The Shoal Internship program offers a 12 week, paid internship for two undergraduate, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) students to join our team in Adelaide. We seek students with a thirst for curiosity and a passion for learning. Shoal interns are given a ‘project’ to work on together. You will use Model Based Systems Engineering or Modelling, Simulation and Analysis to investigate your project, and will be guided and supported along the way.

Each year, we select a new project. To provide you with an idea, here are examples of projects that interns have investigated in the past:

• A pumped hydro scheme at Lake Onslow in New Zealand learning about renewable power and the role of systems engineers in infrastructure
• Exploring Earth observation data to solve problems for Australian industry
• Modelling and simulation of aerospace vehicles to verify flight data.

The intern team is supported to develop and deliver concise and impactful presentations to help formalise the project and build on presentation their skills.

Our interns are encouraged to think about their development goals and engage with Shoal more broadly. You will have weekly one-on-one mentoring sessions with team members from across the company, from our CEO to senior technical leadership and recent graduates.

Application process

We undertake a competitive selection process, challenging students to team up with a partner to pitch their ideas in a video application. The video must address the internship question (we create a new question for each application year – refer below). Your video can be filmed on your phone, must be no longer than 60 seconds and use very minimal edits (we want to focus on your response, not editing skills).

Alongside the video, you will also need to submit your Curricula Vitae (one per team member), and a one page cover letter (one per team) that introduces each partner and your complementary skill set as a team.

Applications open mid-year.
