About KapiteinLabs

KapiteinLabs utilizes plasma technology to develop practical, low-emission solutions for air, water, and CO₂. As a Product Development Intern, you’ll support the team by helping test prototypes, collecting data, and contributing to ongoing projects. You’ll gain hands-on experience and learn how product development happens in a start-up.

What You’ll Do

You will support our multidisciplinary team in:

• Designing and implementing the interface that transforms an advanced electrical-plasma system into a finished, user-oriented product.
• Testing and validating electrical systems and components according to applicable standards (NEN, IEC, ISO).
• Troubleshooting and resolving technical and electrical issues.
• Ensuring safety compliance (ATEX, CE, and related product safety requirements).
• Preparing documentation, reporting results, and maintaining technical records.
• Collaborating with internal and external partners to bring innovative ideas into practical reality.

What Success Looks Like

You contribute to the creation of a new generation of plasma reactors, powered by a sophisticated electrical system.
You’ll help develop this technology from prototype to commercial product, taking ownership of:

• Electrical and system components integration.
• Compliance with safety and certification standards.
• Commissioning and testing of the final product.
  What You Bring
• A university bachelor’s degree (or equivalent level) in electrical engineering or systems engineering.
• Experience in industrial automation, embedded systems, or power electronics is highly valued.
• Familiarity with high-voltage systems is an advantage.
• Knowledge of relevant standards and regulations (e.g., NEN 1010, NEN 3140, EMC, CE).
• Ability to read and create electrical schematics using tools like EPLAN or AutoCAD Electrical.
• Independent, precise, and safety-conscious working style.
• Strong communication skills in Dutch and English.
