About us
The Research Development & Innovation department of Damen helps the company to become the most sustainable and digitally connected shipyard in the world. We give support to the business in the development of an innovative product portfolio and offer pro-active advice with the aim of further improving the quality and performance of the Damen products and services.
The RD&I department is divided into Research Development and Enabling Technologies branches. There are six research teams.
Damen invests substantially in its own internal R&D projects. Moreover we are also very active in collaborative R&D projects with industry partners as well as academia and knowledge institutes both nationally and internationally.
The role
As a student working for the automation research team you will work on novel technologies related to autonomous shipping. This includes both full autonomy and captain support systems which are steppingstones towards full autonomy. Autonomous shipping is a relatively broad knowledge area including topics such as vessel dynamics and control sensing and sensor fusion machine learning collision avoidance remote command and control IT and telecom simulations human-machine interfacing and development of modular hardware and software to make it all work together. Depending on your background we will together choose the best topic for you to work on.
We can accommodate both internships and graduation projects and have roles for both BSc and MSc students.
Key accountabilities
You will be responsible for answering a specific research question (e.g. what sensors to use for autodocking) or for the development of a tool for RD&I (e.g. set up an autonomy simulator in ROS). You may perform (Matlab) simulations or work with our full-mission bridge simulator or our model boats in a water basin or our full-size test vessel depending on the specific assignment. You will have one of our researchers as your daily supervisor who will make sure the executed work fits Damens expectations.
