Generative AI Designer Intern (January 2027, 12 months, Rotkreuz)

About the role

CXSD, the Customer Experience and Solution Design team at Roche Diagnostics, is looking for a Generative AI Designer Intern to join ARC (AI for Roche Creators), a new squad exploring the future of design at the intersection of creativity and AI. The internship starts in January 2027 and lasts 6 to 12 months in Rotkreuz. You will help move the design community from static digital prototypes to vibe-coded prototypes that look, feel and behave like real products, working with senior designers, human factors engineers, technologists and software engineers.

Key responsibilities

• Turn ideas, user needs and design concepts into functional prototypes, visual concepts, motion studies and 3D explorations using generative tools.
• Build small internal tools, plugins and workflows using the One Design System and design tokens.
• Translate design needs into clear technical requirements for engineering teams.
• Support usability testing across the full lifecycle of prototypes, from planning and preparation to analysis.
• Evaluate new AI models, tools and techniques, and contribute to demos, workshops and training materials.

Required profile

• Currently enrolled at a university or graduated within 12 months before the start of the internship in Interaction Design, UX Design, HCID, Computer Science, Creative Technology, Industrial Design or a similar field.
• Fluent English; non-EU/Non-EFTA citizens must attach a university confirmation that the internship is mandatory and that they remain enrolled throughout.
• A fast learning mindset and willingness to share what you build with others.

Required skills

• Hands-on experience with generative AI tools, including AI coding tools such as Claude Code and generative media tools for image, video, 3D or audio, with at least one project shown.
• Basic front-end knowledge (HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, React) to read, adapt and debug code generated by AI tools.
• Solid UX/UI/interaction design foundation and practical Figma experience, with a project shown.
• Understanding of design systems and design tokens, such as Material Design.
• Nice to have: node-based or visual AI workflow tools, LLM APIs, simple AI agents, Arduino, Processing or physical computing, and active participation in the AI or design community.

To apply, upload your CV (in English) and your enrolment or degree certificate, and submit a portfolio with links to live prototypes or repositories. Academic theses cannot be done alongside this practical internship.
