Internship or graduation project Electrical Engineering

Role  The objective of the proposed internship or graduation project is to design and develop dredging equipment, and their electrical components, instrumentation and controls.
Key accountabilities   Dredging equipment is subject to harsh conditions. Exposure to maritime, saline environments is demanding for steel structures. The dredging process and how the equipment is operated and maintained pose additional design challenges.
Damen Dredging Equipment (DDE) designs and builds standardized product ranges of dredging equipment, as well as customized solutions designed to the client’s needs. A typical dredging vessel consists of a floating steel construction with highly loaded mechanical static and rotating equipment. The supporting systems (hydraulic, electrical, HVAC and control systems) have to be integrated as well.
The design shall comply with all relevant Class Rules and International Standards.
Projects envisaged to be carried out include: remote control and data acquisition solutions for dredgers, booster stations and production measurement units; design of Class compliant electrical systems on board dredgers; design of power distribution and (automated) controls of electrical driven dredge pumps; system design for a HIL test unit / dredging simulator.
Description / Responsibilities   Literature study; design/run analytical models of physical processes (e.g., MATLAB, MathCAD); negotiations with component suppliers; discussing the design with other departments such as Purchase and Work Preparation.
Hardware design using E-Plan and coordination of fabrication (assist with).
Software design for PLC and HMI systems (Siemens) or PC-based systems (Windows).
Coordination and execution of tests at production facilities, in the Netherlands or abroad.
Reporting and demonstrations to stakeholders within the project; taking responsibility for project management.
Qualifications   Bachelor or Master student in Electrical Engineering, Industrial Automation or Energy Technology.
Autonomous, practically and result driven.
Good communication skills.
Good command of Dutch and English, especially in writing.
What we offer   The project will preferably be carried out at the DDE yard location in Nijkerk.
A monthly allowance will be paid for the duration of the assignment.
A temporary accommodation or compensation for housing could be provided if required.
Flexible working hours can be discussed and mentoring at HBO or academic level will be available throughout the project.
