A sustainable, profitable, and enjoyable future for dairy farmers by combining robotization, engineering, and farming expertise. This is what we believe in.
This journey began over 75 years ago with the dream of two brothers in Maassluis. Since then, we have become an innovative global leader in automated systems for dairy farmers worldwide. With 2,300 specialized professionals, we continuously work on new agricultural revolutions. We still do this from our Campus in Maassluis, the building with the highest achievable sustainability standards in the Netherlands, while also operating around the world. Our goal is to ensure that dairy farming remains attractive for future generations.
Are you interested in distributed systems, data engineering, and complex technical challenges? During this internship, you will focus on researching and validating a legacy data storage and synchronization system within a real-world robotics environment. You will investigate how data is currently shared between multiple robots and a central server in situations where connectivity is not always reliable.
Rather than building an entirely new system, this internship focuses on analyzing existing technologies, protocols, and architectural patterns that can improve the robustness, consistency, and reliability of the current solution.
Your responsibilities include:
What does your workplace look like?
You will become part of an experienced engineering team with expertise in robotics, embedded systems, and software architecture. The working environment encourages collaboration, experimentation, and technical discussions. You will receive guidance from experienced colleagues while also having the freedom to independently explore and validate ideas.
You will work in both office and testing environments with access to real systems and robots. In addition, there is flexibility regarding hybrid and on-site working arrangements.
We are looking for an analytical and technically skilled intern who enjoys working on complex systems within an innovative robotics environment. You are curious, critical, and motivated to investigate and improve existing technologies.
To be considered for this internship, you meet the following requirements:
An educational and exciting experience at an international company driven by innovation. If you have questions, you can always turn to one of your colleagues who are just as passionate about their field. In addition, we offer you:

Something we do since 1948, in this year brothers Cornelis en Arij van der Lely introduced the finger wheel rake to the market. One of our first inventions that made a substantial change in the traditional way of working on the farm. There were many more innovations with only one purpose making agrarian life easier and working together for a sustainable, profitable and enjoyable future in the agricultural sector.
