Dive into innovation and creativity with us!
Robotics, AI and automation are changing how things are made, and we want to make the most of it. As a part of Water Linked's Summer Internship, you'll join our production team and help us explore how automation and AI can make our production simpler, smarter and more efficient. Building advanced underwater sensors takes precision, and some of our production steps are still done by hand. We believe technology can make them easier and better, and your job is to help us figure out how.
We believe in fostering a strong learning environment where you can apply your academic knowledge to a real project, all while being guided by experienced operators and engineers. As an intern, you could be mapping how things are done today, spotting where automation, machine learning and AI could make the biggest difference, and helping design and build a solution, whether that's hardware, software or a bit of both.
Experience more this summer through Workation
In addition to a unique learning experience, Water Linked is proud to be part of Workation, a summer job program in Trondheim featuring participating companies. As an intern, you’ll get free access to a variety of exciting activities, such as the Høyt & Lavt climbing park, Escape Rooms, and beer tastings at ØX. The Workation program is the perfect opportunity to expand your professional network while having fun and make new friends along the way.
