We are looking for an Automation Engineer intern (W/M) to join the HTS (High Temperature Superconductors) department, which is responsible for the development and production of high-temperature superconductors, key components in the operation of fusion reactors.

In this context, we are developing thin film deposition machines incorporating roll-to-roll systems for the continuous production of HTS superconducting tapes.

As an Automation Engineer intern, you will be involved in the design, improvement and automation of a roll-to-roll system used in thin film deposition machines dedicated to the production of HTS superconductors.

We are offering a six-month end-of-studies internship starting in February 2026.

Your main responsibilities

• Analysis of the existing roll-to-roll system (mechanical architecture, kinematics, performance)

• Mechanical design and improvement of the system (reliability, precision, repeatability, maintenance)

• Participation in the automation of the system (sensors, actuators, unwinding/rewinding control)

• Optimisation of operating parameters for HTS tape production

• Prototyping, testing and validation of proposed solutions

• Drafting of technical documentation and test reports

Requirements

Please do not hesitate to apply even if you don't meet all our requirements. Superheroes do not exist - but people with passion and talent do!

• Engineering diploma or master's degree specialising in: Automation/industrial systems, Mechanical engineering, Mechatronics or equivalent field

• Interest in automated systems and production machinery

• Practical mindset, rigour and autonomy

• An interest in cutting-edge technologies (energy, superconductivity, nuclear fusion) is a plus

Languages

• English (C1)

• French (B1 or more) is nice to have

Technical skills
