Job Description

Student Assistants from various engineering backgrounds for AI exploration across disciplinary departments at Novo Nordisk Engineering

If you’re energised by exploring the possibilities of AI and thrive on turning new ideas into practical solutions, we’d love to hear from you!

Who we are

We are a leading pharma engineering company shaping the future of API pharma engineering globally. Leveraging the expertise of 2,000+ employees across Denmark, India, and the US, we design, build and optimise pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities that are essential to the health and well-being of patients everywhere.

Our success is driven by passion, innovation, and collaboration — with our customers and across our teams and disciplines. If you share our dedication to a noble cause and our passion for API pharma engineering, then NNE is the place for you.

About the role

We are looking for Student Assistants to support AI exploration across our engineering disciplines. You will have the opportunity to work across engineering discipline departments, including Facility Design, Mechanical Design, Process Design, Electrical & Instrumentation Design and Health & Safety Design.

As part of this initiative, you will collaborate with other student assistants and work closely with management and specialists within the different engineering disciplines. Your contribution will be important in exploring how data and AI can support and enhance the way we design and review pharmaceutical facilities.

The role gives you the opportunity to apply what you are learning about AI in your studies to real-world engineering challenges. At the same time, you will gain insight into how pharmaceutical facilities are designed and constructed and explore how AI-assisted approaches can support NNE's engineering work.
