Full-Stack Software Engineering Intern

Corintis is seeking a Full-Stack Software Engineering Intern to support the development of our simulation and optimization platform. This internship is ideal for students or recent graduates who want hands‑on experience building real product features across the stack—UI, APIs, data flows, and workflow orchestration—at the intersection of interactive engineering tools and HPC simulation.

Corintis is a startup that is a provider of advanced semiconductor cooling technologies. Some of the biggest challenges of our lifetime, from climate modelling 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.

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.
