Job opportunity
80%-100%, Zurich, fixed-term
At the ETH Student Project House (SPH), we inspire and empower students to cultivate a maker-innovator mindset. We believe that by exploring their own ideas and developing personal projects, students gain valuable hands-on experience and learn essential skills for their future. That’s why we’ve created an ecosystem where students—Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral—are encouraged to ideate, build prototypes, and continuously test and refine their creations.
Our interdisciplinary team of 30 people supports students with the tools, knowledge, and guidance they need to pursue their passions. Our well-equipped Makerspace provides access to a wide range of tools and equipment for prototyping. To help projects grow beyond the idea stage, we also offer co-working, ideation, and event spaces, as well as personalized coaching.
Many of our offerings are entirely digital, so we’re developing and running a variety of digital solutions to support this space. This includes integrations of different software services, deployments in the cloud or on our own servers.
You’ll be working in one of the most inspiring spaces at ETH Zürich—surrounded by 3D printers, computers, whiteboards, ideation tools, and custom-designed furniture.
We currently have two locations: a five-storey house near the ETH main building and a space on the Hönggerberg campus. We share our open workspace with student project teams, collaborating at eye level and fostering a culture of exchange and creativity.
Our community brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds and disciplines, which is why we communicate primarily in English. We believe in the power of open source and contribute back to the community whenever we can.
