Every year at Ensera Design, we select a number of talented students to join our team through placement opportunities. Many of our former interns have gone on to build successful careers, and several are now valued members of the Ensera team.

We’re looking for an Electronic and Software (E&S) Placement Intern to join us for a year-long placement starting in September 2027. You’ll work alongside our multidisciplinary Electronics and Software team on a variety of exciting client projects, applying your academic knowledge to real-world challenges and developing your skills within an award-winning design consultancy.
