Data Analyst with Focus on Electrical Machines Signals - Internship

Hi, we are Samotics! With our unique, AI-driven solution, we help many of the world's largest industrial companies reduce energy waste, water pollution events, and unplanned downtime. Join us in our mission to make industrial companies more sustainable.

We are looking for an MSc student interested in an internship as a Data Analyst with a focus on electrical machines signals. Are you interested in building on a cutting-edge product? Are you excited about solving our customers' most pressing problems? And do you want to make an impact in a fast-growing company? Then read on!

About the Team 👋

In this role, you will support the Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA) Specialists team. The ESA Specialists team performs in-depth analysis of asset failures based on current and voltage signals and supports other teams within our company to communicate detections, analyze misses, and find ways of improving Samotics’ Asset Health product (SAM4). You will work closely with engineers from multiple nationalities who have vast experience in electrical machine fault diagnosis and signal processing.

Your Challenge 🎯

As a Data Analyst focusing on electrical machines signals, you will learn about ESA and play a relevant role in improving the tooling used by the ESA Specialists team for the detection of failures on electrical machines based on signal processing of voltage and current data.
