About OceanWings
OceanWings’ mission is to provide the Shipping Industry with the most efficient Wind Assisted Propulsion Systems, enabling them to reduce emissions, lower operational costs, and protect the long-term value of their investments. By making innovative technology accessible, OceanWings aims to become a global leader in the decarbonization of shipping, helping steer the industry towards wind energy as the most scalable and ready solution for a sustainable future.
Context
Within the Software Team, OceanWings is offering a Machine Learning Engineer internship (end-of-studies level) focused on artificial intelligence applied to the OceanWings® wind propulsion system.
You will contribute to the modeling, prediction, and optimization of wing performance through data-driven and hybrid (physics + AI) approaches.
Main Missions
Your missions will include the following:
Technical Discovery & Collaboration
Discover the OceanWings® technology and understand the challenges related to wing performance modeling.
Collaborate closely with the performance team to explore data and review relevant scientific literature.
Research & Development
Work on one or more focus areas:
Develop time series forecasting models for wing performance prediction.
Enhance vessel performance analysis using machine learning methods.
Improve physics-based simulations with ML-enhanced models.
Optimize data pipelines and ensure the robustness of model integration and monitoring.
Document methodologies, model architectures, and technical choices.Mindset:
Analytical, rigorous, and organized.
Autonomous, curious, and eager to learn.
Team-oriented and collaborative.
Languages: Fluent in English for technical and collaborative exchanges.
Bonus Skills:
Sailing or maritime experience.
Knowledge of Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) or Physics-Informed Machine Learning (PIML) — a strong plus but not mandatory.
What We Offer
Ownership of end-to-end R&D projects with real and measurable impact.
Exposure to concrete AI applications in an innovative maritime context.
A collaborative technical environment working alongside experienced engineers.
Tangible deliverables you can showcase at the end of your internship.
A direct contribution to the energy transition of maritime transport.
A dynamic and pioneering startup culture, with a passionate team and regular social activities (foosball, afterworks, climbing, spikeball, and more).
Conditions
Contract: 6-month internship
Location: Paris, with occasional travel to the industrial site in Blainville-sur-Orne
Working at OceanWings means...
Driving the future of sustainable maritime transport through innovative wind propulsion and smart technologies.
Growing within a multidisciplinary, forward-thinking environment where ideas become real impact.
