From Data to Decisions. From Platform to Value
At Hilti, our Data Science Interns turn complex data into meaningful insights that power our digital products and customer experience. In this role, you’ll design experiments, build models, and work hands-on with large-scale data to shape real business decisions. Embedded in a highly skilled engineering community, you’ll gain end‑to‑end exposure, from hypothesis testing to production-ready solutions, without the typical barriers of slow processes or limited impact.
This is a full‑time internship position. Start date is flexible. Duration for at least 6 months. No travel is foreseen for this position.
What You'll do
As a Data Science Intern, you’ll work at the intersection of advanced analytics and real-world business needs. You will participate in discovery phases to understand business requirements, identify data-driven opportunities, and translate them into actionable use cases. Your daily work involves designing experiments, testing hypotheses, and developing statistical or machine learning models using Python.
You’ll be embedded in an experienced team of data engineers and data scientists, benefitting from pair programming, version control, and a fully established CI/CD environment. You’ll work with diverse data sources-internal, external, structured, and unstructured-and assess what is relevant for each use case. You will help shape strategies for data collection, integration, and retention, and will collaborate closely with domain experts across the company.
A key part of the role is communicating complex insights into clear, business-friendly language. You’ll support stakeholders in adopting data science methods, run statistical validations, and guide teams through agile delivery using Scrum. Throughout your internship, you’ll contribute to impactful, production-oriented solutions that enable better decisions across Hilti’s digital business.

- Ability to communicate complex analytics clearly
