Internship Python Trace Tool Developer (f/m/d)

Job Overview
We are looking for a motivated and skilled intern to support the development of a lightweight trace tool in Python. This tool will be used to capture and forward runtime data via standard I/O pipes in a Bash environment, store the data in files, and provide a reusable Python library for integration into other projects.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement a Python-based trace tool capable of:
• Reading and forwarding data via stdin/stdout pipes in Bash.
• Persisting trace data to structured files (e.g., JSON, CSV, or custom format).
• Develop a modular Python library that can be imported and used by other developers.
• Ensure the tool is robust, well-documented, and easy to integrate.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to understand requirements and validate functionality.
• Write unit tests and maintain code quality standards.

Requirements

• Solid understanding of Python programming.
• Familiarity with Bash scripting and inter-process communication via pipes.
• Experience with file I/O and data serialization in Python.
• Ability to write clean, modular, and well-documented code.
• Good communication skills and ability to work independently.

Nice To Have

• Experience with logging or tracing frameworks.
• Knowledge of software development best practices and version control (e.g., Git).
• Exposure to embedded systems or low-level data tracing.
