Job Description

Start Date: As of June 2026

Duration: at least 12 months

Your role:

• Design, develop, and test software components for patient monitoring within the interoperability and connectivity scope, including implementing communication protocols and managing network communication.

How we work together

We believe that we are better together than apart. For office-based teams, this means working in person at least 3 days per week. Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company’s facilities. Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company’s main facilities, generally at customers’ or suppliers’ locations.

We offer you:

• A growth opportunity within a global multinational company.
• Monthly full-time allowance between €500 - €700 gross, depending on your education level and whether you need to relocate to The Netherlands. Part-time internships receive the allowance pro rata.
• Housing compensation if you need to relocate near the office: a monthly allowance of €300 net in the vicinity of Amsterdam, or €255 net for other Philips locations. Eligibility requires a rental contract and a usual home-work travel distance of more than 50 km or 1.5 hours of travel time one way.
• Travel compensation of up to €192 net as a monthly allowance if you are not eligible for a free public transport card.
• Paid holidays per internship term.
• The opportunity to buy Philips products at the Philips shop.
