MSc Thesis on Microprocessor-Based Control and Monitoring of Solid State Fermentation (for MSc students only))

We are seeking a motivated MSc student with a passion for electronics,
programming, and biotechnology to join our team. The internship focuses
on designing and implementing control systems using Arduino, Raspberry
Pi, and other microprocessors to monitor and optimize solid-state
fermentation processes.

**Luya**

Organic, plant-based and zero additives! This is Luya,
the new treat made from okara and chickpeas. Traditionally fermented and
pure inspiration for your kitchen.

Luya Foods was founded in
2021 with a clear mission: We want to leave the current hype around meat
copies behind and create a new, innovative category of plant-based
alternatives to meat that are delicious, juicy and natural. Why? Because
we are convinced that we need to change the way we eat and use our
resources today to save our planet.

**duration**: 6 months.
**salary**: we do not offer financial compensation for this opportunity.

• Design and develop sensor interfaces (temperature, humidity, pH, etc.) to collect real-time data from fermentation systems.
• Program microcontrollers (Arduino, Raspberry Pi) to automate data acquisition and control environmental conditions.
• Analyze data to gain insights into fermentation dynamics and optimize process parameters.
• Collaborate with bioprocess engineers to integrate sensors and actuators for precise control.

• Knowledge of Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or other microprocessor platforms.
• Experience with sensors, actuators, and data acquisition.
• Basic programming skills in Python, C++, or similar languages.

• Interest in biotechnology and fermentation processes.

• This is a hands-on role that offers the chance to work at the intersection
  of electronics, programming, and biotechnology. Join us to gain valuable
  experience in an innovative field!

We believe that diversity is critical to our success

We aim to create a workplace in which everyone can thrive and reach their
full potential.We believe that having an open and inclusive culture and a
team with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives is key to
achieving our goals and creating the most delicious plant-based meat
alternatives.

We encourage you not to include any pictures or personal information (e.g. birthdate) in your application. All we look at is your motivation and professional
experience.

If it sounds like we are a potentially good fit for you, please submit a motivation letter, your CV and your scholar history/grades via luyafoods.join.com. We are looking forward to hearing
from you.

Unfortunatelly, at this point of our history, Luya cannot sponsor visa-applications for Non-EU/EFTA Nationals.
