The Companies
Work with the best engineers, early
Residencies place ISE students inside your engineering team as paid contributors for three to six months at a time — real work, real impact, with academic mentoring alongside.
Where students reside
From global platforms to Ireland's fastest-growing startups
ISE partners span fintech, medtech, robotics, quantum and more — the companies students join as paid contributors.
What a residency is
Not an internship. A contribution.
Students join your team as paid contributors on real work — supported by ISE's academic mentors and a structured learning framework around the placement.
Paid contributors
Students are paid and expected to do real, shippable engineering work — not shadowing.
Three to six months
Long enough to onboard, take ownership and deliver — across up to five residencies per student.
Fully supported
Academic mentors and a learning framework wrap around every placement, sharing the load with your team.
Why partner with ISE
