VFlowTech (VFT) is reinventing energy storage with Vanadium redox flow technology, with a vision to develop the cheapest and most scalable Vanadium redox flow batteries in the world. VFT storage solution has an expected life span of 25 years and is proven to be one of the safest and most environmentally friendly battery technologies. VFT founders have deep experience in the renewable space, and Vanadium redox flow technology. VFT is a spin-off of the CleanTech lab of Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, and benefits from unique IP arising from many years of intensive research at NTU.
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.
