About the placement
This internship is with Komatsu and is facilitated by the CSIRO's Generation STEM Links program.
In this internship you will work as part of Komatsu's R&D team on an exploratory project using camera data to better understand mining rock face properties for the MC51 mining machine.
You'll gain experience across the full research cycle, from site visits and image capture, to analysis, testing ideas, and presenting results. The project is exploratory, so the focus is on learning, research, and developing a framework for future use. Along the way, you'll build technical and communication skills, engage with different teams, and learn how real-world engineering challenges are approached in industry.
Work arrangements

Desired capabilities
- Currently studying a Bachelor of Electrical or Mechatronic engineering (penultimate or final year).
- Interest in research, problem solving, and applying engineering concepts in practice.
- Comfortable communicating with different teams and proactive in reaching out for information.
- A team player who enjoys learning, sharing ideas, and participating in workplace activities.
- Technical skills in Python preferred.
- MATLAB, or LabVIEW skills are a bonus, but not essential.

About the industry partner
Komatsu mining is a division that produces and supports mining machinery and is primarily made up of P&H and Joy Mining Machinery. Joy Mining Machinery has been around for over a century, with Joseph Francis Joy launching the company in Milwaukee in 1920 after securing a patent for his groundbreaking mining device. The company has since evolved into a major manufacturer of underground mining equipment, consistently innovating to mechanize and advance the mining industry.
