Eindhoven is its primary technology location for Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), bringing together R&D, manufacturing, and service expertise. Thermo Fisher Scientific in Eindhoven\nTEM instruments use electrons to reveal structures at extremely small scales, supporting research in life sciences and materials science. This assignment explores how software can help engineers diagnose problems in these complex instruments more efficiently.\nBackground and objective\nService engineers use system logs, bug reports, calibration files, and technical procedures to investigate failures. This information is often spread across multiple sources, making diagnosis time-consuming and dependent on individual experience.\nThe objective is to develop and evaluate a software prototype that combines historical system data with service knowledge to suggest likely causes and useful diagnostic checks.\nResearch question\nHow can historical system data and service knowledge support faster and more reliable diagnosis of a selected TEM system problem?\nThe student will investigate which data sources are useful, compare suitable technical approaches, and measure the prototype’s value against the current diagnostic process.\nScope and approach\nThe project focuses on one failure mode or a closely related group of problems, such as an offline module or recurring performance issue.\nThe student will:\nAnalyse the current diagnostic process with service engineers.\nAssess and prepare relevant data and technical documentation.\nCompare approaches such as structured search, diagnostic rules, and an LLM-based assistant.\nBuild a prototype that provides diagnostic suggestions with supporting evidence.\nEvaluate diagnostic accuracy, diagnosis time, and usability using historical cases and engineer feedback.\nThe prototype is intended for internal evaluation. Predictive maintenance may be explored as an extension if sufficient degradation or failure data is available.\nDeliverables\nA research plan and assessment of available data.\nA working prototype with documented code and usage instructions.\nAn evaluation against the current diagnostic approach.\nA graduation thesis, final presentation, and recommendations for further development.\nIntern requirements\nWe are looking for a student who:\nIs enrolled in an HBO or WO Software Engineering programme and is ready to start a graduation assignment.\nHas programming experience, preferably in C#. Python is also acceptable.\nUnderstands software design, testing, and version control.\nCan analyse data and approach technical problems systematically.\nCan work independently and collaborate with software engineers and service specialists.\nCommunicates clearly in English, both verbally and in writing.\nAn interest in AI, machine learning, or information retrieval is welcome. Prior knowledge of electron microscopy is not required.\nApply today!","description_format":"text","description_chars":3360,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Diagnostic Tests & IVD","Clinical Trial Services (CRO)","CRO & CDMO Services","APIs & Drug Manufacturing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-31T23:45:42Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":7,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:junior,brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-06T05:58:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/thermo-fisher-scientific-software-engineering-ai-engineering-intern","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/thermo-fisher-scientific-software-engineering-ai-engineering-intern.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-06T13:17:53Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":24375,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":7922},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=7922"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fthermo-fisher-scientific-software-engineering-ai-engineering-intern"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fthermo-fisher-scientific-software-engineering-ai-engineering-intern"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fthermo-fisher-scientific-software-engineering-ai-engineering-intern"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/thermo-fisher-scientific-software-engineering-ai-engineering-intern\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fthermo-fisher-scientific-software-engineering-ai-engineering-intern"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3578181}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"thermofisher.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3578181},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
