Intern – Electronics & PCB Design

Liebefeld, Bern, Switzerland

Part-time

Intern / Student

Your Impact

You will join the HIL Systems department, which delivers customer-specific HIL test systems for electronic control units and complete turnkey test benches.

Within the HW Design team, you will support practical electronics work for rack systems, connectivity, and the Modular Signal Conditioning Platform (MSCP). You will collaborate with experienced engineers and gain insight into real customer projects across many industries.

This job is ideal for bachelor’s or master’s students, or candidates with a comparable background in electronics engineering, who want to turn theory into hands-on engineering experience. You will contribute to practical PCB design, signal conditioning concepts, and assembly-related design work used in real HIL systems. It is a strong opportunity to experience a high-tech industry from the inside, learn modern engineering workflows, and see how electronics, simulation, and real-time testing come together in products used by leading engineering teams worldwide.

Core responsibilities

Support PCB schematic design for signal conditioning, connectivity, and system-related electronics.
Maintain and improve PCB component libraries, footprints, symbols, and related design data.
Support PCB layout activities and design reviews under the guidance of experienced HW engineers.
Create and update cable drawings, wiring documentation, and electrical designs for different assemblies.
Contribute to analog and digital signal conditioning circuits such as level shifting, amplification, measurement, isolation, and switching.

Your Background

Currently studying electrical engineering, electronics, mechatronics, embedded systems, or a similar technical field, or having comparable practical experience.
Strong interest in hands-on electronics, PCB design, circuit simulation, and real hardware.
Basic knowledge of analog and digital circuits; first experience with ECAD tools such as Altium Designer is a plus.
Curiosity for measurement equipment, prototyping, signal integrity, EMC/EMI, and robust industrial electronics.
Structured working style, willingness to learn quickly, and the motivation to contribute to real engineering deliverables.
Good English skills; German is an advantage.

Please note that we are only able to consider applications from Schengen-Area citizens. For residents outside of Switzerland, you will need to find your own accommodation in order to apply for the L or B work permit.

What We Offer

A paid internship starting immediately or by agreement.
Hands-on PCB and electronics design experience in a professional engineering environment.
Insight into HIL testing, real-time simulation, MSCP, rack systems, and turnkey customer projects.
Exposure to applications in automotive, aerospace, energy, industrial automation, robotics, medical technology, and research.
Mentoring from experienced hardware and system engineers, with opportunities to contribute to meaningful work from day one.
A collaborative team culture in a growing high-tech company headquartered in Bern, Switzerland.

This is an opportunity to spend work on real electronics for complex HIL systems - and to discover how cutting-edge control systems are tested before they reach the road, the sky, the grid, the factory, or the lab.

What We'd Like to Learn About You

Please submit your CV and a cover letter describing the project or experience that you believe has best prepared you for this role and explain why.

Thank you for the effort you invest in your application. We genuinely appreciate it!
