The Azurion X-Ray scanners developed by Philips are used all around the world to diagnose and treat patients for cardiovascular and neurological diseases. There are currently more than 8000 systems used in hospitals globally.
Obviously, the development of such complex systems involves a lot of disciplines, and one major discipline is software development. We develop software on several different levels: Embedded software on Linux based hardware components, c++ control software on Windows PCs, C# .Net software for control software and for test software and web-based applications, mostly for tool applications.
As an intern you will get a specific assignment, tailored to your skills, experience and interests. The assignment can be in all of the above-mentioned software levels. A large part of each assignment will be research work to gather user requirements and to define alternative solutions to challenges. Typically, you will create a prototype or proof of concept implementation to back up your research. Presenting your progress and your results to a large team of professional software developers in Philips is also required and gives you the opportunity to practice.
