Data Engineer Scientist Working Student Intern

At Thermeleon we are developing the worlds first passive Heat Battery for hightech greenhouses and we are looking for a working student or intern who enjoys turning complex climate datasets into clear actionable insights. If you have a scientific mindset enjoy exploring realworld data and take pride in presenting your findings in a way that is both accurate and engaging this role will suit you well.

You will directly contribute to our mission Towards Climate Neutral Horticulture supporting growers in reducing energy use improving crop performance and moving toward a more resilient lowcarbon future.

Our passive Heat Battery requires no energy input and delivering 1030% energy savings while structurally rethinking how thermal energy is stored and managed in greenhouses. As part of our team you will help translate raw climate data into insights that guide this transition and support the next generation of sustainable horticulture.

Tasks

1. You will help develop a scalable dataanalysis framework that can be applied to new clients and evolving datasets. This framework will streamline future analyses and support consistent repeatable insight generation.
2. You will lead the continued development and management of our central database ensuring all processed data and insights are structured for long-term accessibility and scalable analysis
3. You will analyze large multisource greenhouse datasets to uncover thermal energy and climate insights. Your work supports understanding heat flux behavior temperature cycles and environmental interactions.
4. You will generate comparative insights across multiple client sites both before and after demo installations. This helps quantify the impact of new technologies and supports evidencebased decision.
5. You will evaluate performance of the Heat Battery across different configurations compartments and environmental conditions. These analyses help quantify system efficiency and guide future design improvements.
6. You will investigate vertical and spatial climate patterns that contribute to understanding how climate behaves in real greenhouse environments.
7. You will validate and correlate sensor systems which ensure data reliability and enables deeper interpretation of greenhouse climate dynamics.

Requirements

• HBO or university student in a technical field (e.g. Physics Computer Science Engineering).
• Proficiency in Python for scientific data analysis and working with timeseries datasets.
• Willingness and interest to learn how to build dashboards and work with databases to effectively structure and visualize data.
• Strong communicator who can translate complex analyses into clear understandable insights for the team and clients.
• Works accurately and takes ownership of data quality.

Benefits

• Make an impact: Your analyses directly contribute to our mission of achieving climate-neutral greenhouse horticulture.
• Professional growth: Learn all about data architecture real-world sensor data and the practical application of Data Science in a hardware environment.
• Innovative environment: Work in the iconic Van Nelle Factory as part of an ambitious multidisciplinary team.
• Network: Get the opportunity to exchange ideas with industry partners from growers to sensor suppliers.
• Flexibility: A part-time job that fits perfectly alongside your studies with room for initiative and strategic thinking.

We are a driven team with a passion for technology and sustainability. Every Friday we organize a Learning Session to share knowledge and wrap up the week together.

At Thermeleon we strive for diversity. Do you feel excited about the role but dont tick every box yet We would especially love to hear from you! Were looking for talent that wants to grow with us.
