Electrical Engineer Intern (all genders) in Amsterdam
Dott
Here at Dott, we believe in a future where our cities are free from cars and pollution. With our on-demand e-bikes and e-scooters, we want to help co-create liveable cities where space is given back to people. We dream of cities where it is easy to move from one place to another with less congestion and more socialisation. All work we do is to continue reaching for our mission, to free our cities with clean rides for everyone.
We have recently closed a financial transaction to merge with TIER. Together we create the European champion of shared micro-mobility, with revenues of €250m, supporting over 125M trips a year in more than 20 countries.
Intern, Full-time
Dott is one of the leading shared micro-mobility operators in Europe. We operate 60.000 e-scooter and e-bikes (6 different types) across 10 different countries. Within Dott the Vehicle Product team is constantly working on keeping vehicles up and running and improving the user experience, quality and safety of our fleet.
Part of this job is to maintain and improve the powertrains of our vehicles. Our vehicles suffer from lots of power and speed issues. On the other hand we are optimizing our vehicle efficiency and therefore the efficiency of our powertrain.
To be able to test fixes and to optimize the powertrain, a proper dynamometer (or dyno) is needed. Such a device will let us accurately measure the power and speed output of our vehicles while working on fixes or fine tuning of components. Dott wants to have a modular system that can work with both its current and future e-bikes and e-scooter models and can be deployed in all our key markets for operational teams to diagnose and fix issues, as well as in our R&D department. Today there are no (affordable) products on the market for e-scooters and e-bikes testing, nor are they modular.
The project for the internship will be to elevate the current prototype into a working dyno which will allow us to perform drivecycle testing for our scooters.
