Physics Summer Placement
If you are a sixth form student please apply here.
Our Physics/Scientific-based summer placement involves working on live projects under the mentorship of our senior engineers. The work could be in any phase of the product development process including:
- Initial product and technology research
- New product design stages
- Continued engineering and maintenance of our established product lines
If you are interested in seeing first-hand how physics principles are applied to real physical and optical problems in engineering, this is an exciting opportunity to experience working in pioneering technologies in the design and development of innovative, world-leading, products. You will also have the opportunity to connect with people working in the business and discuss your career ambitions and ideas with employees in similar roles.
Opportunities are available for placements between 6 and 12 weeks.
What will I be doing?
You could be:
- Setting up and collecting data to establish whether a new idea is worth pursuing
- Assembling a test rig to verify manufactured parts for an existing or newly developed product
- Aligning optical systems (many of our technologies are optically based and use lasers)
Typically, collection and analysis of data and operation of test rigs is computer controlled using specialist software, some of which you may need to develop yourself.
Where will I be working?
This role is based out of Renishaw's Edinburgh site in Riccarton (Research Park North).
What skills and qualifications do I need?
Ideally you will be studying Physics or Maths at university or at sixth form.
