The role

​​Development of a new product is a complex process involving review of variable concepts. At any stage of the design the actual testing of the concept is very beneficial to access the capability of the design. This internship involves testing of the concepts and review of the results in contexts of the large project.

You will be working alongside Senior Mechanical and Electrical Engineers learning the variety of the subjects, for example: concept identification, design assessment, testing set-up, data processing etc. Your responsibilities will be clearly defined however not limited to the scope of the internship (you can choose to be involved in other parts of the project or in general activities of the centre). ​

Deliverables

Learning and using a wide variety of engineering skills to deliver a design of a system which is capable of withstanding the harsh downhole environment.
