Responsibilities

• You will work in a team of 3-4 interns.
• The internship is onsite at the Keysight Campus, where you will work together with your team in a physical workspace.
• You will be part of a team with an allocated budget, competing against 3-4 other teams in a design competition to develop a measurement instrument. This will involve teardown analysis and innovative ground-up design.
• The winning team will receive a prize of X$$.
• You will be assigned a Coach/Mentor who will provide an overview of:
• The target product and its high-level functionality.
• Relevant datasheets and technical information.
• Guidance on interfacing with Keysight personnel.
• Your team’s deliverables will include:
• Architecture Design, Block-Level Design, or Schematic Design.
• Early prototypes.
• Internship Duration: 3 months, with an option to extend up to 6-9 months.
• Accommodation: The company will sponsor a rental house near the campus for interns during the project.
  

Qualifications

We are seeking highly motivated Master's or PhD students to join a cutting-edge design project

focused on core technology within an instrument. This project will start with a 3-month design phase as a pilot. If successful, the project may extend into 6-9 months, transitioning from design to the physical build of the instrument or module.

• Ability to work in a multidisciplinary team with a focus on design innovation.
• Experience in the development of technology-driven solutions.
• Commitment to excellence and dedication to quality.
• Desire to be part of a collaborative team.
