Stage - Industrial Design Defence

IHC

Kinderdijk
Part Time
Posted on: August 5 2026

IHC Defence ontwikkelt innovatieve systemen die bijdragen aan de bescherming van Nederlandse belangen op zee. In deze projecten brengen we decennialange expertise uit offshore, baggeren en onderwatertechnologie samen met nieuwe toepassingen binnen het defensiedomein. Voor een van onze lopende ontwikkeltrajecten zijn wij op zoek naar een Industrieel Ontwerper die wil bijdragen aan de ontwikkeling van een innovatief maritiem systeem.

Als Industrieel Ontwerper maak je deel uit van een multidisciplinair ontwerpteam dat werkt aan het conceptontwerp en de ontwikkeling van prototypes. Je zorgt ervoor dat gebruikerservaring, functionaliteit en vormgeving vanaf het begin een volwaardige plek krijgen in het ontwerpproces en je hebt de ruimte om jouw ideeën daadwerkelijk terug te zien in het eindresultaat.

Jouw rol:

  • Analyseren en verbeteren van bestaande conceptontwerpen vanuit gebruikers-, systeem- en ontwerp-perspectief;
  • Ontwikkelen van voorstellen die de gebruikerservaring, functionaliteit en prestaties van het systeem verbeteren;
  • Maken van aanpassingen aan het ontwerp op het gebied van vormgeving en uitstraling;
  • Samenwerken met verschillende disciplines binnen het project, zoals engineering, uitvoering en projectmanagement.

Deze stage biedt volop ruimte om eigen initiatief te tonen en verbeterideeën direct in de praktijk te brengen.

Wie ben jij?

  • Je volgt het IDE Master Graduation Project aan de TU Delft;
  • Je hebt affiniteit met complexe technische of werktuigbouwkundige systemen;
  • Je bent analytisch, initiatiefvol en praktisch ingesteld;
  • Je werkt graag samen met verschillende disciplines;
  • Je bent communicatief vaardig in zowel Nederlands als Engels;
  • Je kunt zelfstandig werken en neemt verantwoordelijkheid voor je werkzaamheden;
  • Je bent beschikbaar vanaf september 2026.

Let op: Omdat dit Master programma plaatsvindt binnen IHC Defence is een veiligheidsscreening onderdeel van de procedure.

Wij bieden:

  • Een stagevergoeding van €652,- per maand (op basis van een fulltime stage);
  • Reiskostenvergoeding;
  • Ruimte om aan eventuele stageopdrachten of schoolvereisten te werken;
  • Intensieve begeleiding door ervaren professionals uit verschillende disciplines;
  • Een uitdagende en leerzame opdracht waarin je direct bijdraagt aan de toekomst van de maritieme industrie.
