Silicon Engineering Internship (6-month Program)

Description

Overview

Come build community, explore your passions and do your best work at Microsoft with thousands of University interns from every corner of the world. This opportunity will allow you to bring your aspirations, talent, potential—and excitement for the journey ahead.

As a Silicon Engineering Intern, you will design, develop, modify and evaluate electronic parts, components, or integrated circuitry for digital electronic devices and other digital electronic systems. You will define design architecture and operating parameters for circuitry and microelectronic components, select components and equipment based on analysis of specifications and reliability. You will also analyze designs and components to establish operating parameters and performance requirements to define complete pre-silicon verification test cases, develop test plans and direct support personnel, or other engineers, in the preparation and execution of design verification testing. This opportunity will enable you to analyze data generated from test results to perform pre-silicon verification of operating parameters and performance requirements.

At Microsoft, Interns work on real-world projects in collaboration with teams across the world, while having fun along the way. You’ll be empowered to build community, explore your passions and achieve your goals. This is your chance to bring your solutions and ideas to life while working on cutting-edge technology.

Academic credit may be available through the Microsoft Intern Program; university-specific requirements beyond academic credit are not supported. This internship opportunity begins 1 Feb, 2027 and spans a six-month period.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
