Internship or Graduation: General Autonomous Shipping

We offer you an Ocean of Possibilities. Join our family.

As a student working for the automation research team, you will work on novel technologies related to autonomous shipping. This includes both full autonomy and captain support systems, which are steppingstones towards full autonomy. Autonomous shipping is a relatively broad knowledge area, including topics such as vessel dynamics and control, sensing and sensor fusion, collision avoidance, remote command and control, simulations, human-machine interfacing, and development of modular hardware and software to make it all work together. Depending on your background we will together choose the best topic for you to work on.

We can accommodate both internships and graduation projects for MSc students.

At least several skills/experiences from the following list are required to be considered:

• Master student with a strong background in a topic from the following list: control, robotics, mathematics, mechatronics, (embedded) software, HMI design;
• Proficient in simulation skills (e.g. Python), robotics control (ROS), and/or other low-level language skills (I.e., C, C++);
• Hands-on experience with technology such as W-band radar, longwave infrared and/or standardized protocols (I.e., NMEA);
• Able to work with algorithms, tracking and fusion, and calibration processes;
• All work is conducted in English, therefore fluency is required;
• You are available for a minimum of six months and able to work on site in Gorinchem, where all assignments for this team take place.
