Feeling overwhelmed by the idea of securing an industrial placement? Eager to land an engineering internship that will elevate your industry knowledge? Look no further! Hercules Cambridge is thrilled to present our very own careers talk, taking place online at 14:00 on 17th Feb, with the possibility of an in-person session if you all show keen interests (location TBD)!

Our alumni come from a variety of backgrounds. Alex just completed her internship and received a return offer from Tesla; Nancy had a trick up her sleeve when it comes to tailoring CVs and got her job offer in games; Finn…well let’s just say his researches and projects on materials, manufacturing, and innovative products ultimately landed him a job at Springboard…the list goes on!

On that day, you will hear the HC alumnus share their practical pro tips that aided them in securing internships and even full time positions, and perhaps discover radical or creative career paths that you never thought of before. You might also find it helpful to chat with speakers and some of our committee members who had abundant experiences while working at renowned firms like Apple, General Electric, Dyson and strategy consulting firms.

What are you waiting for? Sign up now to get valuable insights and network with the HC alumnus! We look forward to seeing you soon!

We're excited to announce our second client project of the year in partnership with Bluemethane. Bluemethane is a technology company developing a breakthrough data platform and hardware solution to sense and capture methane emissions from water. The Hercules teams will be collaborating with Bluemethane on creating a sensor that measures dissolved methane concentrations in water, and developing a software platform for monitoring the readings remotely. We are currently recruiting potential student members for the project, and strong applicants may also have the opportunity to join our "HC Prospectiers", a fast-track to become future Skill Leads or project members. In terms of commitment, the project runs for 10 weeks at roughly 10 hours/week/student (could be done alongside internship commitments), starting mid-July. Students will be paid for their hours. Key tasks: CAD, assembly, experimentation; embedded systems, internet protocols; some market research. Location: Onsite preferred but remote-friendly Application deadline: 10 July For more information about the project, visit: https://lnkd.in/eZwkm-u8 If you are interested in signing up, please sign up at: https://lnkd.in/etfUKH9T
