Intern - SW developer UI/UX

Job Description

Who we are at ThermoFisher Scientific?\nTransmission electronic microscopes are very sophisticated laboratory instruments widely used today. Software is critical to exploit all the potential of these microscopes, pushing the limits of current physical technologies. These tools and our software applications are used by scientists and engineers in life science, material sciences and semiconductor industry, indirectly affecting our life in many aspects. By contributing to the creation of this software, you might help developing better vaccines, new lighter and stronger materials, or more efficient semiconductors.\n\nAbout the job\nOur electronic microscopes have several detectors. These detectors consist of hardware and software components. During qualification in factory, setting up at customer site and even during regular use by the final user, issues can occur. To enable accurate issue diagnostic and resolution, we need to make available relevant information about the status and operation of the detector. This information needs to be collected and presented in an easy-to-use diagnostic (service) tool.\n\nDuring this assignment, you collaborate with our SW developers to ensure that the right diagnostic information is made available in a new service tool that you will help crafting. The main tasks are supporting the team in defining what information is required for diagnostics, how this information can be best presented to the user, and implement an UI to provide the user access to this information.\n\nLocation & division team\nWe are looking for an enthusiastic Intern - Software developer (UI/UX) for the Detectors and Acquisition IA&D SW development area in Eindhoven, Netherlands.
