Vflowtech Pte. Ltd. – IoT Engineering Intern

As an IoT Engineering Intern at VFlowTech, you will be working on developing IoT products and solutions for our energy-storage devices and smart grid. The work includes interfacing sensors with edge devices such as IoT gateways, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, etc, and data communication over WiFi, 4G, BLE to form a connected IoT network with a cloud server back-end. You will have following responsibilities:

● Analyze & understand project specifications for industrial applications.
● Program IoT firmware in Python/Arduino/Embedded C
● Work on modern communication technologies (WiFi, 4G, BLE, NB-IoT, LoRaWAN etc.)
● Test, debugging, document & troubleshoot IoT firmware, and embedded systems.
● Coordinate with the back-end software team to achieve hardware-software interface over HTTP/MQTT.
● Electronic product design and certification of the end-product.

Your mission

Our team will support the candidate by providing insight into the different types of IoT sensors and the interfacing protocols. We will also provide exposure to industrial projects and on-site deployment experience. Following is the learning outcome of this internship:

• Learn various type of sensor and equipment used in flow batteries
• Learn to develop cloud monitoring of energy storage devices
• Evaluating the best technical setup for our system, choosing the right frameworks and tools for our development.
• Learn to develop ready to market solution.
