Requirements

• You are starting a practice-integrated study program (PiBS) at FHNW in the fields of Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering: Further information can be found at FHNW
• Possible study models:
• Part-time study with continuous practical activity of at least 40% (Model A)
• Full-time study with several longer practical phases (Model B)
• You are versatile and want to apply what you have learned directly in practice
• You speak German (at least C1)

About your activities

We offer you an internship tailored to your career aspirations in our company, with the goal of gaining practical experience in the field of electrical engineering and/or mechanical engineering. During the internship, you will go through several areas of our multifaceted company and take on your own project after intensive introduction.

Every internship begins in our production, where you will get hands-on experience and work on the manufacturing of our measuring transformers. You will acquire basic knowledge in mechanical manufacturing, including operating CNC machines, drilling, milling, or wiring. In your daily work, you will learn the important properties of various materials. Furthermore, you will gain insights into our high-voltage test fields and be able to accompany various tests.

In doing so, you will get to know our production processes and thus the foundation of our company. This will give you the best possible understanding of all subsequent processes and later tasks within projects.

Equipped with this knowledge, you will then be able to participate in cross-departmental projects, with the goal of independently leading at least one of them. Projects to improve infrastructure, optimizations in production processes, or in the area of design or industrialization are possible areas of deployment for the second part of your internship.

Your benefits

• A network in the working world for your career after training
• A solid and practical technical basic education
• Collaboration with long-standing and experienced engineers
• Market-standard and fair internship salary
