Job description
At DAF, we develop software “in house” for the engine and vehicle controllers. The products developed within Embedded Engineering are applied on DAF trucks but also in the PACCAR brands Kenworth and Peterbilt. Through component sales our products are used by leading bus and coach manufacturers.
To support all our programs, projects and vehicle variants, DAF has a complex variant control process which supports engineering partially. In our engineering process we need to instrument the software with a default set of calibration parameters. Based on the testcases we need to be able to quickly switch variants and load them into the ECU under test.
This internship contains a proof of concept of an user friendly application which is able to quickly change calibration parameters based on vehicle variants and load them into the ECU.
This assignment includes:
- Identify stakeholders and the needs and wishes of every stakeholder;
- Study current way of variant handling and create a clear overview of the process flows;
- Determine implementation direction, design and planning;
- Implement front-end GUI application;
- Implement Back-end application;
- Implement flashing environment;
- Apply proof of concept on a “straight” forward real life example;
- Present your solution to DAF management.
Possible extension:
- Extend the assignment for a “complex” real life example;
- Extend the assignment to implement improvements in the change process of calibration sets.
