Software Engineering Internship: Python tool development

Introduction

The Mechanical Development cluster (MDEV) is designing, building and testing mechanical systems and sub‑systems which are fitted into the end products. It has an overall responsibility for the Mechanical Layout during the whole V‑cycle, ensuring that the total system can be built, transported, installed and serviced in a safe and efficient way.

To achieve more refined and efficient workflows, we need a lot of in‑house automation code development for Simulation engineers. These types of tools will enable us to reduce cycle and more at finding the most optimum designs earlier.

Your assignment

Your assignment will be the development and improvement ofML in‑house toolkits within professional physics simulation software (FEA software, knowledge not required). The API (often in Python) is used to make the addons.

Major work for this specific internship might include continuation of recent development – Simulation results reporting and a Model Manager standalone app that interacts with the simulation software. This tool is a Model Manager that allows searching models by criteria, retrieving their files and comparing the model metadata in order to find differences between them (e.g., how model X changes between revision 1 and revision 7).

• Code improvement – review of the code, proposal and implementation of architectural improvements
• Adding new features/tools in the in‑housekits, documentation and optionally workshops for users
• Work in a team with other developers Git
• Planning on dashboard

The FEA software for which the tools are made is one or more of the following: ANSYS, NX SC3D, VCollab.

This is a bachelor/master apprentice internship (to gain work experience) for a minimum of 5 months. The start date is February 2026, but we are flexible.

Your Profile

• Student in Software Engineering Mechanical Engineering with an affinity for software development
• Experience with programming patterns and Python
• Good communication skills
Enrolled at an educational institute for the entire duration of the internship
• Located in the Netherlandsor willing to relocate)
• If a non‑EU citizen studying in the Netherlands, your university must be willing to sign the required Nuffic agreement
