Working Student -Lab/R&D Team

Are you hands-on and curious to see your work come to life in real materials, not just on paper? Are you enthusiastic to work in a rapidly growing and ambitious international scale-up that plays an important part in the energy transition? If the answer is yes, then we are looking for you! 

Foundations Of Your Job 

As part of the Lab team, we work on the practical side of the designs we develop. We are testing friction, coating damage and other material properties, giving direct input into our designs and proposing design optimizations. This is where engineering theory meets hands – on practice.  

You will work across a wide variety of designs building your skills quickly, and as you grow into the role you may also get the chance to liaise directly with clients. 

 A glimpse of your responsibilities: 

• Executing tests 

• Preparing test setups 

• Setting up test reports 

What Makes You Great 

You are hands-on and practical, with a natural curiosity about how things work in real life, not just on paper. You are a quick learner who is not afraid to get involved, and you take ownership of the tasks in front of you.

• Approaching the end of your bachelor’s degree or in the early stages of your master’s, for example in:
