro-active attitude.
- Interest in, or willingness to learn, software engineering practices and software development tools (Git, Jenkins, etc.).
- Good level of spoken and written English.
