Internship Data Science & AI | Hoofddorp

At De Voogt Naval Architects, we are responsible for the design, basic engineering, and all calculations required to build custom superyachts. We are the technical and creative heart of Feadship, and the home of all research and development.

As an intern, you will make a meaningful contribution to this. Whether it’s structural design, mechanical engineering, or naval architecture, your work will involve precision, calculation, and problem-solving, powered by both insight and ingenuity. Will you help turn dreams into reality?

Feadship builds the world’s most exclusive superyachts. Every day, we work on technically cutting-edge projects where innovation and custom design go hand in hand. The amount of available data from our fleet is growing rapidly, and so are the opportunities to generate valuable insights for design and engineering, through machine learning and AI.

Within our Knowledge and Innovation team, we are looking for a curious and analytically strong intern who wants to work with real datasets from our Feadship fleet, with a focus on operational sensor data. Together, we will explore how AI can accelerate the analysis of operational data from our fleet and strengthen our analytical capabilities.
