Piezoelectric mechanism design Internship

We are a young DeepTech start-up based in YES!Delft that develops kinetic energy harvesting technology and an IoT product for digitalization of trains. We have identified a clear problem with detecting damaged wheels and see this as a great opportunity to develop and implement a predictive maintenance solution. We are looking for an ambitious and enthusiastic student who is interested in an internship or graduation project in helping us develop this predictive maintenance use-case.

About Memsys

We are a young DeepTech start-up based in YES!Delft that develops kinetic energy harvesting technology and self-powered sensors for industrial applications. We have the audaciously ambitious goal of powering a billion devices by 2040; eliminating the waste of billions of batteries. We are looking for an ambitious, enthusiastic and creative engineering student to contribute to the design, analysis, and testing of cutting-edge piezoelectric mechanisms.

🔥 We challenge you!

• Propose, analyse and evaluate concepts, designs and materials for piezoelectric energy harvesting mechanisms.

• Mechanical design of mechanisms and surrounding parts (mountings, casings, testing features), producing mechanical design drawings.

• Develop and analytical models and finite element analysis (FEA) models to evaluate and optimize mechanical designs.

• Building prototypes, developing production tools and processes, analysing performance, and iterating on designs based on test results.

👉🏼 You are

• Working towards an engineering degree in mechanical engineering or similar and have a strong interest in working in a multidisciplinary team.

• You are skilled in designing and analysing mechanical systems with CAD tools (preferably Solidworks) and FEA methods (preferably Comsol).

• A hands-on problem solver who enjoys working directly with hardware, tackling practical challenges, and finding innovative solutions through prototyping and experimentation.

• Somebody who is eager to embrace the adventure, takes ownership of the work and shares our good vibes.

👩‍💻 Requirements

• Available for a minimum of 4 months on a full-time basis.

• Able to commute to our HQ in YES!Delft.

• Strong communication skills in English and preferably Dutch.

• Relevant work experience is appreciated (this can be a previous role or internships).

🏦 What do you get in return?

• The opportunity to work in an inspiring environment where tech meets entrepreneurship, together with a group of young and highly motivated peers in a culture that celebrates professional excellence and is serious about fun.

• The chance to put your talents to work and make a direct impact on a more sustainable future through the development of new technologies.

• The ability to create something that you can be proud of and that will be seen by hundreds or perhaps thousands of people.

• Internship compensation, travel allowance and a ton of extra’s such as Friday afternoon drinks, company outings and more
