Intern - Low Cost BLE Digital Implementation

<h3>Job Description</h3><p>M.Sc. thesis: Design and Implementation of an ultra low cost Bluetooth Low Energy digital core for wireless communications</p><p>Description:<br/> The project aims to design and implement a customized implementation of a BLE device for wireless communications. The goal is to create an ultra low cost (i.e. very small) solution by limiting the BLE device modes and functionality. The challenge of the assignment will be to study the BLE protocol, carve out a minimal functionality set and create a very efficient Hardware based solution.<br/> The implementation will focus primarily on the digital HW design for MAC, the Radio PHY is a given.</p><p>An initial plan is:<br/> 1.Familiarization with BLE protocol: 2 weeks<br/> 2.Define minimal functionality required: 2 weeks<br/> 3.Create HW design specifications for implementation: 1 month<br/> 4.Design implementation and simulations: 3 month<br/> 5.Thesis writeup: 1 month</p><h3>Qualifications</h3><p>-Good understanding of digital design and hardware description languages (e.g., Verilog, VHDL, etc.)<br/> -Good understanding of wireless protocols</p><p>Optional skills<br/> -Good embedded programming skills using C/C++</p><h3>Additional Information</h3><p>Location options:<br/> •Den Bosch, Netherlands<br/> •Athens, Greece<br/> •Patras, Greece</p><p>Duration<br/> 6 months</p><p>Renesas is an embedded semiconductor solution provider driven by its Purpose ‘<strong>To Make Our Lives Easier</strong>.’ As the industry’s leading expert in embedded processing with unmatched quality and system-level know-how, we have evolved to provide scalable and comprehensive semiconductor solutions for automotive, industrial, infrastructure, and IoT industries based on the broadest product portfolio, including High Performance Computing, Embedded Processing, Analog &amp; Connectivity, and Power.<br/>  <br/> With a diverse team of over 21,000 professionals in more than 30 countries, we continue to expand our boundaries to offer enhanced user experiences through digitalization and usher into a new era of innovation.
