Job opportunity
At the ETH Student Project House (SPH), we inspire and empower students to cultivate a maker-innovator mindset. By exploring their own ideas and developing personal projects, students gain valuable hands-on experience and learn essential skills for their future. We have created an ecosystem where Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral students are encouraged to ideate, build prototypes, and continuously test and refine their creations.
Our interdisciplinary team of 30 supports students with the tools, knowledge, and guidance they need to pursue their passions. Our well-equipped Makerspace provides access to various tools and equipment for prototyping. To help projects grow beyond the idea stage, we also offer co-working spaces, ideation areas, and personalized coaching.
Many of our offerings are entirely digital, leading us to develop a variety of digital solutions. This includes integrations of different software services and deployments on our cloud or our own servers.
