Siemens Digital Industries Software is a leading provider of solutions for the design, simulation, and manufacture of products across many industries. From advanced materials and polymers to complex engineered systems, our software enables customers to innovate faster and more sustainably. We offer interns a role with real responsibility, autonomy, and the opportunity to contribute meaningfully within a collaborative, international team.
Start your career with the Strategic Student Program (SSP)
The Strategic Student Program is Siemens Software's global internship program, managed by University Relations. As an SSP intern, you will gain meaningful, real-world work experience while developing professional and technical skills. Interns benefit from structured learning opportunities, performance evaluations, professional development workshops, access to the Siemens Learning Hub, and participation in a global student community and program events.
Team and project context
The Simcenter Culgi team develops advanced computational modeling solutions that support innovation in molecular sciences across industries, including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, specialty chemicals, and advanced materials. By combining molecular modeling, simulation, and scientific computing, the team enables customers to better understand molecular behaviour, accelerate research, and make more informed development decisions.
As pharmaceutical research increasingly relies on computational approaches to complement experimental work, molecular modeling plays an essential role in understanding molecular interactions, predicting molecular behaviour, and supporting the design and optimization of new therapeutic compounds and formulations. The team continuously explores new methodologies and workflows that improve simulation efficiency, scientific insight, and data-driven decision-making.
Project description
During this Strategic Student Program (SSP) internship, you will contribute to ongoing research and development activities within the Pharma Molecular Modeling team. Working alongside experienced scientists and software developers, you will support computational studies involving molecular simulations, data generation, analysis, and interpretation of simulation results.
Depending on the project focus and your academic background, you may contribute to molecular modeling workflows, coarse-grained simulations, computational chemistry studies, or machine learning-assisted approaches for molecular systems. You will assist with evaluating simulation methodologies, generating and analysing scientific data, and supporting research activities aimed at improving existing modeling workflows and accelerating scientific discovery.
This internship offers an excellent opportunity to apply academic knowledge to real-world industrial research while developing practical experience in computational chemistry and pharmaceutical molecular modeling. The project may also be aligned with a bachelor's or master's thesis, subject to university requirements and project scope.
What we are looking for
We are looking for master's students in Computational Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, Applied Mathematics, Bioinformatics, or a closely related field.
Key qualifications
Strong background in computational chemistry and molecular simulations.
Solid understanding of machine learning methods; experience with neural networks or graph-based models is preferred.
Interest in applying artificial intelligence techniques to scientific and engineering challenges.
Programming experience in Python.
Familiarity with coarse-grained modeling, molecular dynamics, quantum chemistry, or molecular modeling for pharmaceutical applications is an advantage.
Strong analytical mindset, curiosity, and problem-solving skills.
Good communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team.
Proficiency in English.
Strategic Student Program Netherlands – Conditions and Eligibility
The Siemens Strategic Student Program internship in the Netherlands has a duration of 5 months. Depending on university requirements and project alignment, the internship may be extended or combined with a bachelor's or master's thesis.
Internships within the Strategic Student Program in the Netherlands include a monthly internship allowance of €750 gross.
Compensation and Pay Transparency
Our internship program may be structured as either employment or contingent worker arrangements, depending on local legal requirements. The anticipated internship allowance for this opportunity is €750 gross per month, with the final amount determined based on relevant experience, skills, and applicable market benchmarks. For contingent worker arrangements, individuals will be engaged and employed by a third-party provider, not Siemens, and therefore will not be eligible for Siemens employee benefits.
Eligibility
Both Dutch and international students enrolled at EU universities are eligible.
Both curricular and extracurricular internships are accepted, subject to university regulations.
International students must hold a valid visa and/or work permit for the Netherlands; Siemens does not sponsor or facilitate visa or permit processes.
Why work at Siemens Software?
We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at Siemens Software. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability.
Transform the everyday and shape the future of your career with us
At Siemens Digital Industries Software, students work on real projects that matter. You will collaborate with experts across disciplines, contribute to innovative technology, and build a strong professional foundation while making a tangible impact for our customers.
