Intern in Embedded Software Development & FPGA (M/W)

Join ABSOLUT SENSING and help shape the future of climate monitoring technologies

At ABSOLUT SENSING, we develop key technologies needed to monitor, understand, and ultimately predict climate change. Through projects that combine technological innovation and environmental impact, we offer a dynamic work environment where every contribution matters.

Our primary mission :

To reduce global methane emissions through a satellite monitoring service accessible to regulators and emitters worldwide.

What we offer :

A stimulating technical challenge

Joining ABSOLUT SENSING means working on complex and innovative projects to develop solutions that address the urgent challenges of global warming. Here, every technological breakthrough has a measurable impact in protecting our planet.

Versatility and personal impact

You will have the opportunity to explore diverse challenges, beyond traditional skill silos. Curiosity and adaptability are valued—being a ‘jack-of-all-trades’ is part of our team’s DNA.

A culture of the best idea

Here, it’s not about hierarchy or status, but the strength of ideas. The best solution wins, no matter who brought it to the table that’s how we move forward together.

An agile and accessible environment

We believe in a streamlined organization, short cycles, and fluid interactions. This setup fosters responsiveness and constructive feedback, enabling us to quickly adapt to the critical needs of our mission.

A committed and caring team

You’ll join a close-knit team united by a shared mission that goes beyond individual interests: combining technical excellence with human ethics in a collaborative setting. Everyone can realize their full potential, free from ego or unnecessary barriers, working together toward a single goal: reducing methane emissions, anticipating extreme events, and protecting the most at risk populations.

Why join us?

At ABSOLUT SENSING, every idea counts, and every project makes an impact. Join us to advance science and technology while fighting climate change. Together, we are building a sustainable future.

As part of Absolut Sensing’s Dev ATmOS team, you will participate in the development of next-generation embedded solutions integrating FPGA technologies and advanced hardware architectures.

You will work directly with engineers specialising in electronics and embedded software.

This internship will offer you complete immersion in a demanding technical environment within a group that currently operates a satellite in orbit and is launching a microsat constellation programme.

Objectives:

• FPGA development: Design and implementation of logic blocks (VHDL), functional verification, then integration on Xilinx target.
• Embedded software development: Development of drivers and low-level layers, implementation of FPGA processor communications (SPI, AXI, UART, etc.), development on real-time systems, embedded Linux.
• Based on code developed on a prototyped simulation platform, porting to an EQM-type test environment (qualification model) to prepare for the qualification campaign.
• Support for the test campaign in a thermal vacuum environment.
• Support for writing the SRD SW for the embedded software.

Required profiles:

Students in their final or penultimate year of study in:

• digital electronics/FPGA,
• embedded systems,
• industrial IT

Skills:

• Solid foundation in FPGA
• Environment: Linux
• Languages: C, Python/MicroPython, Rust
• Tools: Github
• Ability to analyse and solve problems.
• Good communication skills for collaborating in cross-functional teams.

Research shows that women or people belonging to minorities often don’t apply to roles they don’t feel they match 100% of the requirements.
If this position is interesting to you, we encourage you to apply even if not a perfect match! We are looking for real people, not robots!
