Engineering leader Systems Automation Technologies – SAT has announced the start of its internship program for 2026, aimed towards students with the ambitions to grow in the sphere of industrial automation. The company, which develops complex projects across five continents, opens its doors to young talent, offering a chance to participate in the development of control systems – from designing the electrical boards to the software configurations of industrial controllers.

SAT’s internship program is aimed towards students with an affinity for the technical, who want to see how theory from universities is applied in factories on five continents. The program itself is designed to directly link them to the work rhythm of engineering teams. Instead of solving abstract tasks, the interns pursue how an industrial project comes to life – from the first EPLAN schematics to the final program code. The work covers everything needed to control large capacities, including the design of control panels and power systems that drive mills, furnaces and conveyor lines in heavy industry.

The internship program is suitable for students having successfully completed their second or third year course, including Masters of technical specialties such as:

Automation of production (AP/EA);
Electrical engineering and power engineering;
Mechatronics and robotics;
Computer control systems.

An important requirement is that candidates have a stable understanding of theoretical electrical engineering and basic literacy for working with drawing or programming environments. Considering that SAT is working on projects for global leaders in heavy industry, comprehending technical English is an advantage when it comes to working with documentation and software platforms by Siemens, Schneider Electric and ABB.

The company's main goal is to expose young people to real-world cases that often remain theoretical at university. "Suitable candidates are those who are willing to understand how to design and program on a heavy industrial scale, without worrying about new software environments and complex systems," SAT explains.
