Student to support process and Control Modelling & Simulation at Novo Nordisk Engineering

Turn real process & control data into simulation models and decision-ready insights—join our cross‑disciplinary team as a student and help build the next generation of modelling, simulation and digital twin solutions

Who we are

We are a leading pharma engineering company shaping the future of API pharma engineering globally. Leveraging the expertise of 2,000+ employees across Denmark, India, and the US, we design, build and optimise pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities that are essential to the health and well-being of patients everywhere.

Our success is driven by passion, innovation, and collaboration — with our customers and across our teams and disciplines. If you share our dedication to a noble cause and our passion for API pharma engineering, then NNE is the place for you.

About the role
We are looking for a student to support focused process and process control modelling and simulation to join our growing team in the Early Simulation Insights department, as part of our API Powerhouse aspiration and digitalisation journey.

You will be part of a team of other students, engineers and specialists working in process, process control engineering and process space. We are a newly established team, and our ambition is to support our clients translating how early-stage design decisions affect facility design from a systems (process, utilities and process space) perspective. We are also supporting an ambitious digital journey, translating current ways of working into New Ways of Working, like e.g. Digital Twins for Virtual pre-testing.
