Internship: Measurement & Analysis

As an intern in Measurement & Analysis you will support the team in designing implementing and validating an innovative measurement solution. Youll collaborate with engineers across disciplines gain handson experience with automated setups and Python processing and help improve the quality and reliability of our measurement process while receiving mentorship and guidance.

The Challenge

Our organization is investing in the future of process optimization. This internship is essential to achieving our ambition: to develop and validate a novel measurement method for our high-tech environment. Youll be combining measurement science Python-based analysis and applied physics with automation and robotics.

Your role:

• Independently design and execute measurement tasks on machines installations and processes

• Develop implement and improve a new measurement methodology tailored to our production/innovation environment

• Perform Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility (Gage R&R) studies to validate and assure measurement system reliability

• Analyse measurement data using Python programming; present clear and actionable reports

• Apply principles of materials science free body diagrams and FEM simulations to optimize measured outcomes

• Basic robotics for integrating measurement tools into automated systems

• Advise on and initiate process and quality improvement measures based on data findings

Youre the right fit if:

• You are currently pursuing a Bachelor or Master degree in Mechanical (Biomedical) Engineering Applied Physics or related technical field

• You have a solid foundation in analytical problem solving materials science and process optimization

• You have some experience with Python programming for data analysis

• You have an ability to work independently as well as in multidiscipline teams

• You have a practical knowledge of relevant software packages (e.g. Python MATLAB CAD/FEM tools)

• You are proactive accurate and have result-oriented mindset with strong communication skills

• You are fluent in English (written and verbal)

Nice to have:

• Familiarity with Python libraries for data handling (e.g. NumPy pandas SciPy) and visualization (e.g. matplotlib Plotly)

• Knowledge of sensor technology data acquisition and real-time measurement architectures

• Basic experience with simulation software (e.g. ANSYS COMSOL SolidWorks Simulation)

• Experience in gage R&R studies

How we work together

We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams this means working in-person at least 3 days per week. Onsite roles require full-time presence in the companys facilities. Field roles are most effectively done outside of the companys main facilities generally at the customers or suppliers locations.

Monthly full-time allowance between 500 - 700 gross depending on educational level and if you would need to relocate to The Netherlands. If you will perform a part-time internship you will receive the allowance pro-rata.

Housing compensation in case of relocating to the vicinity of the office 300- net if location is in the vicinity of Amsterdam 255- net for all other Philips locations. You need to provide a rental contract of the land lord and your normal home-work travel distance need to be more than 50 km or travel time (one way trip) need to be more than 1.5 hours. Travel compensation if you are not eligible for a free public transport card; you will receive max. 192- net. Paid holidays per internship term.
