Description of the Team/Project

Quandela’s R&D and production projects rely on specialised scientific and technical equipment. Better visibility into these resources, their current use and their availability will help teams plan projects, identify opportunities to share equipment and make informed purchasing decisions.

This internship aims to establish practical processes and tools to answer three questions: What equipment do we have? How is it being used? Could it meet the needs of upcoming projects?

The scope will focus on critical, high-value scientific and technical equipment with potential for shared use. The approach will first be developed and tested with selected pilot teams before

Your Key Responsibilities

Working directly with the Project Coordinator and technical equipment owners within the CTPO’s scope, you will contribute to the following activities:

1. Understand Current Practices and Needs

• Meet with teams to understand how they use equipment, their constraints and their information needs.

• Review existing inventories, data sources and tools.

• Recommend a pilot scope and implementation priorities.

2. Build a Shared Equipment Register

• Define an equipment classification and the information needed for effective tracking, including identification, relevant specifications, location, equipment owner, operational status and project allocation.

• Collect, consolidate and improve the reliability of equipment data within the pilot scope, with support from technical teams.

• Identify constraints affecting equipment sharing, relocation or use.

3. Define Equipment Tracking and Allocation Processes

• Propose simple processes for registering new equipment and tracking changes in location, status and allocation.

• Define how to record current equipment use and anticipated project needs.

• Establish a process for checking existing equipment before initiating a new purchase.

• Clarify responsibilities for contributing, validating and updating information.

4. Implement and Test Supporting Tools

• Assess solutions available within Quandela’s existing environment and recommend an approach suited to users’ needs.

• Configure the selected tools and introduce simple automation where useful.

• Test the approach on practical use cases with pilot teams and refine it based on their feedback.

5. Support Adoption and Prepare the Handover

• Create clear user guides and process documentation.

• Support users and organise the handover to the designated process and equipment owners.

• Recommend a roadmap for extending the approach to additional teams.

Technical specifications and equipment suitability for reassignment will be validated by the relevant experts. You will receive guidance on project scope, methodology, tool selection and stakeholder coordination.

Expected Outcomes

By the end of the internship, the objective is to deliver:

• A reliable, usable equipment register covering the pilot scope.

• Equipment tracking and data maintenance processes agreed with the participating teams.

• A tested method for matching project needs with existing equipment.

• Documentation and recommendations to support continued use and a broader rollout.

• Currently pursuing an engineering degree or a master’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Operations Management, Technical Project Management or a related field.

• Interest in process improvement and scientific or industrial environments.

• Ability to structure, analyse and maintain reliable data.

• Strong organisational skills, attention to detail and curiosity.

• Ability to communicate with colleagues from different technical and professional backgrounds.

• A practical approach to problem-solving, taking users’ needs and constraints into account.

• Professional working proficiency in English, both written and spoken.

Previous experience in a laboratory or industrial environment would be an advantage. Familiarity with databases, collaborative tools or simple automation would also be beneficial. Prior expertise in quantum computing is not required.

• Swile Card (meal vouchers)

• 50% participation in transportation costs

• Possibility of remote work
• Internship Allowance between €1,200 and €1,400 per month

• 1,5 days off per month, cumulative
