R&D Engineering Assistant in internship W/M

Weather plays an important role in agriculture. Sencrop, an international AgTech startup, provides all farmers with access to reliable, accurate and ultra-local agro-environmental data. This data - collected by our connected weather stations - is essential to optimise their operations and their environmental footprint.

Join Sencrop and participate in our product development with the project of a new measurement sensor: from market research to prototype testing.

YOUR MISSIONS...

You will join the HPLQ (Hardware Production Logistics and Quality) team and support our Hardware Product Owner in his tasks!

Your objective will be to develop a new high-performance measurement sensor, you will have to:

• Carry out an in-depth market study to investigate existing solutions and highlight best practices,
• Meet the customer's needs with an adapted solution by developing one or more prototypes: from the research of the solutions to their physical development,
• Test your solutions in real conditions to study their reliability,
• Ensure a competitive watch on measurement sensors.

Technical environment : 

Our products are intended for use by farmers in difficult conditions. Product robustness and resistance to extreme weather conditions are therefore essential. We use low power communication technologies such as LPWAN. Our products are autonomous, run on batteries, and the energy autonomy constraints are therefore strong. Finally, we are looking to incorporate a multitude of new measurement sensors, a market that is constantly changing. 

The main objective remains to be able in the medium term to send energy-independent products that are as robust as possible to any part of the world.

WHO ARE YOU? 

You are in the right place if:

• You are a student in mechatronics or electronics engineering and are looking for an end-of-study internship, 
• You are ready to work independently on the development of a hardware prototype, and have a first experience in this field,
• You speak a professional English in order to interact with the internal teams,
• Arduino and Python hold no secrets for you,
• You are comfortable with a 3D design tool and more generally with IT tools,
• You have a customer-centric approach with the aim of meeting customer needs,
• Having some knowledge in databases and creating web dashboards is appreciated.

Do you recognize yourself? Join the Sencrop adventure!

JOIN SENCROP!

Sencrop is a European ag-tech start-up company, based in Euratechnologies (Lille, France), Europe’s third largest startup accelerator.

15 000 farmers are using our connected ag-weather stations to receive ultra-local & reliable data. Sencrop makes it easy to decide the course of action farmers should take in any weather event & to make the right agronomic choices at the right time: crop protection / sowing / irrigation ...

Our mission is to make technology more accessible, using it to make the practice of agriculture more precise, more efficient, and more environmentally friendly. 

Positioned at the cutting edge of innovation in connected agriculture, Sencrop won the top award for its high-precision agrometeorological station and platform at the 2017 SIMA Innovation Awards ceremony.
