Would you like the opportunity to work in a global energy company?

Do you enjoy taking on challenging projects?

Join our innovating Internship Program

The Baker Hughes Internship is designed to enable students either pursuing a Bachelors’ or Masters’ degree or recently graduated to gain hands-on work experience as the foundation of their professional lives. Our internships will give you first-hand insights into the processes, systems, and practices that are aligned to ensure customer needs are met through flawless execution and the application of leading-edge technology.

Partner with the best

You’ll participate in focused training, and team meetings, work on projects, and present your results. During your internship, you will be supported by a buddy and your manager who will ensure you have a valuable learning experience. You can expect to receive coaching and mentoring to enable you to complete assignments and projects to develop your learning and skillset.

You will also have the opportunity to become familiar with the Health, Safety, and Environment (HS&E) and culture of Baker Hughes. as well as our strong commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.

We are offering an internship opportunity focused on the development of test protocols for characterization of degradation of polymeric materials applied in hydrogen technologies. The selected candidate will work on the design of experiments, identification of suitable characterization techniques, and data analysis directed at monitoring the degradation of several classes of polymeric materials (e.g., ion-exchange membranes, elastomeric sealings, thermoplastic composites). In parallel, the candidate will support the definition of test protocols, coordinate experimental results, and integrate findings with Root Cause Analysis (RCA) activities on AEM stack design.

This internship will provide hands-on experience in materials characterization, degradation analysis, and data-driven problem solving in the field of sustainable hydrogen technologies.

As an Intern, you will be responsible for:

• Support the development and optimization of test protocols for assessing degradation mechanisms in polymeric materials used in hydrogen applications
• Design and execute experimental plans for material characterization under relevant operating conditions
• Perform data collection, processing, and analysis from laboratory testing activities
• Utilize analytical and characterization techniques to evaluate material properties, performance, and aging behavior
• Support Root Cause Analysis (RCA) investigations related to material degradation and AEM stack performance
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams involved in materials development, electrochemistry, and stack engineering
• Contribute to technical reports, test procedures, data dashboards, and documentation of experimental results
• Assist in benchmarking material performance and identifying opportunities for performance and durability improvements

Qualifications:

• Currently pursuing a degree in Chemistry, Materials Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related field
• Basic knowledge of polymeric materials, electrochemistry, or hydrogen technologies is considered a plus
• Familiarity with laboratory characterization techniques and data analysis tools
• Knowledge of statistical analysis and Design of Experiments (DoE) methodologies is an advantage
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills
• Interest in advanced materials, degradation mechanisms, and sustainable energy technologies

What You'll Gain:

• Exposure to cutting-edge hydrogen and decarbonization technologies
• Hands-on experience with advanced materials characterization and degradation assessment methodologies
• Practical application of experimental design, data analysis, and Root Cause Analysis techniques
• Opportunity to work on innovative AEM electrolyzer technologies in a multidisciplinary engineering environment
• Experience collaborating with experts in materials science, electrochemistry, and product development

Fuel your passion

To be successful in this role you should meet the following criteria:

• Have a Master's degree in Chemistry, Materials Engineering, or related Engineering Disciplines
• Demonstrated academic excellence
• Passion for engineering with strong technical attitude and an analytical approach to problem solving
• Fluent in English (oral and written)
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
• Be able to legally work in the country that you are applying in, without company sponsorship or time restriction
