Photonics Research Graduate Intern

Job Description:

Intel Labs is seeking a Photonics Research Intern to join our Photonics Research Lab. This role involves collaborating with researchers on the design, fabrication, and characterization of silicon-based photonics devices for optical communications and sensing applications. The intern will develop measurement and data acquisition techniques, perform optical and electrical testing, and conduct simulation and data analysis. The internship is typically for 6 months, with the possibility of renewal up to 12 months.

In this role, your responsibilities will include:

• Assist in the design and fabrication of silicon-based photonics devices.
• Develop and implement techniques for measuring and acquiring data to characterize photonics devices.
• Conduct optical and electrical testing, simulation, and data analysis.
• Collaborate effectively with researchers and interdisciplinary teams.
• Communicate research findings and progress clearly and professionally.
• Demonstrate strong communication skills in both written and verbal formats.
• Work independently and take initiative in problem-solving and project management.
• Adapt to a fast-paced and challenging professional environment, learning quickly and addressing new challenges.

Qualifications:

You must possess the below minimum education requirements and minimum required qualifications to be initially considered for this position.
