MPC Data offers an excellent working environment with great opportunities to work alongside some of the brightest embedded software engineers in the business.
Student Engineer Placements
MPC Data Limited offer several Student Engineer placement positions each year to students currently doing computing systems courses with a high degree of embedded specialism and seeking to expand their academic experience with a year in industry.
The placements are based at our Trowbridge, Wiltshire offices and typically last 12 months, with start and end dates in the Summer.
Student Engineers work alongside our permanent Software Engineers and take on responsibilities for technical software development in our project teams.  By the end of their year with MPC Data, Student Engineers can expect to have made valuable technical contributions to several projects, and possibly to have managed one or more of our smaller projects.
MPC Data typically work on 'enabling' software for embedded devices, so Student Engineers can gain exposure to bringing-up software on new hardware and developing board-support packages for Embedded Linux, Embedded Windows or other operating systems in a professional, commercial environment.
Throughout their time with MPC Data, Student Engineers are supported by MPC Data's internal project management system, and by a mentoring system, where the Student Engineer can get support outside of their immediate project needs.
Over the years that MPC Data have been running our Student Engineer scheme, over 20 Student Engineers from previous years have re-joined as permanent employees after completing their degree course.
See http://www.mpcdata.com/about-us/ for an introduction to the sort of projects with which MPC Data are involved.
