• You have a basic understanding of physical and physiological processes, and knowledge to build, test, and program hardware systems.
• You have expertise and a proven background in Matlab and Python programming.
• You are fluent in oral and written English.

In return, we offer you:

A great opportunity to gain experience within a high-performing team. You will gain insight into significant events within Royal Philips. You will work in a team that cooperates closely, with many learning and development opportunities.

We offer a comprehensive internship package:

• Monthly full-time allowance between €500 - €700 gross, depending on educational level and whether you need to relocate to The Netherlands. For part-time internships, the allowance is pro-rata.
• Housing compensation if relocating to the vicinity of the office: €300 net if in the vicinity of Amsterdam, €255 net for all other Philips locations. You must provide a rental contract, and your normal home-work travel distance must be more than 50 km or travel time (one way) more than 1.5 hours.
• Travel compensation up to €192 net if you are not eligible for a free public transport card.
• Paid holidays per internship term.
• The opportunity to buy Philips equipment at our Philips shop.

How we work together:
We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week.

IMPORTANT:

• Part of our selection procedure is a HireVue online interview recording. We are not able to share the outcome of this HireVue interview but will use this as extra selection criteria.
• To be considered, you must be registered as a student during the entire internship period. Formal documentation will be requested. Students from outside the EU enrolled at a Dutch university need to fill in a NUFFIC agreement, which must be signed by the student and the university.
• Please note that the contents of our regular internship assignments are not suitable for professionals (and/or MBA students) with professional work experience.
