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.

What You’ll Bring

• Enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s in Data Science, Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, or similar throughout the full internship duration

• Ability to communicate complex analytics clearly
• Strategic problem-solving mindset
