Intern Software Engineer

Short Description

We are looking for a motivated and curious Software Engineering Intern to join the Simulation and Tools team at Stadler. You will support the development of simulators and test tools used in safety-related environments. These simulators are primarily developed in Python, C++, and as a plus on PLC-based systems.

This internship offers a valuable opportunity to gain hands-on experience in software development within a safety-critical context. You will be introduced to requirement management tools and development processes, with a strong focus on delivering reliable and high-quality solutions.

During your internship, you will contribute to different phases of the development cycle, including implementation, testing, and documentation. You will work closely with experienced engineers and learn how to develop software that aligns with safety standards such as ISO 50573 (T2/T3 levels).

You will also gain experience in writing clear and structured documentation to ensure that tools can be maintained and used effectively by others. In addition, you will collaborate with colleagues from different teams and support them in using and integrating these tools into their workflows.

We are looking for students or recent graduates with a strong interest in software engineering. Curiosity, a willingness to learn, and a passion for technology are key to success in this role.

Your Responsibilities

• Support the development and improvement of simulators and software testing tools
• Contribute to writing clean, maintainable code (e.g., Python, C++, PLC as a plus)
• Assist in developing graphical user interfaces and simple tooling
• Help create and maintain documentation (requirements, design notes, user manuals)
• Participate in testing and validation of software components
• Collaborate with team members to understand requirements and implement solutions
