Indoor localisation

About this internship

Crownstone’s indoor localization engine currently leverages multiple classifiers to determine user position based on wireless signal data. Although the system is already deployed in various environments, performance can still be improved.

Your internship will focus on optimizing the current NN model and enhancing the processing pipeline, addressing practical issues such as noise, latency, confidence scoring, and prediction drift.

Your work will directly contribute to the next generation of Crownstone localisation engine running on edge devices like the Raspberry Pi.

What will you do and learn?

This internship uniquely combines applied research with direct improvements to a production-ready system.

You will:

  • Investigate and implement advanced preprocessing techniques for RF signal features.
  • Upgrade the current NN to a more robust, noise-resilient architecture.
  • Benchmark and compare performance with the existing classifiers.
  • Improve postprocessing strategies (e.g., smoothing, filtering, confidence measures).
  • Work closely with experienced engineers applying AI techniques to real-world IoT systems.
  • Gain insight into scalable ML workflows beyond pure experimentation.

About you

You do not need to be an expert yet.

Intellectual curiosity and a proactive mindset are key. 

Almende people

You are likely a great fit if you:

  • Are currently studying Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related field.
  • Are in the final phase of your bachelor’s or pursuing a master’s degree.
