Role

Title:

Electromechanical Design Intern

Location: Congleton or Newport

Duration: 12-months

Create Real Impact from Day One

At Siemens, we create technology that transforms the everyday. Whether you're passionate about advanced manufacturing, clean tech, automation, or electrical engineering, you won’t just be watching from the sidelines — you’ll contribute to live development projects that shape industries and infrastructure across the UK.

What Will You Be Doing?

You'll be based at one of our world-class UK Research & Development (R&D) facilities in Congleton or Newport, working alongside experienced engineers on cutting-edge variable speed drives and power electronics. This hands‑on environment is designed to accelerate your technical development and help you build a valuable professional network.

We encourage regular on‑site collaboration ,4 days per week, giving you the opportunity to learn directly from industry experts and gain valuable laboratory experience.

Core Focus Areas
:

Electronics Design (60%):

• Support the design and testing of electronic circuits for variable speed drives.
• Use simulation tools to explore circuit performance and behaviour.
• Assemble and test hardware to investigate, troubleshoot, and resolve faults. Build, test and troubleshoot hardware using equipment such as oscilloscopes and multimeters.
• Explore how variable speed drives precisely control industrial motors and mechanical loads.

Mechanical & Thermal Design (30%):

• Support enclosure and heatsink design alongside thermal simulations.
• Build and iterate prototype parts using in‑house 3D printing facilities.

Collaboration & Professional Development (10%):

• Maintain clear technical records and share findings across multidisciplinary teams.
• Present project updates to departmental leaders and technical partners.
• Participate in cross‑business innovation projects, external events, and STEM promotional activities.

Life on the Programme:
In Our Intern's Words

“I usually start my day by grabbing a caffeinated drink from the canteen before planning my day around my scheduled meetings. I like to spend my mornings exploring different topics, whether that's researching the projects I'm working on, getting familiar with subjects I'm less experienced in, or learning more about our company's products and wider portfolio. I see this as valuable time for expanding my technical knowledge and personal development.

In the afternoons, I generally focus on tasks assigned by my supervisor or other team members. At the moment, this involves spending time in the lab commissioning drives, testing hardware and collecting data, all under supervision as I work towards completing the necessary Health and Safety assessments to operate certain test rigs independently. Throughout the internship, my supervisor has been very approachable and involved, whether answering questions, discussing technical concepts or supervising my practical work, so I've never felt that I'll be left to figure things out on my own’

What We’re Looking For

• Currently studying towards a degree in Mechatronics, Electromechanical, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or a related dispone.
• Understanding of test equipment, such as multimeters and oscilloscopes.
• Hands‑on experience building or testing hardware through projects, lab work, or previous work experience.
• Experience with CAD, 3D printing, electronics simulation, or engineering societies/projects is desirable but…
