• Testing, validation, and system integration
• Supporting the development of real-world prototypes

You will take ownership of your own graduation project while working closely with our multidisciplinary engineering team.

• MSc student in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field
• Passion for embedded systems, electronics, and sensor technology
• Experience with microcontrollers is an advantage
• Experience with communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet, SPI, I²C, UART, RS-485, etc.) is a plus
• Hands-on, practical engineering mindset
• Fluent in English

• €800 monthly internship allowance
• A challenging graduation project with real impact
• Mentorship from experienced engineers and researchers
• The opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge technology
• Modern prototyping and testing facilities
• Flexible hybrid working arrangements where appropriate
• A collaborative, ambitious, and innovative team
• The possibility of a permanent position after successful completion of your internship

Your primary workplace will be Cupola XS , located in the iconic Koepel in Haarlem—a spectacular former prison transformed into a vibrant innovation campus where technology companies, entrepreneurs, students, and researchers work side by side. With its unique architecture, inspiring atmosphere, and thriving tech community, it is widely regarded as one of the most distinctive and inspiring places to work in the Netherlands.

Because this internship involves regular hardware development, laboratory work, and close collaboration with our engineering team, we strongly prefer candidates who live within commuting distance of our Haarlem office .

Please send us:

• Your CV
• A motivation letter explaining why you are interested in this internship and why you would like to join KapiteinLabs
• Your expected internship period and availability

We look forward to hearing from you and building the next generation of innovative technology together.
