Over the past two summers, our interns have had the chance to work on exciting, hands-on projects that showcase both creativity and technical skills. In 2024, they built an autonomous underwater drone from scratch, collaborating closely with our engineering team to bring the project to life. In 2025, interns put our Sonar 3D-15 through its paces across various ROV platforms, taking part in a two-part project that combined field testing, technical documentation, and a strong dose of creative and technical problem solving. These projects give interns a unique opportunity to gain real-world experience and contribute meaningfully to our innovative work. The summer project for 2026 isn’t finalized yet, so if you have ideas or wishes, feel free to pitch them in your application!
Application Deadline: 14th of November 2025
