R&D Electronics & Software Engineering Intern

Apply now for the position of R&D Electronics & Software Engineering Intern and gain hands-on experience supporting the development of the electronics and software that help control our superconducting MRI magnets.

You’ll join our R&D team at our Bicester site, the hub for developing innovative and sustainable MRI technology at Siemens Healthineers Magnet Technology.

Working alongside experienced engineers, you’ll contribute to real engineering projects involving the electronics, software and control systems that support our superconducting MRI magnets.

This 12-month internship placement will give you the opportunity to apply what you have learned during your degree in a real-world engineering environment. You’ll carry out practical design and development work, analyse results and contribute to projects that can make a meaningful difference to our products and manufacturing operations.

What you’ll be doing:

• Work as part of our R&D Engineering team to support the design and development of control electronics and software for superconducting magnets.
• Take ownership of projects focused on improving existing designs, processes and ways of working.
• Carry out design work and practical experiments, analyse your results and use your findings to inform engineering decisions.
• Share your findings and recommendations through technical reports, presentations and discussions with colleagues.
• Support our manufacturing teams on the factory floor, helping to investigate and resolve engineering challenges.
• Work with our customer support teams where required, helping to investigate technical issues and identify solutions.
• Collaborate with engineers and colleagues across different disciplines, gaining exposure to different areas of the product development and manufacturing process.

Alongside your day-to-day role, you’ll take part in our 12-month Intern Development Programme, designed to help you develop broader professional skills including communication, teamwork and commercial awareness. This reflects the development programme language used across your other FY27 intern adverts.

You will be based at our Bicester site, working primarily with our R&D teams based there. As part of your role, you may also have occasional opportunities to visit our Eynsham facility and work with colleagues across the wider Magnet Technology business.

Work Experience

You will be an undergraduate student studying towards a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Electronics, Robotics, Software Engineering or a related subject, and completing a 12-month industrial placement or sandwich year as part of your degree.

You’ll also:

• Have an interest in electronics, software and engineering and be keen to apply your knowledge in a real-world environment.
• Have good analytical, problem-solving and reasoning skills.
• Be curious and willing to learn new technologies, tools and engineering approaches.
• Be comfortable working both independently and as part of a team.
• Have good communication and interpersonal skills and be able to explain your work and ideas clearly.
• Bring a proactive approach, take ownership of your work and contribute ideas to the team.
• Previous industry experience isn’t essential. What’s most important is your interest in engineering, willingness to learn and enthusiasm for getting involved in real technical challenges.

You must also have eligibility to work in the UK for the duration of the internship (Summer 2027–Summer 2028), as we are unable to offer sponsorship for internship roles.

Benefits

• 26 days' holiday with the option to buy or sell an additional 5 days
• Up to 10% employer pension contribution
• Share and bonus scheme
• Access to our flexible benefits from private medical insurance to dental cover
