Summer Trainee for Manufacturing Engineering

Looking for a super cool summer job in the field of technology? Are you all about science and technology? Would work with cutting-edge ultra-low temperature cooling systems and curious people be awesome? Do you want to be a part of progress and success? If yes, then Bluefors could be the place for you this summer and these would be a perfect summer work for example for students in the field of Manufacturing/Electrical/Computer/Automation Engineering or related field.

Our Manufacturing Engineering team is now looking for two Trainees for different projects to support the great growth story of ours. Position in this team will support your studies and helps you to gain work experience in the field of high-tech product manufacturing and enhance the possible future career plans of yours.

To succeed in this position, we expect you to have proficiency in writing and debugging Python scripts, understanding of basic Python libraries (NumPy, SciPy) and basic skills in analysing and interpreting data using Python. You are familiar with various testing instruments and equipment used in manufacturing, and have basic understanding of measurement principles, data acquisition and statistical methods for data analysis. Experience in creating automated test setups and scripts for data collection or knowledge of measurement device communication (SCPI and PyVISA) would be beneficial, but not mandatory.

We expect you to have “get things done”-attitude, eagerness to learn and genuine passion towards your work. You need to have good communication and collaboration skills, since you will be working in cross-functional teams including engineers, technicians and other professionals from different departments.
