RE:LAB is a design and innovation company specialized in shaping the interaction between people and complex technologies. Since 2004, we have been working on products and systems used daily across the automotive, industrial, and consumer sectors. Our goal is to make advanced technology understandable, safe, and natural to use.

We don’t just design interfaces. We design experiences that bring together design, engineering, human factors, and artificial intelligence. Our multidisciplinary team tackles real-world challenges in highly complex contexts, where quality and reliability are essential.

We partner with global companies when user experience is not a detail, but a critical factor for a product’s success—when adoption, safety, and user trust truly make the difference. At RE:LAB, we believe technology should feel human. This belief guides the way we work, the design decisions we make, and the relationships we build every day.

Designing human experiences for complex technologies. RE:LAB is looking for an intern to contribute to the creation of a digital knowledge system based on project materials and resources from the company's internal library. The internship combines humanities, information management, and digital technologies.

The goal is to make documents, content, and project experience easier to access, explore, and connect through a digital platform supported by Artificial Intelligence tools. The project looks at knowledge as a phigital system — one where a physical reality (documents, archives, library materials) and its virtual counterpart (digital platform, metadata, AI-assisted retrieval) are not two separate worlds, but a single space of access and consultation. The reference model is the kind of project,



increasingly common among major libraries and research institutions, where a scholar's physical collection is given a digital twin that extends and makes it searchable.

The internship explores that same challenge on a smaller, more contained scale. This is a research-oriented internship, not an employment position: it is an exploratory experience, and part of its purpose is precisely to test and verify, in the field, what impact and what quality of outcome this kind of knowledge system can actually deliver.

Main Activities

Working alongside the team, the intern will contribute to:

- Collecting, analysing, and organising project documentation, texts, and company library materials.
- Defining classification criteria, metadata, and connections between content, topics, and projects.
- Supporting the organisation of the digital platform and uploading content.
- Exploring AI tools for cataloguing, summarising, and retrieving information.
- Assessing content quality and how effectively users can find and access information.
- Academic background in Digital Humanities, Humanities Computing, Philosophy, Philosophy of Mind, Digital Philosophy, Communication Studies, or the humanities more broadly, with a digital or interdisciplinary orientation.
- Interest in knowledge management, digital archives, and AI applications for content.
- Good analytical, summarising,



and information organisation skills.
- Familiarity with digital tools and curiosity about new technologies.
- Attention to detail, teamwork skills, and willingness to learn. Knowledge of cataloguing, document management, databases, or generative AI tools, including knowledge gained through academic activities, is welcome. No previous professional experience is required. This internship offers the opportunity to apply humanities skills to a practical project while developing expertise in organising and making the most of the company's knowledge resources.
