🔥 We challenge you!
• Detail design of prototypes; pragmatically create the drawings required to create prototypes
•  Build prototypes; you will make the prototypes with tools provided in the (very well equipped) mechanical workshop. Your main responsibility is to take design concepts and improvements, and build prototypes which you will assemble yourself and test. You need to base your improvements on understanding of the use case and application.
•  Collaboration; we are a small team where every individual counts. We need your analytical thinking and problem solving skills to improve our product and drive our projects forward.
• Engage in problem-solving exercises, learn by doing on a daily basis and contribute fresh perspectives to the development of the GEHECO product.
👉🏼 You are
•  You are flexible and able to cope with the uncertainties (and freedom!) of working at a start-up. Plans may change overnight; structures are not yet firmly in place. You need to deliver on the goal, but how you do it is very much up to you.
•  Excellent problem-solving abilities and a desire to learn and grow in a dynamic environment.
•  Strong collaborative mindset willing to learn by experimenting and doing.
• Passion for green technology and sustainability initiatives.
đź‘©đź’» Requirements
• You are a pragmatic and enthusiastic individual pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering, or related technical fields. (HBO, bachelor / mechanical engineering
•  Passion for making things work. Your practical talent to create a real, working prototype is what counts most in this assignment. You have a passion for making stuff work. Being able to analyze your work and come up with rapid solutions to improve it.
• Pragmatism; what works works. Solutions do not have to be perfect, you need to be able to build the prototypes in the mechanical workshop and with a 3D printer. Experience using metal working tools is a big plus, as is experience in building or repairing mechanical devices.
• Understanding of the use case; you need to be able to understand the use case, and optimize the tool accordingly.
• Digital skills; you need sufficient knowledge of 3D CAD software to create detailed designs
(Pls bring your own computer with 3D Cad or other software you may need)
• You are legally allowed to work in the Netherlands (EU resident or work permit)
🏦 What do you get in return?
•Improve your rapid prototyping skills
• Receive practical training on several new machines (you will be using when building the prototypes).
• Gain valuable hands-on experience in a start-up environment dedicated to sustainable tech solutions.
•Mentorship from seasoned professionals (22+ years working experience).
• Being part of a start-up community (Yes!Delft) with plenty networking opportunities and exposure to innovative technology.
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge solutions in a super innovative and pragmatic setting.
• Internship compensation is available.
• Contribute to solutions that make a real difference in sustainability and the environment.
