You will own one or more scoped projects end to end, with mentor support, over the engagement. Candidate projects include:

What you'd do

  • Automated test sequence development — Build and validate a test executive script (Python) to automate a manual test procedure on an active manufacturing line.
  • Deliverable: working automation script, documentation, and before/after cycle-time comparison.
  • Cloud data integration — Connect a local test station's data output to our cloud data pipeline, including basic authentication handling.
  • Deliverable: functioning data pipeline plus a short writeup of the integration approach and security considerations.
  • Debug tooling / triage support — Investigate a recurring test failure mode, root-cause it, and build a lightweight tool or dashboard to help operators triage similar issues faster. Deliverable: root-cause writeup and a working triage aid.
  • Desktop application feature — Design and implement a discrete feature (Windows or Linux) for an existing test executive application, in coordination with end users.
  • Deliverable: shipped feature, basic test coverage, and user feedback summary.
  • CI/CD pipeline improvement — Identify a manual step in our test software deployment process and automate it. Deliverable: working CI/CD improvement plus documentation for handoff.
  • Device communication scripting — Write and validate a script to communicate with a test fixture or instrument over a standard protocol (USB, Serial, CAN, etc.).
  • Deliverable: working script and a short technical note on protocol behavior/edge cases.
  • These projects are program-focused examples, not a limit on scope.

What they want

  • Pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Must be returning to school at the end of the internship to continue academic studies for at least one quarter or semester.
  • Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities; U.S. clearance eligibility may be required depending on program.
  • Ability to complete an in-person 16-24 week internship in one of our offices in winter 2027.
