Want to shape the future of waterborne transport and join a world-class team? Candela is the global leader in electric hydrofoil vessels. Since 2014, we’ve gone from building our first premium electric speedboat in a small Stockholm workshop to delivering game-changing vessels around the globe. The Candela P-12 is our latest innovation - the world’s first electric hydrofoil ferry is not just operating in Stockholm, but now attracting orders from around the world. Our boats “fly” thanks to computer-guided underwater wings under the hull made out of lightweight carbon fiber. The wings lift the vessel above the water, which results in cutting energy use by up to 80%, while offering zero emissions and a far better passenger experience than traditional diesel vessels. And that’s exactly why we do this. Our mission is clear: to speed up the transition to fossil fuel–free lakes and oceans. Internship and Thesis At Candela, we're always excited to meet passionate students who want to help push the boundaries of electric hydrofoiling technology. Throughout the year, we periodically open opportunities for internships and thesis projects across engineering, manufacturing, software, business operations, and more. If you’re interested in joining us -but don’t see an active opening that matches your profile, you’re welcome to submit an open application here. Doing so helps us gather strong candidates in advance and reach out as soon as a suitable slot becomes available. What are we looking for? * Students in engineering, tech, or business‑related programs with strong academic engagement * Curiosity and passion for sustainable technology and innovation * Motivation to contribute to real‑world projects that impact the future of marine transportation * For thesis workers: a clearly defined topic of interest or a strong motivation to co‑create a thesis angle with us Requirements: * You are currently enrolled at a university or vocational program (mandatory for internship/thesis eligibility) * You have excellent proficiency in English, both spoken and written * For engineering or technical roles: basic competence in your relevant field (e.g., mechanical design, electronics, data analysis, software development, hydrodynamics, etc.) * For business roles: experience or coursework relevant to the function (e.g., HR, marketing, operations, finance) Other * You must hold a valid visa or permit that allows you to complete an internship or thesis placement in Sweden * Candela is not able to offer relocation assistance, housing support, or sponsorship for visas/permits * All internships and thesis projects require that you can work on‑site in Stockholm for the major part of the assignment * Availability to start depending on project timing and internal capacity Location/base: Rotebro/Stockholm As part of the process, you will be asked to share additional information or documents later in the application flow so we can better understand your background, interests, and potential project fit.

Do you want to use advanced simulation methods to understand and improve the performance of fuel cells? Join Chalmers and contribute to atomistic modelling of catalytic reactions to enhance the stability of proton-exchange membrane fuel cells. About us Chemical Physics develops sustainable energy systems by using heterogeneous (electro) catalysis for alternative fuel production, emission control, energy storage, and fuel cells. The research is interdisciplinary with strong connections between fundamental and applied science. Chemical Physics is a dynamic and international environment that strives for scientific excellence through teamwork and combined theoretical and experimental efforts. The theoretical activities at Chemical Physics focus on electronic structure calculations within the density functional theory together with mean-field modeling and Monte-Carlo simulations for reaction kinetics. By linking quantum mechanical calculations with kinetic modeling, it is possible to bridge both length and time scales. About the research project Proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) convert the chemical energy in hydrogen to electrical energy. The main parts of a PEMFC are the anode, cathode and electrolyte. The reactions at the anode and cathode electrodes are catalyzed by metal nanoparticles on carbon. A current issue for large scale implementation of the PEMFC technology is long-term stability. The project will use atomistic first principles methods to understand the governing mechanism for fuel cell degradation. Increased understanding of the governing processes will provide information on how catalysts could be improved and how the system should be operated to minimize degradation. The project is a collaboration between Volvo Technology AB and Chemical Physics at Chalmers.
