Who we are and what we do
Raspberry Pi makes computers and microcontrollers that make technology accessible to people and businesses all over the world. We launched the first Raspberry Pi computer in 2012 with the aim of increasing the number of young people engaging with computer science; now, our low-cost, high-quality, compact and efficient products perform everywhere from process control to home computing and from education to enterprise. Increasing numbers of commercial customers are using our compute in embedded environments, for industrial control, in end-user computing, and in countless other applications. Since selling our first product in 2012 we’ve become the UK’s bestselling computer company.
What you could be doing during your work placement
At Raspberry Pi, we aim to provide placement students with impactful work that will shape the future of our hardware and silicon products. No two placements are the same, as each will depend on the requirements of our current projects, but previous examples include:
- Designing and integrating digital logic for future silicon products
- Verifying internal components used throughout our range of silicon offerings
- Bench-testing new chips upon their return from the fab
- Synthesis and timing analysis of digital circuits
- Running SPICE simulations of analogue and digital circuits
- Product, reference design, and internal equipment PCB schematic design and layout
- Proof-of-concept and test firmware for prototype hardware
- Industry standard electronic part library contributions and management
- Bring-up and characterisation of prototype hardware products
