At Sonion we believe in the importance of investing in new talent. We want to introduce students to an environment where they are given responsibility and the freedom to develop their skills. In Hoofddorp you will join approx. 100 of our colleagues as we design new products for the hearing health and pro audio market. Whether you prefer doing CAD work for injection molded parts, designing tools for new problems that arise during development or helping further our inhouse 3D printing capabilities, Sonion can find a fit for your skillset. We offer internship positions every semester and are always on the lookout for new talent to join our team.

The recently established Modeling and Simulation Department at Sonion has a young and rapidly growing team with the goal to model and design innovative products for the hearing aid and pro-audio industry, such as miniaturized loudspeakers and other transducers used also in many modern consumer electronics products like smart phones, ear buds, tablets. In case of hearing aids, transducers are the main active components, and their behavior is crucial for the hearing aid performance. Therefore, a good dynamic model able to predict the behavior of the transducer under different conditions is required in order to test new designs, optimize the sound quality and reduce the product size.

The Business Analyst’s role is to capture market, customer and competitor information and convert these into insights and recommendations for the organization and support the development and validation of Sonion’s value propositions and product development decisions of Product Management, R&D and Sales. The Business Analyst is part of Sonion’s Product Management & Strategy team, reporting to the VP of Product Management & Strategy, and will be based in our office in Hoofddorp, Netherlands

Project Scope The primary objective of this graduation project is to develop a versatile tool that can effectively estimate fugitive emissions from FPSOs and help manage their impact. This aligns with findings from IPCC reports indicating significant contributions of fugitive emissions to overall greenhouse gases in offshore operations (Source: IPCC, 2021, "Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis"). The tool should be able to generate estimates at two stages of the FPSO’s life cycle: Early Stage Estimation: At the very beginning of FPSO projects, when limited information is available. This will allow for preliminary assessments of fugitive emissions and early identification of potential mitigation measures. Detailed Estimation: At the end of FPSO projects, when comprehensive engineering databases are complete with details of the FPSO’s equipment, including valves, flanges, pipes, and seals. This will allow for more accurate estimates of fugitive emissions and a better understanding of their sources. The tool should be data-driven and utilize relevant information sources, such as industry standards, equipment specifications, and historical data from similar FPSOs. It should also consider factors such as the type of FPSO, its age, equipment configuration, operating conditions, and maintenance practices. Timeline The following timeline is proposed for completing the graduation project. This is to be further agreed with the student: Month 1-2: Literature Review and Tool Design     Conduct a comprehensive literature review on fugitive emissions from FPSOs.     Identify relevant data sources and methodologies for estimating fugitive emissions.     Design the structure and functionality of the tool. Month 3-5: Tool Development and Data Collection     Develop the code for the tool using appropriate programming languages.     Collect relevant data from SBM Offshore’s engineering databases and industry sources.     Integrate the collected data into the tool. Month 6-7: Tool Testing and Refinements     Conduct testing of the tool using historical data from similar FPSOs.     Refine the tool’s algorithms and parameters based on testing results.     Document the tool’s development and methodology. Month 8: Dissertation Writing and Presentation     Write a comprehensive dissertation on the development and evaluation of the tool.     Present the findings of the project to SBM Offshore and relevant industry stakeholders. Requirements The ideal candidate for this graduation project should possess the following qualifications: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills Ability to conduct independent research and literature reviews Proficient in programming languages (e.g., Python, R) Familiarity with data analysis tools (e.g., Excel, Tableau) Experience with technical databases Creativity and ability to generate new proposals Benefits The completion of this graduation project will provide the student with valuable experience in: Applying data-driven analysis to solve real-world problems Developing tools and methodologies for estimating fugitive emissions Contributing to SBM Offshore’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions Enhancing their professional profile and employability Call for Action This graduation project provides an exciting opportunity for a student to gain hands-on experience in developing a tool to estimate fugitive emissions from FPSOs. The project aligns with SBM Offshore’s commitment to net-zero emissions and offers the potential for significant contributions to the company’s sustainability goals.
