Internship | The Sound of Innovation
2 maanden geleden
About this position
Sound is omnipresent in our society. While it can sometimes be a nuisance, like the noise from traffic or machinery, it also holds incredible potential. Imagine the possibilities in underwater communication and the high-tech domain. Our mission is to collaborate with governments and industries to study, understand, and control acoustic phenomena in the broadest sense. By joining our team, you’ll be at the forefront of groundbreaking research that is set to be implemented in the near future, making a real impact on society.
What will be your role?
As a member of our Acoustics & Underwater Warfare division, you get the opportunity to dive into exciting research for either the civil, defense, medical, or high-tech sector. Our research portfolio is extremely diverse and covers topics like acoustic signatures, noise control, sensor & sonar systems and seabed security. Because of the diverse research directions it means that there’s also a wide range of fascinating topics you could work on.
Based on your interest and expertise your project could be more focused either on modelling and simulations, designing and executing experiments in our lab, identification and classification, or even operations research. Some possible assignments within these areas are:
1. Modeling and simulation:
2. Designing measurement setups and conducting physical experiments:
Designing a measurement system for the transmission of vibrations, for example for pumps on board a ship, to determine the acoustic signature of marine vessels. Experiments using guided waves to measure the density and viscosity of fluids. Exploration of a flowmeter based on nonlinear wave propagation.
3. Signal processing, Identification, classification, and AI:
4. Operations research:
If the topics above resonate with you, you are very welcome to apply. It’s good to know that this is a general vacancy and that depending on our current work activities we can have different projects available. If you apply for the internship, we discuss with you what concrete assignments we have at that given moment. Together we can finetune the assignment according to your interests and expertise.
What we expect from you
You are in the final stage of your degree in (Geo/Astro)Physics, Mathematics, Mechanical/Biomedical Engineering, (Applied) AI, Operations Research, or a similar technical study. You have experience programming in Matlab or Python, you are results-driven, and you are communicative.
In determining if and where we can place you, we are mainly interested in your motivations. Besides that, it is useful for us to know what your prior experience is and when you are available. Therefore we ask you to include the following documents in your application:
What you'll get in return
You want an internship opportunity on the precursor of your career; an internship gives you an opportunity to take a good look at your prospective future employer. TNO goes a step further. It’s not just looking that interests us; you and your knowledge are essential to our innovation. That’s why we attach a great deal of value to your personal and professional development.
