Research and Development
Test Engineer Intern (HQ, Finland)
As a Test Engineer Intern, you will work on the Wafer Tester Temperature Studies project to improve the performance of Vaisala’s production test system for humidity and temperature sensors at the sensor factory. Your tasks include documenting the current temperature measurement capability, identifying and implementing improvements, and developing and validating a prototype to ensure production quality. You will use 3D modeling tools to analyze the system, pinpoint areas for improvement, and execute a plan. We are looking for a master’s student in Mechanical Engineering with an understanding of physics and thermodynamics, skills in SolidWorks simulation and SolidWorks Flow Simulation, 3D modeling and rapid prototyping, and the ability to create clear technical documentation.
Natural Sciences or Technology Intern (HQ, Finland)
As a Natural Sciences or Technology Intern, you will work on the Sensor Stability vs Visual Appearance: Correlation Analysis project. Your role is to investigate how the visual appearance of newly developed sensors relates to their performance under harsh conditions, combining hands-on testing with data analysis. Tasks include planning and running stability tests, examining sensors using microscopy, applying statistical analysis to explore correlations, and summarizing findings into clear recommendations for factory visual inspection criteria. We are looking for a master’s student in chemistry, physics, materials science, data science, or a related field, who is comfortable working in a laboratory environment.
Digital Prototype Testing Intern (HQ, Finland)
As a Digital Prototype Testing Intern, you will work on the Digital Prototype Testing with Simulation Tools project at Vaisala in Finland. Your role is to explore how digital simulation can replace or reduce physical prototype testing by building and validating a simulation model for vibration and thermal performance of a selected Vaisala product. Deliverables include a report and recommendations for integrating simulation-based testing into the hardware development process. We are looking for a student with a background in mechanical engineering, physics, or a similar field. Skills in CAD modeling and simulation tools (such as SolidWorks Simulation) are highly desirable, and an interest in experimental validation and data analysis is a plus.
Scientist Intern (HQ, Finland)
As a Scientist Intern, you will work on the Concept of Testing Packaged Infrared Sources and Detectors in Production project at Vaisala’s HQ in Vantaa as part of the Giant Leap program. Your role is to design and develop a concept for a tester that enables functional testing of packaged infrared sources and detectors and validate the concept by demonstrating key measurements in the lab. By the end of the summer, you will deliver a validated concept and recommendations for integrating the tester into production. We are looking for a master’s student in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Optics, Photonics, or a related field. A good understanding of optics and electronics is essential.
