Context

Within the Software Team, OceanWings is offering a Machine Learning Engineer internship (end-of-studies level) focused on artificial intelligence applied to the OceanWings® wind propulsion system.

You will contribute to the modeling, prediction, and optimization of wing performance through data-driven and hybrid (physics + AI) approaches.

Main Missions

Your missions will include the following:

Technical Discovery & Collaboration

Discover the OceanWings® technology and understand the challenges related to wing performance modeling.

Collaborate closely with the performance team to explore data and review relevant scientific literature.

Research & Development

Work on one or more focus areas:

Develop time series forecasting models for wing performance prediction.

Enhance vessel performance analysis using machine learning methods.

Improve physics-based simulations with ML-enhanced models.

Optimize data pipelines and ensure the robustness of model integration and monitoring.

Document methodologies, model architectures, and technical choices.

Profile & Skills

Education: 5-year engineering degree (Master’s level) with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning.

Experience: Hands-on experience developing end-to-end AI projects.

Technical skills:

Strong proficiency in Python and ML frameworks such as scikit-learn, PyTorch, or TensorFlow.
