Are you interested in a placement at a world top 100 university, working with some of the biggest names in Engineering? A year long placement is a great opportunity for students to increase their employability through hands-on experience.
We have an exciting opportunity in the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre for someone with a passion for engineering who is looking to use their skills in manufacturing to make an impact on UK productivity.
Involvement in the Factory 2050 Integrated Manufacturing project is a fantastic opportunity to influence the way products are being manufactured and to develop innovative solutions towards industrial problems in the UK. You will deal directly with some of the most advanced technologies and companies in the world, such as Airbus, Rolls-Royce, BAE Systems, Spirit AeroSystems, and GKN Aerospace, as well as diverse industries beyond aerospace.
As an Assistant Project Engineer, you will work alongside Project Engineers, Technical Leads, and others on a diverse range of projects. You will work with cutting edge technology to solve real problems, dealing directly with customers and other external stakeholders, and occasionally travelling to visit suppliers and partner companies.
You are expected to:
o Control systems and Software
o Networks and connectivity
o AR/VR development (Unity)
o Digital twins
o Software development and script-based programming e.g. Python, Java, C++/C#, or other
o Cyber security
The University of Sheffield AMRC builds on the success of the original Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre with Boeing, creating a cluster of industry-focused manufacturing R&D centres and supporting facilities. The AMRC with Boeing, established in 2001, has grown to become a world-leading centre of advanced machining and materials research for aerospace and other high-value sectors. It has around 100 industrial members, from global giants such as Rolls-Royce, BAE Systems, and Airbus, to local Small Medium Enterprises (SME).
About the University
We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK. The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.
