Embedded Systems Design Internship in Vellore, Katpadi & Ranipet

Automotive embedded systems are the small computers, called ECUs, that control almost everything in a modern vehicle – engine, brakes, airbags, lights, dashboard and infotainment. Each ECU runs C code on a microcontroller and talks to other ECUs over in-vehicle networks such as CAN, LIN and FlexRay.

Working through Automotive Embedded Systems, you will learn to write, compile and debug embedded C programs using pointers, structures, GCC, libraries and makefiles, program the ARM7 LPC2148 for GPIO, timers, PLL and hardware such as LCDs, motors, relays and keypads and use UART, SPI, I2C and CAN, and wireless modules such as Bluetooth, GSM, GPS, RFID and ZigBee.

You will work with Embedded C and GNU GCC, Makefiles and libraries and ARM7 LPC2148 microcontroller; the Course on Automotive Systems, Validation & Production Workflow programme includes modules such as Overview of Automotive Systems, In-Vehicle Communication Basics and Vehicle Diagnostics Basics.

Roles to aim for include Automotive Embedded Software Engineer – writes and tests C code for vehicle ECUs and ECU Validation / Test Engineer – tests ECU functions against requirements using tools such as CANoe. Basic knowledge of digital electronics helps. C programming is taught from the start in the 160-hour course, so prior coding is useful but not required.
