Are you an MSc student in Mechanical Engineering with an interest in precision mechanics, dynamics and mechatronic system design? Do you want to work on a challenging motion system in which accuracy, speed, stiffness and control all come together? We are looking for you! Your assignment In high-end printing systems, the distance between the printheads and the paper (the printgap) must be maintained with very high accuracy to ensure print quality. At the same time, the system must be able to react quickly when a sheet shows excessive deformation, requiring a rapid upward movement of the printheads to prevent damage. Currently, these two functions—accurate gap setting and fast lifting—are handled separately. The goal of this assignment is to investigate and design a new concept in which a single mechanism can fulfil both functions. This introduces challenging requirements in terms of speed, accuracy, stiffness, load capacity, and travel range. You will explore how an existing short-stroke positioning system can be redesigned to support both precise positioning and high-speed actuation. You will develop a mechanical concept, including the drive system, stiffness and deformation behaviour, and tolerance aspects. In addition, you will analyse the dynamic performance of the system, including required speeds, accelerations and timing. You will also consider the mechatronic aspects, such as actuation principles and control strategies needed to achieve the desired performance. The result of the assignment is a well-substantiated system design that combines fast actuation with high positioning accuracy, while remaining feasible and cost-effective. Your profile You are an MSc student in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics or a related discipline You have affinity with precision mechanics, dynamics and motion systems You enjoy combining system thinking with detailed mechanical design You have experience with modelling, calculations and preferably simulation tools You are interested in mechatronic design, including actuation and control aspects What’s in it for you? A challenging assignment with skilled coaching Internship/ Graduation compensation of €500,- per month Travel cost compensation if you don’t have an ‘OV-weekcard’ The possibility to network with professionals inside and outside your field of expertise, thanks to our diversity of disciplines which you will work with Interested?

Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
