Electrical Engineer Intern

Electrical Engineer Intern (12 months) - Starting Summer 2027

We are a global technology company, driving energy innovation for a balanced planet.

At SLB we create amazing technology that unlocks access to energy for the benefit of all. That is our purpose. As innovators, that has been our mission for 100 years. We are facing the world’s greatest balancing act- how to simultaneously reduce emissions and meet the world’s growing energy demands. We’re working on that answer. Every day, a step closer.

Our collective future depends on decarbonizing the fossil fuel industry, while innovating a new energy landscape. It’s what drives us. Ensuring progress for people and the planet, on the journey to net zero and beyond. For a balanced planet.

Our purpose:
Together, we create amazing technology that unlocks access to energy for the benefit of all. You can find out more about us on

Stonehouse, Gloucestershire

Stonehouse Technology Centre (SHTC) is the SLB drilling Centre of Excellence. It supports SLB through innovative engineering and quality-driven manufacturing, with portfolio emphasis on rotary steerable systems, Measurement While Drilling tools, Specialized Measurement tools and Rechargeable Batteries for Downhole use, and power source products.

Over 300 employees work in SHTC's modern, fit-for-purpose building in scenic Gloucestershire. The facility was constructed to handle future demand for Power Drive tools with an efficient workflow that ensures assembled tools are extensively and rigorously tested before delivery. On site, tools can be monitored using state of-the-art hardware and connectivity that link SHTC to all field locations.

SHTC continues Research & Development investment for new technologies, extending operational limits so that clients can reach hotter, deeper reserves.

This internship offers an opportunity to gain practical experience working with Measurement While Drilling (MWD) and Rotary Steerable System (RSS) technologies. Throughout the internship, you will:

• Drive Innovation:
  Develop creative and cost-effective engineering solutions to enhance the performance, reliability, and sustainability of electronic tools and products.
• Apply Technical Expertise:
  Leverage your electrical engineering skills to analyze, design, and develop electronic boards, tools, and advanced test systems.
• Lead Development Stages:
  Participate in all phases of the development process, including design reviews, prototyping, system integration, qualification testing, and thorough documentation.
• Collaborate Across Disciplines:
  Work closely with a multidisciplinary team of experts—spanning electrical, software, and mechanical engineers, as well as physicists and designers—to achieve project goals and deliver impactful results.
• Plan and Execute:
  Take ownership of technical planning for implementing changes in the field, conducting rigorous testing and validation, authoring functional specifications, and contributing to the development of innovative principles and concepts.

The work will include hands-on exposure to both analog, digital electronics, system integration, circuit testing, signal processing, and hardware troubleshooting. You'll collaborate with experienced engineers, support lab and field-related testing activities, analyse data, and contribute to the development and improvement of advanced drilling tools, providing valuable real-world engineering experience.

Some of the outcomes expected in the internship will be:

• Perform calculation/simulations to validate designs
• Develop electronic board and assemblies
• Develop test system hardware/software/scripts for automated testing
• Data analytic projects
• Work with senior engineers to write and to release…
