Overview:

Learn more about what we do.

We believe that when people feel a sense of belonging, they can be more creative, innovative, and thrive at all points in their careers.

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 low-cost 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.
