About this role
Job title: Product Circularity Data & Analysis Intern
About the Role This internship at Signify focuses on accelerating product circularity for our consumer portfolio. Your first focus will be to build a clear baseline of where we are today by consolidating circularity data (materials, components, packaging, and supplier information) and extracting what it tells us. You will help determine what data we still need, how we can realistically improve circularity (material use, recyclability, repairability), and define a repeatable approach to score and communicate findings to stakeholders via dashboards.
What You'll Do
- Create an overview of current circularity data for existing consumer products by collecting and consolidating data (materials, components, packaging, supplier information) into a structured dataset.
- Assess product circularity (material use, recycled content, recyclability, repairability, end-of-life routes) and identify data gaps, assumptions, and key drivers.
- Evaluate repairability and serviceability (modularity, disassembly, spare parts availability, ease of replacement) using product documentation and hands-on assessment where possible.
- Define a repeatable approach (templates, checklists, clear definitions) to score/compare products on circularity and highlight data gaps and assumptions.
- Create insights and recommendations for stakeholders by summarizing findings in dashboards/slides and proposing next steps to improve data quality and circularity performance.
What We're Looking For
- You are an HBO/WO student in Industrial Engineering, Sustainability, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Data Analytics, or a similar field.
- Analytical and structured: comfortable working with datasets, specifications and bills of materials, and translating information into clear conclusions.
- Interest in circular economy topics (materials, recyclability, repairability, life cycle thinking) and willingness to learn relevant standards and internal methods.
- Strong attention to detail: able to validate sources, document assumptions, and maintain traceability of data and calculations.
- Proactive communicator who enjoys collaborating with R&D, sustainability and procurement stakeholders to gather data and drive improvements.
Compensation & Benefits
- Salary not disclosed.
- Coaching and mentoring along the way to learn and progress in your career; support from Signify's global, diverse team of 27,000+ people across 70+ countries.
- An inclusive environment where every voice is heard and valued, with opportunities to grow.
