The Project Engineering department is responsible for the worldwide execution of projects in which the different components (mechanical, electromechanical and controls) of our material handling systems are implemented. Working under the supervision of a project leader, closely working together with the electrical and controls engineers, the mechanical engineers are part of a multidisciplinary team of engineers.

Tasks/Responsibilities

• Research current AI technologies relevant to mechanical engineering.
• Identify engineering processes within the department that could benefit from AI integration.
• Evaluate feasibility and potential impact of AI use cases.
• Prototype one or more AI-based solutions.
• Document findings and present recommendations to the team.

Your Profile

• Affiliation with Artificial Intelligence
• Interest in (mechanical) engineering innovation
• Good communication and documentation skills
• *Mandatory enrolment to a Dutch Education System & resident of The Netherlands.
