Assembly, testing and benchmarking the sorbent lifetime testing equipment: As part of the effort to expand Skytree’s sorbent characterisation capabilities, we have developed a custom set-up for accelerated aging of the sorbent. As an R&D engineering intern you will work alongside R&D team scientists and engineers, supporting them with assembling the set-up, developing control and data analysis software, designing and performing test routines and commissioning the set-up.
Maintenance and modifications of the R&D Testing Lab equipment: There is a constant backlog of tasks aimed at the maintenance and improvement of the existing sorbent testing equipment. These tasks typically require a wide range of hands-on skills, including gas and liquid line assembly, electrical assembly, data acquisition and analysis, software development and documentation writing.
Independent research project: Based on your interests and your institution’s requirements, we can design a custom research project for you, supported by our team of physicists, chemists and engineers.

Experience with data analysis (Python), CAD software (Inventor, Fusion) or SCADA systems is a plus.
Experience with sensors (temperature, pressure, humidity, etc) is a plus.
Propensity for first principles thinking is a plus.
You enjoy cross-disciplinary challenges which require creative thinking.
You can communicate clearly and proficiently in English, both in day-to-day and technical domain.
