SRAM is seeking a talented and enthusiastic individual to intern with the Industrial Design team at our European Engineering and Design office located in Schweinfurt, Germany. Interns are given significant responsibilities to execute their own projects from concept to production, and are also expected to support the design team with additional research, sketching, ergonomic mock-ups, and the construction of appearance and proof-of-principle models. The internship focuses on teaching extra professional skills achieved through work experience which are not necessarily learned in design school. Your portfolio will be assessed and areas that should be advanced will be targeted. Interns are required to document their work throughout their internship, capturing their entire design process in a portfolio that will be presented to the design team upon the completion of their internship. Interns leave with a greater knowledge of process, design, ergonomics and manufacturing.

All candidates must submit a cover letter, resume, and a PDF (5MB max) or web based portfolio. career@sram.com
