What's the role?
We’re looking for a bold, imaginative intern who’s not afraid to ask, “What if?” and explore the boundaries of what’s possible with data, AI, and emerging technologies in the world of connected construction tools and services.
As part of the IoT Analytics and AI Technologies team, you won’t just support projects — you’ll initiate ideas, prototype concepts, and inspire change. Your role is to challenge conventional thinking, explore how cutting-edge technologies can enhance Hilti’s customer-facing solutions, and bring fresh energy to our innovation culture.
Who is Hilti?
Hilti is the place where innovation is harnessed to improve productivity, safety, and sustainability in the global construction industry and beyond. It's where solutions are born based on strong customer relationships, making it possible to build a better future. It's where 34,000 people across 120 different locations worldwide take pride in being part of the team. It's where people have the opportunity to explore their possibilities, unleash their potential, take responsibility for their personal development, and build their careers for the long term.
In our IoT department we develop innovative Embedded Software Solutions, Mobile Apps and Measurement Technologies - through our technologies in application software we take our customers to the next level of the technological progress.
What does the role involve?
You will act as a technology scout, creative thinker, and hands-on prototyper — someone who brings together a passion for experimentation with the ability to build quick demos or proof-of-concepts that spark conversation and excitement.
Your key responsibilities include:
- Exploring emerging technologies, frameworks, and tools (e.g., Gen AI, self-service analytics, no-code platforms, etc.) and evaluating their relevance for Hilti’s ecosystem
- Proposing innovative use cases that could transform the way Hilti uses data to deliver value to customers
- Building prototypes or lightweight solutions that demonstrate how these technologies could work in practice
- Creating compelling demos, visualizations, or interactive tools that bring ideas to life and communicate their potential to non-technical stakeholders
- Collaborating with domain experts, designers, and developers to validate feasibility and identify the path to implementation
- Helping create internal buzz around the possibilities of data science, AI, and analytics through presentations, workshops, or interactive showcases
Think of yourself as part creative technologist, part innovation catalyst.
