Embedded Systems Engineering Internship

Creative Play Lab is an ambitious, future‑focused innovation hub inventing radical new play opportunities and never‑seen‑before experiences for LEGO® fans of today and tomorrow. We grow the boundaries of what play can become, using bold experimentation, advanced technologies, and deep insight into how kids play to imagine meaningful, next‑generation experiences. Our mix of creatives, innovators, researchers, engineers, and technologists rapidly transforms curiosity into tangible concepts, redefining the future of play and ensuring LEGO® play remains at the forefront of creativity and joyful exploration.

As an intern in our Embedded Processing and Connectivity team you’ll join colleagues dedicated to letting loose their creative curiosity and technical excellence to explore new play experiences. You’ll unleash your imagination across a range of technical challenges, collaborating cross-functionally to develop concepts and playable prototypes.

In Creative Play Lab, we look for interns who bring something genuinely different to our innovation hub, adding fresh cultural insight, creative energy, and new ways of thinking. Your time with us will span advanced development for concept creation, to early-stage productization, and to post-launch support. Every day is different and you’ll learn directly from a world‑class multidisciplinary team as you build your craft, embracing ambiguity as you help pave the way using technical elements for new play experiences.

The Hardware and Embedded Systems Engineering team develops the technologies that bring our physical play experiences to life. We work from early concepts and prototypes through to mass production. The team brings together hardware and embedded software engineering to turn ideas into robust, production-ready solutions. Through hands-on prototyping, iterative design and testing, we explore new possibilities and refine them into products designed to be manufactured at scale.

We welcome international applications for this role however you must be able to work on site in Billund, Denmark for the duration of the internship itself.

We have many internships available in Creative Play Lab, each supporting a different team with their own focus area. Take a moment to review all these opportunities and apply only to those that truly align with your strengths. If you have broad skills, applying to more than one team is acceptable but applying to a large number of teams doesn’t increase your chances of making a successful application and makes it harder for us to understand where you’d shine so please be thoughtful in your approach.

Please ensure your application is completed in English.

• A current CV detailing your education and relevant experiences.
• A portfolio or similar showcasing a more in-depth range of your work. This should include projects that highlight your interests, reflect your passions, and demonstrate your hobbies.
• A bespoke cover letter (no more than 200 words) that tells us what motivates you to apply for this internship and why you think you’re best suited for the placement. If you can do or say something to help your cover letter stand out, then please do it. We encourage you to be original and authentic to who you are.

Applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis. However, please note we do amend or withdraw our jobs and reserve the right to do so at any time, including prior to any advertised closing date. So, if you're interested in this role we encourage you to apply as soon as possible.
