I'm currently looking for an intern to come play with my company's Linux-powered<br>
autonomous robot fleet this summer: Harvest Automation <<a href="http://www.harvestai.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.harvestai.com</a>><br>
is looking to give one bright individual some industrial experience that includes:<br>
<br>
* Working with actual robots, simulations, testers, operations people,<br>
and developers to help solve issues in the application, network,<br>
and operating environments.<br>
<br>
* Creating test plans, test cases, and conditions for testing of<br>
the robot software (both on actual hardware, running around in<br>
the real world, and in simulation) from information in specifications,<br>
feature descriptions, or bug-reports.<br>
<br>
* Creation of test cases that address software scenarios, system<br>
testing, regression testing, negative testing, error or defect<br>
retest, performance monitoring and usability<br>
<br>
* Reproducing and resolving software issues with the database,<br>
UI, or communication protocol<br>
<br>
* Implementing a software solution from a requirement<br>
description within the code base using the database, UI, or<br>
communication protocol<br>
<br>
* Updating test results and requirement descriptions in<br>
our issue-tracker<br>
<br>
* Assisting in system set-up and software installation<br>
<br>
* Assisting in the installation/configuration of re-creations<br>
of the software production environments<br>
<br>
We're in Billerica, MA (~14 miles south of Nashua).<br>
<br>
We're really hoping to find someone who's already got a reasonably<br>
good grasp on what software-development entails; my boss has been<br>
recruit from the college CS programs around Boston, and is expecting<br>
to find someone working on a Master's CS Degree; I suspect that<br>
we'd do well to open up the search a bit--that there's probably<br>
someone on the list either who knows someone in college or high school<br>
(or *whatever*) who's already savvy enough to have read some of<br>
the more interesting compsci literature on their own, spent some time<br>
hacking on open-source projects, and even has some code/patchsets<br>
associated with a github/launchpad/ohloh/openhub/sourceforge/whatever<br>
account that they could show along with trails through mailing lists<br>
and public bug-trackers..., or who _is_ such a person themselves.<br>
<br>
I'd like to hear from those people.<br>
<br>
Experience with C++ and Python are pluses (and if you're savvy enough<br>
to grok things metaclasses, that's probably a big plus). If you know<br>
C# or Java, that's OK too. You'll need to have some background<br>
somewhere in there.<br>
<br>
Knowing SQL is a plus.<br>
<br>
If you've ever programmed with a video game engine, that's a plus.<br>
<br>
Understanding of network architectures and how Wi-Fi actually works<br>
is a plus.<br>
