Internship - Game Design (min 4 months) beg. February 2026

Zander Labs is a leader in neuroadaptive technology, pioneering innovative solutions to enhance human-computer interaction. We are embarking on the NAFAS project, a landmark 30 million EUR initiative set to revolutionize the field.

We are looking for a creative and passionate Game Development Intern to help bring our BCI technology to life through demonstration games! As a developer with Zander Labs, you’ll create an innovative game that illustrate how users’ cognitive and emotional states can dynamically influence gameplay elements like difficulty and pacing. Imagine crafting a game where a player’s calmness boosts speed or power, or where focus adjusts the game’s challenges in real-time. Check out a similar concept here for inspiration: BCI Skyrim Mod.

As our Game Development Intern, you’ll be responsible for designing, developing, the outputs of our BCI technology into various game prototypes tailored for specific use cases. This could for example include creating real-time feedback mechanisms in Unity that adapt to a player’s mental state.

This internship offers a rare chance to combine game development with cutting-edge neurotechnology. You’ll work under the guidance of leading experts, contributing to technology with real societal impact. Plus, you’ll gain exposure to emerging fields at the intersection of AI, neuroscience, and game design.

Ready to level up your game development career? Join us at Zander Labs and be part of a future where gaming and brain-computer interfaces meet innovation!
