Test Intern (Start date: Oct/Nov 2024 or Jan/Feb 2025)

About us

We are part of a global project team, working with various stakeholders within the company to design and develop new methodologies that enable verification of our product mechanical robustness across all categories by means of  exploring the limits of the technology and optimising our solution.

About the role

As an Intern in the Mechanical Robustness team, you will collaborate closely with our Verification and Mechanical Test Development Team to support the evaluation of chemical properties, solutions, and compositions, and their impact on the robustness of plastic parts. Under the mentorship of experienced engineers, you will engage in various stages of test development, data analysis, and reporting, playing a vital role in enhancing product quality and performance.

Your role will involve delving into the intricacies of material science, as you design and execute experiments aimed at unravelling the chemical mysteries of plastic part production. Utilizing a diverse array of analytical techniques such as spectroscopy, chromatography, and microscopy, you will meticulously analyse material properties, contributing valuable insights to inform our testing protocols and procedures.

Your days will be filled with hands-on experimentation, conducting chemical analyses and mechanical tests on plastic parts to explore their resilience under different environmental conditions. With each test performed, you will gather data, eagerly anticipating the insights it will unveil and delving into its analysis. From these analyses, you will assist in crafting comprehensive reports, distilling complex findings into actionable recommendations to drive continuous improvement efforts.
