Job description

Overview

Keysight is at the forefront of technology innovation, delivering breakthroughs and trusted insights in electronic design, simulation, prototyping, test, manufacturing, and optimization. Our ~16,800 employees create world-class solutions in communications, 5G, automotive, energy, quantum, aerospace, defense, and semiconductor markets for customers in over 100 countries. Learn more about what we do.

Our award-winning culture embraces a bold vision of where technology can take us and a passion for tackling challenging problems with industry-first solutions. 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

As a Software Engineering Intern at Keysight's High Frequency Technology Center, your primary focus will be developing software automation for CAD-related engineering workflows, including design review, CAD data generation, verification, and repeatable process checks. You will help build practical tools that reduce manual review effort, improve consistency across engineering handoffs, and make CAD workflow steps more traceable, reliable, and scalable. This work may include translating engineering rules and review criteria into automated checks, improving how CAD artifacts and related metadata are generated or validated, and supporting workflow documentation so that automation can be maintained and extended over time.

In addition to the CAD automation focus, you will contribute to the definition, implementation, and documentation of data ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) workflows and data pipelines that organize engineering and manufacturing data for reliable downstream use. You may also support machine learning model definition and implementation, including data preparation, model workflow development, and evaluation of how these methods can be applied to real engineering and manufacturing problems. Throughout the internship, you will work closely with engineering and manufacturing teams to turn project needs into maintainable software solutions in a technical semiconductor environment.

Preference will be given to candidates that can commit to a 6+ month internship, but shorter internships will also be considered.

Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in an accredited undergraduate or graduate program in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Data Science, Electrical Engineering with a software focus, or a related technical field.
• Programming experience in Python, C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, or a similar modern software development language.
• Interest or experience in workflow automation, CAD/EDA tooling, engineering software, data processing, or manufacturing systems.
• Experience with databases, SQL, ETL concepts, data pipelines, APIs, or structured data documentation is preferred.
• Exposure to machine learning concepts, model development, data preparation, or model evaluation is preferred.
• Candidates must have strong problem-solving, communication, documentation, and collaboration skills for successful interaction with engineering, software, and manufacturing teams.
• Must be highly motivated, detail-oriented, and comfortable learning new tools and technical workflows in a fast-paced engineering environment.

Keysight Internship Program Requirements

Candidates who wish to be considered must be currently enrolled in an accredited college or university undergraduate or graduate program as of September 2027. Applicants who have graduated before the internship start date will not be considered unless they are starting a new undergraduate or graduate program after graduating.

Visa Sponsorship is not available for this position.

Candidates who now or at any point in the future require sponsorship for employment visa status (e.g., H-1B Visa status) may not be considered.

This position requires access to certain goods, software, technology, or technical data subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations. Under these laws and regulations, U.S. persons (which includes U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, lawful permanent residents, refugees, and asylees) working for Keysight can access export-controlled items without authorization from the U.S. government. For any individual who is not a U.S. person, Keysight may need authorization from the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Department of Commerce, or other appropriate federal agency before the individual can access export-controlled items. Employment in this position for non-U.S. persons is contingent on Keysight's ability to obtain any required government authorizations.
