Software Engineering Intern

Corintis is seeking a Software Engineering Intern to support the maintenance and improvement of our Python-based projects. This role is ideal for students or recent graduates who want to deepen their programming skills, work with real-world systems, and collaborate with experienced engineers.

About Corintis

Corintis is a startup that is a provider of advanced semiconductor cooling technologies. Some of the biggest challenges of our lifetime, from climate modeling to drug discovery, constantly require more computing power. More powerful chips generate more heat; extracting this heat is a major challenge for our future.

Current cooling systems are not only limited but also wasteful; cooling data centers consume more power than London and New York combined. At Corintis, we remove these limitations by integrating cooling directly inside the chip. We enable the sustainable computing of the future to address the biggest global challenges.

Working at Corintis

Corintis offers a friendly and team-oriented workplace bringing together a diverse group of nationalities to solve the biggest computing challenges of tomorrow. Based on the EPFL campus near Lausanne, we are closely connected to the local ecosystem and are located a few minutes walk from Lake Geneva.

What You’ll Do:

• Contribute to the design, development, and testing of our in-house software
• Maintain and refactor existing Python projects
• Collaborate closely with fellow engineers
• Review GitHub issues, communication channels, and usage examples of the open-source packages we depend on.
  
  

Qualifications:

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
