Internship Flutter on Embedded Linux with Hardware Acceleration

Benefits

Additional Information

As an intern, you will explore the feasibility of running Flutter on i.MX6 and i.MX8 based embedded Linux platforms with hardware acceleration. The goal of this internship is to enable modern user interfaces on constrained embedded devices by integrating Flutter with different Linux graphics stacks. You will work at the intersection of embedded systems, graphics pipelines and modern UI frameworks, where standard solutions are rarely available. Your main responsibilities include: Setting up and configuring embedded Linux environments for i.MX6 and i.MX8 platforms Integrating and evaluating different graphics stacks such as Framebuffer, Xorg, Wayland or Android Building custom Debian based Linux images with Flutter runtime support Enabling and configuring open source GPU drivers and hardware acceleration Investigating Flutter engine compatibility with embedded Linux environments Deploying and validating a minimal Flutter application, benchmarking performance and identifying optimization opportunities You are an inquisitive and technically driven student who enjoys working close to the hardware while exploring modern software frameworks. You are motivated by complex engineering challenges and are eager to deepen your knowledge of Linux internals and graphics systems. You bring: A relevant educational background in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or Mechatronics Solid knowledge of Linux and experience working with the Linux command line Basic understanding of embedded systems and ARM based platforms Familiarity with graphics concepts such as Framebuffer, OpenGL/EGL or GPU acceleration Interest in Flutter or modern UI frameworks, prior experience is considered a plus A structured and analytical mindset, with the ability to investigate, experiment and document findings This internship offers a rare opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology where modern UI frameworks meet embedded Linux systems. You will tackle challenges that are far from plug-and-play and gain hands-on experience in areas that few developers encounter, combining low-level system engineering with high-level application development in an innovative international environment. At Lely, we offer you an educational and dynamic internship experience at one of the most innovative organizations in the Netherlands. You'll become part of a driven team and have plenty of opportunities to further develop your talents.
