Your Journey at SANLAB Academy
SANLAB Academy brings young talents into a fast growing, globally expanding technology team through its 8 month paid internship program.
This is not a traditional, observation based internship. Participants take active responsibility, work on real projects, and develop hands on experience aligned with international standards.
Today, SANLAB operates with distributors in 10 different countries. As part of SANLAB Academy, interns contribute directly to this global growth and gain firsthand experience working within an international technology ecosystem.
Throughout the program, interns are placed in teams based on their interests and competencies, including software and simulation development, control systems, embedded technologies, mechanical design, project coordination, and business development.
By the end of the program, participants gain not just an internship experience, but a strong professional foundation that supports their future careers.
