his internship is part of the 4-year-long Blue City project from Innosuisse.

The Blue City Project is a transdisciplinary consortium aiming to map a city’s multi-layered, interconnected network of flows (traffic, waste, energy, …) and create a responsive Urban Digital Twin for the digitally transformed, post-pandemic world. 

A Digital Twin (DT) is a digital representation of a real-world entity or system. It reflects a single physical object, process, organisation, person, or other abstraction. DT enables true two-way communication between the physical and the digital world. Combined with Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning technology, a Digital twin platform will assist evidence-based, collective decisions to improve urban well-being, sustainability, resilience, and maximize ecological value.

In the context of this internship, we aim at implementing a prototype of secure data sharing between digital twins. We will use real case data models from Blue City actors. It implies the following activities:

• Take over the security framework from past internships 
• Analyze cross-organization use cases with our partner ecosystem
• Implement the prototype for selected use cases
• Extend and adapt the security framework based on learnings.

• A dynamic work and collaborative environment with a highly motivated multi-cultural and multiples international sites team
• Personal development through training and coaching
• A flat hierarchy and a culture of collaboration across all disciplines
• The chance to make a difference in peoples’ life by building innovative solutions
• High innovation and research backed up by collaboration with universities like EPFL
• Various internal coding events (Hackathon, Brownbags), see our technical blog
• Monthly After-Works organized per locations
• Good life balance (41 working hours per week and possibility to work 2 days per week from home.

• Software development: Python
• Interest for semantic interoperability and data models
• Interest for security: Zero-Trust, service mesh security (istio, kuma, …)
• Interest for distributed systems, cloud (Azure, AWS) and devops technologies (Docker, Kubernetes, K3s)
