You’ll play an important role to bring major innovation in direct fastening (DX) product line by modelling and optimizing the complete application, including DX tool and consumables. You will investigate the working principles of the system in collaboration with our R&D experts and apply machine learning to find out the optimal design parameters. This position offers a gripping experience of cross functional role with simulation, testing and product development.
Start date is flexible to the student's availability, duration for at least 6 months
If you’re new to the industry, you might not have heard of us. We provide leading-edge tools, technologies, software and services for the global construction sector. We have a proud heritage, built over 75 years, and a worldwide reputation for pioneering products and exceptional service.
With some 29,000 people in more than 120 countries, which we’re looking to expand, we’re a great place for you to show us your worth, step up to new challenges and grow your career.
As intern in our department you’ll be part of a product development project. You’ll work closely with our experts to develop a new application for Direct Fastening.
Your key responsibilities will be improving an existing system model by collecting empirical, analytical and finite element results, validating it with in-house component tests, implementing a machine learning algorithm to optimize the system based on performance and industry regulations. Finally you suggest design proposals to the project team.
