Software Engineering Interns

The Business

ADInstruments creates innovative software and hardware solutions for life science researchers and educators. With a team of 60 in Dunedin and almost 200 globally, we have customers world-wide and are a leader in our field.

Your Role

We’re excited to be offering 4 summer internships for aspiring Software Engineers to join us in our modern, spacious office in Dunedin’s warehouse precinct. You’ll be joining either our Education Development team working on Lt (our online learning platform with ready-to-use content for life sciences) OR our Research Development team working on LabChart Lightning (our data acquisition and analysis software). 

Our development work is done using modern front-end technologies, but don’t worry if you’re not familiar with these yet. You will be given all the training you need, and paired with a mentor who will show you the ropes. By the end of your internship, you will have contributed to our software products, and your work will be shipped to ADInstruments’ customers. Working with our team, you’ll enjoy flexible work hours and a range of social events. An internship with us will get your foot in the door of the tech industry. 

The Team

We value diversity of all kinds, and are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team where we learn from each other. Our team is collaborative and curious and loves working on new, innovative changes to our products. You’ll be joining a team that loves delivering value to our customers. We’re excited to welcome you this summer and introduce you to the ADInstruments culture of passionate people who love science, learning and creating world-class products.
