Mechanical Engineering Intern (Summer Job – ASAP)

Zürich
Full-time
Intern / Student
27 Fr. per hour

IN SHORT

Are you a hands-on engineering student who enjoys a mix of deep analytical work and getting out of the office to solve real-world problems? As our new Engineering Intern (ASAP, 2-3 months, 100%) based in Zurich Wiedikon, you will be right in the middle of the action. Balancing your time between our office and on-site field visits, you will investigate root causes and optimize the performance and reliability of our smart hardware fleet across Switzerland.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Diagnose our current fridge cooling systems across various site conditions and usage patterns
  • Analyze root causes behind possible issues such as cooling instability 
  • Develop and propose pragmatic solutions for each identified issue, ranging from on-site fixes to long-term structural improvements
  • Work both hands-on (testing, measuring, being on-site with our fridges) and strategically (analysis, recommendations, documentation)

YOUR PROFILE

  • Currently studying, between degrees, or recently graduated in an engineering field (e.g., mechanical, process, thermal) 
  • 3 years of academic experience
  • Solid understanding of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and mechanical systems
  • Practical and curious mindset
  • Valid Swiss driver's license (Category B) and willingness to travel to client sites across Switzerland
  • Fluency in either German or English (both is an advantage)
  • Availability to commit to a 2–3-month project over the summer
  • Non-smoker - we don't want you to smell like cigarettes, neither at work nor at customer meetings. After all, FELFEL is about good food.
  • Valid work permit or Swiss passport.

OUR BENEFITS

  • Hourly rate of CHF 27.00 
  • Delicious Meals at Your Fingertips: Enjoy fresh, high-quality meals just steps away from your workspace – every day.
  • Barista-Style Coffee & Premium Tea: Fuel your day with barista-style coffee and premium tea, thanks to our Gavetti machine.
  • Work in a collaborative, friendly, and down-to-earth team based in central Zürich that values initiative and gives you the space to contribute your ideas.
  • Take on a real, meaningful project at the center of our business, with the chance to see your solutions implemented across a live fridge fleet, not just in a report.
  • Work closely with and gain direct exposure to our operations, technical team, and management.
