Interns for Electronic Hardware/Software Development for GSM Controlled Devices
Interns for Electronic Hardware/ Software Development for GSM Controlled Devices – MCA/ B.Tech Intern Training with GVC
We are looking for interns for six months on site training for MCA 4th sem and B Tech 8th students (who need six months full time industrial training like students of PTU)
About GVC
We are an electronics design company and engaged in development of various devices. We operate from Amity Innovation Incubator, Amity University Campus, Sector 125, Noida. Recently we received a seed fund of 20 Lacs from a govt deptt to work on some new innovative technologies including GSM and TCP/IP enabled street lights, traffic signals, parking counters and security systems.
What is embedded
We are working on software that goes inside hardware.
In computer software user key in data from key board (or bar code scanner) and see results on screen (or may be printer) and most of the users are trained for using the software/package.
In embedded software there are input and output however they many not look like keypad or display screen.
Input may be a temperature sensor and output is switching of on/off compressor and logic include switching on compressor when temperature is 1 degree higher and switching off compressor when it is 1 degree lower than then desired temperature. Plus there are logic for changing fan speed, adjusting set temperature after some time and even switching off device in case of high or low voltage and display of current room temperature. This is what you see in a window air con with remote control. What you may not know is that it has a small tiny size computer inside which runs a program written in ‘C’ language.
