Job Title

Job Description

Assignment type: Internship

Start date: February 2026

Assignment duration: 6 months

Location: Veghel

Education level: Bachelor

Desired study: Electrical Engineering Electronic Engineering Industrial Engineering Data Science Mechatronics
Language: Dutch/English

Description of assignment

Design prototype and validate an advanced check station for our Individual Carrier System (ICS) used in baggage handling. The station will dynamically scan ICS carriers at full capacity using state-of-the-art technologies to assess performance detect anomalies and support operational diagnostics

Individual Carrier System (ICS) carriers are essential for transporting baggage through automated baggage handling systems. An advanced check station is needed to: Validate carrier status under dynamic conditions to optimize operational performance and Enable automated diagnostics to optimize our service proposition.

The check station should:

• Validate whether the carrier is empty loaded with one item or multiple items.
• Validate whether items are within allowed envelope and dimensions.
• Determine the physical class of the bag (Standard Semi-conveyable etc.).
• Determine the shape and orientation of the bag
• Validate whether there is foreign material stuck (e.g. stickers dirt)
• Be compliant with technical requirements (e.g. physical damage material is deforming)

Department description

You will be part of the Development Center Airports which develops end-to-end solutions which are deployed in our Airports projects globally.

You will be part of one of our multidisciplinary teams involved in ICS solution design.

We have an innovation center at our Headquarter in Veghel where we test and validate our newly developed solutions before deployment in operational environments.

Tasks/responsibilities

• Review ICS technical requirements and carrier specifications
• Analyze baggage and carrier behavior and failure modes using historical data
• Design a check station with a modular future approach in mind
• Integrate off the shelf sensors/technologies (e.g. AI models) and potentially develop new models for dynamic scanning and anomaly detection
• Prototype the station
• Conduct lab and field tests to validate performance
• Document findings main risk/attention points and propose potential improvements on our current solutions. to carrier design or operational parameters

Your profile

• Familiarity with sensor integration AI model training and data logging
• Interest in logistics automation and system testing
• *Mandatory enrolment to a Dutch Education System & resident of The Netherlands.
