  • Have knowhow of firmware development and programming of microcontroller such as ARM, IOT

  • Understanding of communication protocol such as I2C, SPI, Bluetooth etc

  • Ability to read sensor datasheets and calibrate sensors accordingly

  • Participate in the entire application development lifecycle which involves going through the iterative processing of coding, testing, debugging etc.

  • Understanding of version control system such as GIT

Project details:

  • PCB/Schematic Design 

    • The student will be involved in generating schematic from current system. Converting the schematic to a PCB design with a specific dimension. The student will also be involved in sourcing and recommending replacement of components which will improve the overall system design and make it more efficient. 

  • Sensor Calibration/Placement

    • As part of the internship the student will also be involved in understanding the working of different sensors and its behavior under different environment conditions. The student will be involved in performing different experiments to develop better calibration strategies.

Working at
Hollbium

Hollbium - Better air, better food, better workplaces Hollbium makes indoor farming a natural part of any living and working environment for sustainable urban development and workplace well-being. We are passionate about the intersection of design, technology, and urban farming. In a strong movement for sustainable development and well-being, it is essential to contribute to sustainable urban development. Most of our population is living in urban areas with limited access to nature and fresh food. We bring micro-farms to where food is consumed and use unused wall space, for example, in your office. The Hollbium Loop combines sustainable food production with hydroponics and healthy biophilic design. Besides growing organic greens without soil, transportation or packaging, it is a multi-sensory experience (taste, light, cleaner air & scent) for increased wellbeing, comfort & creativity while stress is reduced in your team. The Loop offers early access to a new food experience that reduces emissions and waste while ensuring that harvest is unaffected by a shifting climate. We are always looking for the right people rather than the skills - get in touch!
