Internship Wiper System Design Optimization

Robert Bosch Produktie N.V., located in Tienen, Belgium, is the worldwide center of competence for the development, engineering, and manufacturing of wiper blades within the Bosch Group. Our customers include both original equipment automotive car manufacturers and aftermarket customers. As part of the Bosch strategy, we offer students the opportunity to participate in an internship at our location. 

We are excited to offer a Paid Internship focused on the "Water Pull Back" phenomenon during wiping. This internship provides a unique opportunity to develop solutions, from initial ideas through simulation, prototyping, and testing, in a dynamic and innovative environment. As an intern, you will work closely with our experienced design department, which will support you throughout your internship! 

If you are looking for a position where you can take initiative, learn, and bring added value in an industrial environment, you are the student we are looking for. The internship will ideally last 6 months and will be fulltime.    

• Identify and analyze, in close collaboration with the design & simulation team, the influencing factors and design principles for reducing water pull back in wiper systems. 

• Conduct experimental validation of the proposed design principles to ensure their effectiveness in reducing water pull back. 

• Document findings and provide recommendations for design features that can be implemented in future generations of wiper systems 

• Bachelor's/Master's student in Aeronautical/Mechanical Engineering or a related field. Please note that you must be an active student to be considered for this internship or take part in an Erasmus+ program. 

• Strong analytical skills and a solid background in aerodynamics and experimental techniques. 

• IT Competencies: CAD (NX preferred), MATLAB 

• Proficient in English (written and spoken). 

The internship requires that you have the nationality of a EU-country. 

The personal experience of the interns is usually the following: The company employs 10-15 interns all year round from various countries. Therefore this is also a great opportunity to enhance your social and language skills. The interns live mostly in Tienen or in Leuven, known as a multicultural university city. You receive 800 € as expense reimbursement per month.
