Design
Internship / Global Electrolux Talent (GET)
Job Description
This internship is open to active students enrolled in a related Bachelor’s or Master’s program at a Swedish or European university, who will remain students throughout the entire internship period and are expected to graduate in December 2027 or later.
Start date 1 February 2027 – duration 6 months – full time.
If you want to help build the home of the future, start your career with us. At Electrolux Group, our vision is to be the home appliance industry leader in consumer satisfaction by delivering outstanding lifetime experiences with solutions that always get better. We share ideas and collaborate so that together, we can develop solutions that deliver more enjoyable and sustainable living.
About the Role
Creative Technology team sits within the design organization, combining disciplines of design, development, and engineering. We build internal tools that speed up the design workflow, build exploratory vision prototypes that explore novel product ideas and interaction modalities, and bridge the gap between design, development, and engineering.
As an intern in the Creative Technology team, you would help:
Create prototypes at different levels of fidelity, from quick experiments to robust demonstrators.
Explore how emerging technologies can create meaningful experiences in the home.
Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams.
Contribute to a culture of experimentation, knowledge-sharing, and constructive critique.
Bridge the physical and digital world through software and electronics, working on both physical appliances and connected digital experiences.
What You'll Work On
Assist designers in preparing prototypes for user testing of current products.
Translate design questions and hypotheses into appropriate prototypes and experiments, selecting the right fidelity, tools, and technical approach for each prototype.
Contribute to the conceptualization and prototyping of vision prototypes for innovation design initiatives.
Test, debug, and refine prototypes based on feedback from designers, engineers, and users.
Contribute to the organization and maintenance of the prototyping lab.
Gain exposure to and contribute across the design process, from research to prototyping and communication of findings.
Combination with Thesis Project
We offer the possibility of hosting a Bachelor or Master thesis project. The topic should be developed in alignment with the people leader of the position and relevant for the Electrolux Group.
Deep dive into one topic and investigate a jointly defined research question through design research and prototyping, producing both an academic thesis and a tangible prototype or demonstrator. The scope will be agreed with the student, university, and Electrolux supervisors.
What You'll Learn
How to collaborate on design initiatives across industrial design, interaction design, research, software, and engineering.
How to determine what a prototype needs to prove and choose an appropriate level of fidelity.
Hands-on experience in rapid prototyping and idea conceptualization, and strengthening prototyping skills, including but not limited to working with electronics, software development, 3D modelling, and 3D printing.
Soft skills in project planning, structuring ambiguous work, and communication of ideas.
How to communicate technical opportunities and limitations to non-technical collaborators.
How to turn ambiguous opportunities into testable design hypotheses
Who You Are
We are looking for a student who combines structured thinking with genuine curiosity about organizations;
Currently enrolled in a relevant Bachelor’s or Master’s program in the field of HCI / Industrial Design Engineering / Product Design and eligible to undertake a six-month internship or thesis project.
Interested in using technology as a material for design exploration.
Curiosity for design craft (interaction, visual, industrial), technology, and emerging trends.
