Job Description
Embedded Software Intern Role
About the Role
We are seeking a motivated and technically curious summer intern to join our team in developing QEMU support for Wind River’s VxWorks. This internship offers a hands-on opportunity to work at the intersection of virtualization, embedded systems, and real-time operating systems (RTOS), contributing to the enablement of automotive-grade simulation environments.
Key Responsibilities
As an intern, you will:
- Extend QEMU by adding support for a new board specification tailored for VxWorks
- Design and implement virtual memory layout consistent with the target hardware architecture and RTOS requirements.
- Develop virtual serial port support to enable console I/O and debugging capabilities within QEMU.
- Integrate and validate the QEMU model by running a real-world VxWorks binary application.
- Document your work and present a demo showcasing the simulation of a simple RTOS application in QEMU.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the internship, you will:
- Gain experience in low-level system modeling and virtualization.
- Understand the basic architecture and boot flow of VxWorks.
- Learn how to simulate embedded platforms using QEMU.
- Develop skills in debugging and validating real-time systems in virtual environments.
Qualifications
Required:
- Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
- Familiarity with C/C++ and Linux development environments.
- Basic understanding of operating systems and virtualization concepts.
- Interest in embedded systems and automotive software.
Preferred:
- Experience with QEMU or other hardware emulators.
- Exposure to RTOS concepts or VxWorks.
- Knowledge of serial communication protocols and memory mapping.
