  1. Hilscher's unique selling point is a comprehensive portfolio of solutions for fieldbuses and Real-Time Ethernet and IO-Link, offering a one-stop shop for hardware and software protocol stacks. Hilscher offers netX technology for device manufacturers, including development services and customized module manufacturing.
  2. Hilscher CIFX/COMX components require such device drivers as well. Hilscher offers a series of device drivers for a wide variety of operating systems. All Hilscher drivers have a standard user interface (CIFX-API) and are based on a C toolkit also usable for independent device driver development.

You will not be on your own at our company but will work as part of a team of experienced engineers who will support you in your tasks. We currently employ a total of 15 students in various departments. In addition, we work very closely with the Rhein-Main University, Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences and Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, enabling us always to tailor the work of our students at Hilscher to meet the current course requirements.

Fields of study

Are you currently studying for a degree in one of the following fields of study? Then, you are in exactly the right place at our company.

  • Electronics
    • Automation technology
    • Communication and information technology
    • Microelectronics
    • Robotics
    • Embedded systems
  • Information technology
    • Data science
    • IT security

As we pass on considerable knowledge to our students while they are still studying for their degrees, provide them with an in-depth insight into our technologies, and generally invest considerable time in their development, we place a great deal of importance on offering our students a secure job once they have completed their studies.

This is also confirmed by the number of students who are offered a job.

Practical content

We offer interesting assignments in a variety of disciplines.

Hardware design

Our products are created in our in-house hardware development department. Our employees create the design and put together the circuit board layout. Prototypes are produced, thoroughly tested and then handed over to series production in co-operation with our in-house production.

Topics: circuit design, board layout, test hardware development, power supply, high frequency circuitry and memory interface

Embedded systems

Sensors, actuators, controls and IPCs can be equipped with Hilscher’s own network controllers with embedded ARM Cortex with the help of Industrial Ethernet and fieldbus protocols. We are working on new functions for communication, monitoring, diagnostics and on applications, such as controls or regulation. This means that considerable development is carried out on the platform itself and combined with a great many working fields.

Hilscher Cifx Driver

Topics: Industrial Ethernet: TSN, PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP | fieldbuses: PROFIBUS, CANopen | Industrial IOT: OPC UA, MQTT | IO-Link | converters | FreeRTOS

Programming languages: C/C++, Python

Hilscher Cifx Device Driver

OS / Drivers / Tools

Tools must be developed for programming and suitable drivers developed for operating systems to enable our hardware to be used. This also includes developing operating systems with real-time capability. Hilscher also develops opportunities for network diagnostics and monitoring. This results in diversity while also offering significant challenges.

Topics: eclipse derivative 'netX Studio', driver development, build tool development, use of different Linux distributions and cross compiling

Hilscher Universal Driver

Programming languages: C/C++, C#/.NET, JavaScript, HTML

Web Front- and Backend

Alongside communication interfaces, our devices also offer web-based graphic user interfaces. These enable diagnostics data of the industrial communication infrastructure to be monitored. Therefore, the backend as well as the frontend have to be programmed, to enable network data to be prepared and supplied to the user.

Topics: web, front and backend development, databases, links to the cloud, app development, edge computing and container development.

Programming languages: C/C++, C#/.NET, JavaScript + HTML, TypeScript, Python
