Internship / Master Thesis : Enhance User Experience using new NFC capabilities on mobile devices
We are ELCA, one of the largest Swiss IT tribe with over 2,200 experts. We are multicultural with offices in Switzerland, Spain, Italy, France, Vietnam and Mauritius. Since 1968, our team of engineers, business analysts, software architects, designers and consultants provide tailor-made and standardized solutions to support the digital transformation of major public administrations and private companies in Switzerland. Our activity spans across multiples fields of leading-edge technologies such as AI, Machine & Deep learning, BI/BD, RPA, Blockchain, IoT and CyberSecurity.
NFC is a technology that allows wireless communication between devices in close proximity. It can be used for various purposes, such as access control, ticketing, payment, and more. But what are the limits and possibilities of NFC on our smartphones ? Can we create new and innovative functions and scenarios for NFC that have not been explored before?
This is the challenge that you will face in this internship: create a NFC app on mobile but also watch devices that enables secure and convenient access control for different scenarios. You will also replace the need for QR codes or other methods of identification and verification, and demonstrate the convenience and security of using NFC on mobile and watch devices for access control.
You will join our team of mobile developers, with the support of our UX and security experts. You will work in a challenging and highly innovative environment.
