Job Description: Internship – Computer Science – Media Path Simulation
Department: R&D, Wide Format Printers (Colorado Roll2Roll & Arizona Flatbed)
Responsibilities:
As a Software Engineer intern, you will contribute to the development of a software simulation for media path functionality in Canon’s Wide Format printers. Your work will involve:
• Updating the media path simulation view: This includes adapting the simulation to reflect the specifics of the currently developed printer model.
• Combining functionalities: You will integrate functionalities from existing simulators for previous printer models into a single, comprehensive simulation.
• Implementing new functionalities: The development of additional functionalities will be detailed under a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).
Simulation Environment:
• The development process utilizes various levels of simulation, with the Software In Loop (SIL) simulation being the initial stage.
• The SIL simulation provides support for low-level device behavior and allows for functional behavior implementation for verification.
• Logging and graphical visualizations are crucial for understanding the simulated behavior and analyzing device performance.
Team Collaboration:
You will be part of the Media Handling function, a multidisciplinary team comprising Functional Designers, Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, and Software Engineers. The team currently has 3 software engineers, with the project involving 24 software engineers in total.
Technical Skills:
The internship requires proficiency in the following areas:
• C++: Core programming language used for the simulation development.
• UML: Used for modeling and documenting the software design.
• Scrum: Agile development methodology used for project management.
• XML & XSL: Used for data representation and transformation within the simulation.
• Eclipse: Integrated Development Environment (IDE) used for software development.
This internship offers a valuable opportunity to gain experience in the development of complex software simulations for high-tech printing equipment. You will work alongside experienced engineers and contribute to a challenging and rewarding project within a global company.
