Internships
[/vc_column_text]

SCS takes on a number of interns per year. These internships range from 10 weeks in the summer to 6 months placements. They can have academic themes such as Master thesis placements and project themes to gain experience in Industry.
Internship: (Digital) Marketing & Communications Management
Master Thesis: Design and characterization of a mechatronic positioning device
Review of former interns at Sensor Coating Systems
Alexandre A., Engineering student 2nd year, Cambridge University, UK, (2018)
‘Sensor Coating Systems (SCS) is a company that develops temperature-sensing technologies. During my time there, I worked on a project to improve the existing instrumentation. It involved circuit design, programming and testing. Throughout the project, I encountered both new discoveries (For me) and successes but at the same time, faced technical issues and failures. I worked under the supervision of an instrumentation engineer who shared insightful advice at each step of the project.
SCS allowed me to learn about their technologies and to use the skills taught at the university. I could make use of the theory learned. I was not restricted to working on only a project but also engaged in discussions with experienced engineers, made presentations and performed various minor tasks. In the end, I would say that SCS was the perfect environment for an intern like me who was unsure of which path to take; it definitely helped me make a step forward in my career.’
Lianne D., Engineering student 2nd year, Cambridge University, UK, (2018)
‘In Summer 2018, I carried out a 12-week internship at SCS where I mainly worked in the paint development sector. It provided me with a great opportunity not only to work with cutting-edge technology and innovative equipment, but also to appreciate how a small, but constantly expanding, company like SCS operates. A great benefit of working in a company of this size is that I got to execute a whole range of tasks, including producing and applying their thermal history paint, heat treating samples in furnaces and even assisting in an intellectual property patent search. It was also enjoyable being part of such a multi-cultural team that are always eager to help each other out, making it a very friendly and highly motivating environment to work in.
Thank you once again to you and the team at SCS’
Alexandre G., BSc Business Administration, Otto-Friedrich University of Bamberg, Ger, (2016)
‘Im Sommer 2016 habe ich für fast vier Monate ein Praktikum bei SCS absolviert. Es hat Spaß gemacht, ein Teil dieses jungen, internationalen und sehr freundlichen Teams zu sein. Da die Firma relativ klein ist, bekommt man einen guten Einblick in den Arbeitsalltag und die verschiedenen Herausforderungen, die einem Start-Up begegnen.
Meine Aufgabe war es, ein Marketing Konzept zu entwickeln und Teile davon anschließend zu implementieren. Ich hatte Freiheiten beim Arbeiten und konnte meine eigenen Ideen einbringen, und habe zusätzlich bei den wöchentlichen Wrap-up Meetings Verbesserungsvorschläge und Hilfestellungen erhalten, was es mir ermöglicht hat, vieles bei SCS zu lernen. Zusammenfassend kann ich ein Praktikum in London bei SCS jedem sehr weiterempfehlen.’
Fiona S., engineering student, 4th year, Darmstadt TU, Ger, (2016)
‘This summer I did a six month internship at SCS in London for my study of mechanical engineering. I enjoyed working in a friendly and supportive team and got an interesting insight and deep understanding of the company’s own special technology of temperature sensing coatings. During my work I was able to improve my skills in laboratory work and learned new examination methods and on top improved my English.
Besides working at SCS I also recommend to stay in London because of many interesting sights and events to visit and it is a great experience to live in a city with an intercultural living together like London.’
Tobias L., economics student, 4th year, Frankfurt a.M., Ger, (2015)
“In May and June 2015 I undertook an internship at this young, dynamic start-up in the heart of London, located in the incubator of the Imperial College London. During this time I was part of a highly motivated, friendly, international team. The company develops a highly innovative and powerful temperature detection technology which can be used in the aerospace, power generation and automotive areas.
Especially in meetings, interns gain an interesting insight into the daily work and methods of a wide range of disciplines. The main task during this internship was to contact potential customers with the aim to find new applications and evaluating the market potential of the technology. To have an idea about the technology, one can use it and do some measurements in the lab.
I had a great time in London and can highly recommend doing an internship in London at this company!”
Edgar S.-J., engineering student, 3rd year, Cambridge University, UK, (2014)
‘Working at SCS for eight weeks has been a hugely educational experience for me. It was my first experience in a working environment at the cutting edge of technology. The hands-on nature of the work and the feeling that you are creating something that is solving real-world problems is extremely fulfilling, and not something that can be provided at university.
The work I was involved in developed my knowledge in many areas, such as programming, electronics, optics, and thermodynamics. The learning was tied up in one overarching project, rather than separate exercises that you get in the academic world. SCS is an extremely friendly environment to work in, and through meetings and presentations, you learn about what everyone else on the team is working on.
I think any student interested in science, engineering or technology would benefit from an internship at SCS; the experience of how scientific problems are tackled in the enterprise world is invaluable.’
Educational Placements

We work with the best academic higher education institutions in the UK (e.g. Imperial College of London, Cranfield University, Cambridge University) and selected universities around Europe to give students an opportunity to start their career and improve their CVs.

“Writing my master thesis in a company like Sensor Coating Systems adds a huge value”
