Internship: R&D Engineer - Carbon Capture materials testing

Skytree enables a transition to a world with cleaner Air for everyone. We do this by developing and deploying smart technology that captures atmospheric carbon dioxide, enabling its use or storage to combat climate change and aid society and businesses around the world.

Born out of the European Space Agency (ESA), we are a global team of highly talented scientists, engineers and business professionals, supported by an experienced management team. Our working culture is based on a dynamic and smart approach to business with an open and understanding attitude to others and a desire to expand the boundaries of what is possible.

As we enter a new phase of growth, we’re excited to welcome a driven R&D Engineer Intern to learn, grow, and go on this journey with us!

You will have an opportunity to work on a wide range of tasks, from basic research and modeling to equipment design to hands-on assembly and testing. Based on your interests and abilities, your work can be split between these three areas:

• Gain real-life hands-on experience building hardware and software for a novel experimental set-up. This may include: 

  • Design and assembly of gas piping and vacuum systems

  • Design and assembly of SCADA systems, including sensors, signal processing and SCADA software

  • Design and assembly of electrical and automation systems for analytical equipment

  • Development of the software for data processing and analysis

• Understand physics, chemistry and engineering behind an emerging field of Carbon Capture through daily interactions with a multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers. 

• Work as part of a dynamic clean-tech startup that prioritizes scientific and engineering excellence. 

Apart from working with great colleagues and a competitive package, you can also expect:

• A unique start-up environment offering organic professional and personal growth at one of the most innovative cleantech companies in Amsterdam!

• A diverse (31+ nationalities) and fun team to work with.

• A monthly allowance of EUR 550 + lunch allowance and travel cost reimbursement

• Enjoy the flexibility of hybrid work, with the option to work from home once a week.

• A vibrant office close to the Science Park train station (5 minute walk!), as well as close to the highway.

• Access to the Science Park and Amsterdam University cafeterias (and all the great and healthy meal options).

• Fun activities, organised by our very own Champagne Committee (e.g. a cooking class or Canal Adventures at the heart of the city centre).

• Stay fueled with tasty fruits and snacks - because work should be enjoyable too!
