Are you a student passionate about being part of an exciting technical startup? Then we have the perfect opportunity for you! We are seeking a curious and committed intern to support us in developing a machine that can handle our innovative Paint'R bags during the filling process.

Who are we?

Paint'R is a startup founded by three DTU engineers who have created an innovative solution for the paint industry. We challenge the traditional paint bucket with our sustainable and more practical packaging, which reduces CO2 emissions and optimizes transport. Through this, we save about 65% in CO2 emissions and make everyday life easier for painters. We collaborate with several paint manufacturers who, in connection with the implementation of our solution, are requesting machines to handle large-scale filling of our packaging.

What will you be working on?

The goal of the project is to develop a machine that can handle Paint'R bags from a roll format, place them for filling, and seal them after air removal. You will work closely with Johan, our CTO, who will be your mentor and guide throughout the project. It is important to emphasize that you will have a great deal of autonomy and the opportunity to influence the direction of the project. We believe that the best solutions are created through freedom and responsibility.

Your tasks will include:

• Initial research of similar concepts

• Customer contact to understand their needs

• Designing and implementing solutions for handling and filling bags

• Developing and optimizing sealing processes

• Communication with PLC systems and backend equipment

  
  

What can we offer?

• A unique opportunity to work in an innovative startup with a strong focus on sustainability

• A hands-on experience with significant influence on the project's direction

• Access to mentoring and guidance from experienced professionals

• A flexible work environment in Allerød, DTU Science Park, and possibly at DTU Skylab.

  
  

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for a student who:

• Is eager to work on technical product development

• Is curious and can think outside the box

• Has experience with automation, machine design, or similar (an advantage, but not required)

• Is independent and can take responsibility for their tasks

  
  

Practical Information

• Workload: Full-time (37 hours/week), other setups (e.g. 10 ECTS points) might also be an option.

• Duration: One semester, or similar, with the possibility of extension to a student position.

• Location: Allerød, DTU Science Park, or DTU Skylab
