WO: Internship Mechanical engineering

Design and Simulation of a Nitrogen Blanket Generator

Are you a WO mechanical engineering student with a passion for designing and simulating flow systems? Are you creative in proposing new solutions, and have the analytical skills to deliver high quality designs? We are looking for you!

Your assignment

As an intern or graduate in mechanical engineering, you will have the opportunity to combine creativity with solid design experience in the flow domain. This assignment begins with defining the scope, which you will validate with your coach. Based on this, you will follow the design cycle, using a model-based approach to create a design proposal that can be verified with hardware at the end of your internship.

For this assignment, we are seeking a nitrogen blanket design to be used in combination with our UV Curing systems. The goal of this nitrogen blanket system is to provide a smooth isolating layer of nitrogen at the ink surface, preventing oxygen from penetrating the ink during the UV Curing reaction. The assignment requires simulating the expected flows in the printer environment and optimizing the blanket generation hardware to minimize the required nitrogen while ensuring a smooth blanket.

Your profile

• You study mechanical engineering or a related field with a specialization in flow.
• You are capable of working with Comsol or a similar flow simulation package.
• You are available from February/March 2026 for at least 5 months, 5 days a week.

What’s in it for you?

• Internship or graduation compensation of €500 per month
• Travel cost compensation if you don’t have an ‘OV-weekcard’
• The possibility to network with professionals inside and outside your field of expertise, thanks to our diversity of disciplines
• With our company values of collaboration, innovation, and ownership, we strive to bring out the best in each other, expand boundaries, and feel empowered to take ownership of our work.
