Why an internship at Lightyear?

Lightyear is a cutting edge, high tech, innovative scale up with one mission: clean mobility for everyone, everywhere. An internship at Lightyear will show you the world outside of academics, a place where you can apply your knowledge, theory and skills. A place where you can get to know yourself better. Where you can explore what you are good at and what not, where you can excel and apply your potential.

What do we offer?

Lightyear is at the start of a very exciting year with lots of milestones ahead. Our second, validation, prototype will hit the road in April, we are exploring a SPAC deal and the first deliveries will start at the end of the year. The company is growing rapidly and you could be part of it. Apart from your own responsibilities, you will receive guidance and mentoring with the possibility to convert your internship into a full time job by the end of it.

The internship allowance will be 340-400 euro per month (depending on phase of your studies BSc/MSc), and there is a travel reimbursement programme, in case you do not possess a OV-card (public transport card).

At Lightyear we are building an electric car that charges itself. From our experience at Solar Team Eindhoven, we know this is only possible starting from scratch. At Lightyear we bring together a multidisciplinary team of highly motivated engineers, designers, and visionaries to challenge the status quo. Write the story with us!
