Mechatronics – Intern/Graduate

As an employer, we’re convinced that employees are the driving force in the organization, especially when they’re given the space to express their unique talent, and they’re committed to getting the best out of themselves. The same goes for our trainees and graduates.

At REV'IT! you will be working in a learning organization with fascinating issues. And that we are an internationally oriented company means for many students of course extra interesting insights. But the other way around, we can also learn from you. You bring new knowledge with you, as well as a fresh look.

We’re happy to share our knowledge with you, especially when it comes to our priorities: Design, Performance and Innovation. There’s the opportunity to either undertake an internship placement with us, or to graduate with us.

Are you critical? Do you set high standards for yourself? And do you have the passion to go full throttle? Then doing an internship with REV'IT! is a wonderful opportunity!

As a Mechatronics intern at REV’IT!, you’ll work within the R&I  / LAB department on the development and implementation of  a rain simulation setup to test garments on their waterproofing abilities.

During the development of our motorcycling apparel, we aim to simulate real-life use by thoroughly testing our garments in a lab setting. In order to benchmark to on-road use, we are in need of research, trial and error and a creative do-it-yourself approach to develop unique and tailormade machinery.

• The development of a practical setup to be handled by our LAB technicians and apparel developers to simulate the influence from a mild drizzle to a heavy rain shower on full garments.
• Ideation and brainstorm followed by achievable goals, clear design brief and a proof of concept
• Keeping the limitations of outdoor testing in mind whilst at the same time using the full potential to stimulate the apparel developers and LAB technicians to acquire objective data.
• Sourcing the elements needed to create a modular and flexible test setup.
• You will keep the modularity of the test setup in mind and will combine ‘of the shelf’ components with tailormade CAD designed (RHINO) elements.

• In CAD (RHINO) and where necessary supported by our in-house Engineering department you will develop specific elements to be constructed, 3d printed or otherwise manufactured.
• Investigating data acquisition tools (e.g. sensor, camera footage, etc.) and if found to be necessary developing and combining hardware (Arduino or alike) with software (Python, C++) to be able to show and report on the data acquired (UI design).
• Research what visual documentation tools are best used to communicate the data acquired and create solid test reports for connoisseurs and non-connoisseurs to review.
• Document the created test setup and operating manual in a clear protocol; eventually aiming to be incorporated in the daily routine of LAB testing.

As a Mechatronics intern at REV’IT!, you will love taking striking big-picture thinking into detailed, technical craftsmanship.

We expect:

• You’re currently studying a relevant education course (Mechatronics).
• Enthusiasm, creativity and analytical skills in your approach towards test setup development.
• Component sourcing capabilities and interest.
• A hands-on and trial-and-error mentality; not afraid of iterations.
• Problem-solving skills and the ability to adapt to specific use cases.

• Experience with sensors, electronics, Arduino and Python is preferred.
• Engineering capabilities and the ability to work with Rhino3D during the development.
• You are an independent worker and you quickly find your way in different processes within an organization.
• You are fluent in English, Dutch is a pre. 

Within REV’IT!, we embrace diversity. Currently, our team represents 15 different nationalities. Something we take great pride in! Because we work with so many different backgrounds to achieve our mission, our working language is English. That said, we are very proud of our Dutch roots.
