We offer a lot of challenging work possibilities for experienced and recently graduated technicians, mostly in the field of electronics, mechanical engineering and applied physics. Our continuous cooperation shows that teamwork between students and experienced IMS-engineers is a good match for both parties and offers may opportunities. A sustainable initiative that suits our aim to a more sustainable company.

Can you think of one of the best moments in the past years of cooperation? For edition 2016-2017 IMS was asked to support the team with the development of the charging configuration. This task was related to multiple disciplines within the solar team and was a real challenge for the IMS-engineers. IMS mostly supported this project during the concept phase with our in house knowledge and resources. We worked together with engineers of the solar team on a weekly basis and together we came up with designs of multiple concepts.
What have you learned from working with this solar team? We have always been proud to see the results of the team after months of effort, passion, extreme clear orientation on the goal and the dare to push the edge of technology. This is carried out by the team with perfection. We as IMS deliver conform customer specifications and aim to exceed the customers expectation, but that is not enough for this team. They have only one goal: Winning the race!
Would you like to give a message to the team? Because of your hard work, passion and clear goals we know one thing for sure: This year Solar Team Twente with RED E will take the first place in the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge! On behalf of IMS we wish you the best of luck!
