You will be part of a dynamic team of professionals working for international clients. By cooperating closely with software designers, developers, testers and other specialists you will be able to develop your technical software testing skills and build a better working world.

Your key responsibilities

• Collaboration with team members, testing and implementation project activities to achieve project and client goals
• Completion of assigned tasks on time and regular status reporting
• Participating in the organization-wide people initiatives

Vous aurez l'opportunité de participer aux projets en cours portant sur les thématiques suivantes :

• Etude des risques de ruissellement et coulée d’eau boueuse et recherche de solutions fondées sur la nature 
• Cartographie de l’aléas inondation en vu de l’élaboration d’un PPRi
• Dimensionnement et Etude d’impacts d’aménagements hydrauliques
• Mise en place d’un système d’alerte de crue 
• Développement d’un outil d’aide à la décision pour la planification des ressources en eau.

Au fil des projets et au sein de l’équipe, il vous sera confié les tâches suivantes :

• Recueil et analyse des données nécessaires à l’étude
• Analyse de donnée hydrométéorologiques 
• Construction et calage d’un modèle hydrologique
• Conception et mise en œuvre de modèles hydrauliques 1D/2D (MIKE+)
• Conception et mise en place de système d’alerte et de prévision
• Production et analyse des résultats issus de simulations numériques (analyse d’hydrogrammes, analyse coût-bénéfice, rendus cartographiques, croisements SIG, etc.).

You will join our engineering department and work on tasks that contribute to client projects and/or sales-related activities. Your tasks may involve simulation and emulation of production process flows (digital twins), designing mechanical, electrical, and safety solutions, or programming robots using Visual Components software, ABB RobotStudio, and OmniCore Controllers.

Regardless of your specific tasks, our goal is clear: to teach you how to handle real-world projects from initial briefing to final completion within agreed deadlines. And if everything goes as planned, this internship could be your gateway to a future career at ABB – just as it has been for many of us.

Your responsibilities:

• Simulation and emulation of flow through production processes (Digital twin)
• Active participation in mechanical, electrical and safety design in collaboration with colleagues and contractors
• Programming of robots.
