The posting

Company Description

Are you interested in 5G, mobile networks, automation and new digital services? During this internship, you will work on a real innovation challenge within KPN’s Mobile Core domain. Depending on your interests, study background and the opportunities within the team, you will focus on one of two areas.

Job Description

Focus Area 1: Zero-Touch MVNO Onboarding

Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) depend on different network and IT systems to launch and manage their mobile services. You will investigate how MVNO onboarding can be made simpler, faster and more automated. You will analyse the current process, identify manual activities and dependencies, and explore opportunities to automate parts of the onboarding journey.

You may work on:

  • Mapping the current MVNO onboarding process.
  • Identifying manual steps, dependencies, and bottlenecks.
  • Understanding interactions between Mobile Core and supporting IT and network systems.
  • Exploring automation opportunities using APIs and workflow automation.
  • Developing recommendations and, where feasible, a small proof of concept.

Focus Area 2: 5G Network Slicing for Enterprise Services

5G Network Slicing creates opportunities to provide differentiated mobile connectivity services for enterprise customers. You will investigate how 5G Network Slicing could support future enterprise services at KPN. You will explore suitable use cases and analyse what is needed to order, provision, operate and monitor these services.

You may work on:

  • Researching enterprise use cases for 5G Network Slicing.
  • Identifying and prioritizing promising use cases.
  • Understanding requirements across RAN, transport, 5G Core and supporting IT systems.
  • Investigating how network slices could be ordered, provisioned, monitored and managed.
  • Identifying gaps between current and future capabilities.
  • Developing recommendations for future implementation.

The final assignment and scope will be defined together with your KPN coach, based on your interests, study background and the opportunities within the Mobile Core domain.

Regardless of the selected focus area, during your internship you will:

  • Collaborate with experienced Mobile Core architects and experts to analyse a real technical and business challenge.
  • Gather stakeholder input and translate your findings into a clear, structured analysis.
  • Develop practical recommendations and/or a proof of concept, and present your findings to KPN stakeholders.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone who is curious about telecommunications, 5G and automation, enjoys understanding how complex systems work, and is able to turn analysis into practical ideas. You recognize yourself in the following:

  • Currently studying Telecommunications, Computer Science, ICT, Electrical Engineering or a related programme.
  • Basic understanding of mobile networks, 4G/5G or networking technologies.
  • Interested in areas such as automation, APIs, cloud technologies or telecom architecture.
  • Able to analyse and structure information independently, collaborate effectively with technical experts, and communicate and present findings.
  • You reside in the Netherlands.
  • You are available for at least 32 hours per week for a minimum of 5 months.

Knowledge of 5G Core, Network Slicing, APIs, Python or automation technologies is an advantage, but not a requirement.

Additional Information

What can you expect from KPN?

  • A monthly internship allowance of €600 based on full-time participation.
  • Opportunities to engage in activities and collaborate with fellow interns and colleagues.
  • The potential for employment at KPN upon successful completion of the internship.
  • A hybrid working environment
  • A laptop for both internship and academic use.
  • Travel reimbursement for train or car if you do not have a student public transport card.
  • Collaboration within a multidisciplinary team of experienced professionals.
  • Access to an extensive network of experts at KPN who are eager to share their knowledge and connections.

We have a strong belief in the power of technology made even more impactful through human interaction. We look forward to meeting you!

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
