Open Source Internships
At Antmicro we firmly believe that all science, especially computer science, should be open. We support students and young academics who share our passion for new technologies and open source.
We encourage smart and ambitious topics that will not just harness, but actively contribute to open standards to create scalable and reproducible solutions. Antmicro endorses the idea of open science.
Our diversified internship offer caters for the needs of full blown computers science and electronics engineers-to-be but also those of you who are not as technologically proficient yet still interested in the domain of open source high tech.
Paid internships
Antmicro offers paid internship programs to full-time students. The internship programs are meant primarily for students of computer science, electronics, automatics, robotics and related fields. The non-engineering internships are offered to students of English studies, International relations, Marketing, etc.
Additionally, if our interns decide to write their diploma papers based on open source technologies supported by Antmicro, they are offered various forms of help, including:
Technologies
Access to the technologies Antmicro works with on a regular basis
Technical help
Support of our engineers
Materials
Purchasing of materials needed to build a prototype which might be a part of the diploma thesis
Equipment
Needed for rapid prototyping of electronic devices
Lab
Access to a 3D printer, oscilloscopes, logic analysers, or RF measuring tools
The most capable students who complete their diploma paper in cooperation with Antmicro are offered a graduation scholarship.

Featured BSc and MSc theses completed with Antmicro
SDI-to-MIPI bridge
The open source SDI-to-MIPI bridge built as part of Antmicro’s internship program allows SDI-based systems to harness the capabilities of the most popular embedded AI platforms, which mostly support MIPI CSI. It also overcomes the issue of short distances at which MIPI CSI-2 devices can be connected to the system, as it enables the use of a coaxial cable to achieve much longer connections. This feature is crucial in industrial environments where mounting the camera directly on the processing unit is not enough for the device to operate effectively.
Read MoreFast and Versatile DMA
This project was carried out in response to the lack of a portable & vendor-neutral DMA controller. It was designed using the flexible Chisel HDL and it has turned out to be an open, cross-platform and easily adaptable DMA IP that has given us and other users a lot of engineering freedom. We have actually already employed it in some of our other projects, e.g. for running a Linux GUI on an FPGA SoC platform.

Another project done by an Antmicro intern involved developing the Open Source Jetson TX2 Platform, which supports NVIDIA Jetson TX1/TX2/TX2i modules and provides users with access to the majority of available high-speed interfaces. The platform has a modular design and features a high-speed connector which allows it to be extended with an additional board, enabling any MIPI-CSI camera to be connected to the module.
