Your role:

We are looking for a motivated and analytical Engineering Intern to join our Operations team.

This is a "hands-on" internship designed for someone who loves solving problems and making processes run like clockwork.

What you will own:

As an Ops Intern, your work will focus on three main pillars:

Methods & New Product Introduction (NPI): Support the Methods Engineer in the seamless deployment of new products.

• Assist in creating technical documentation, workflows, and production guidelines.

Procurement Optimization: Analyze and simplify existing purchasing processes.

• Identify bottlenecks in the supply chain and propose streamlined digital or manual workflows.

Logistics & "Quick Wins": Identify and implement immediate operational improvements (Quick Wins) within the warehouse or logistics chain.

Your profile:

• Currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Engineering (Industrial Engineering, Operations Management, or a related field).
• Strong analytical mindset with a "lean" approach (Six Sigma or Kaizen knowledge is a plus).
• Proactive, autonomous, and comfortable working on the shop floor as well as in the office.
• Proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets. Familiarity with Odoo, ERP systems is a bonus.
• French and English. You must be able to communicate fluently in both languages (written and spoken) to interact with local teams.

Flyability is a young Swiss company that values independent thinking combined with a collaborative spirit. Every day, you will have the opportunity to share your ideas and contribute to solving problems. We all work together, and each voice is important to move forward.
