What is an Optics Photonics Internship?

An Optics Photonics Internship is a temporary position for students or recent graduates to gain practical experience in the fields of optics and photonics. Interns work alongside professionals to assist with research, development, and testing of technologies related to the manipulation and application of light. These internships are commonly found in industries such as telecommunications, medical devices, manufacturing, and scientific research. Participants gain valuable hands-on skills, exposure to cutting-edge projects, and networking opportunities that can enhance their future careers in optics and photonics.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Optics Photonics Intern, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Optics Photonics Intern, you typically need a solid background in physics, optics, or engineering, often demonstrated by progress toward a relevant degree. Familiarity with optical simulation software (such as Zemax or COMSOL), laboratory equipment, and data analysis tools is highly valued. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication skills set candidates apart in collaborative research environments. These skills are crucial for contributing to innovative projects, ensuring accurate experimental results, and supporting team objectives in the fast-evolving field of photonics.

What types of projects and responsibilities can I expect during an Optics Photonics Internship?

As an Optics Photonics Intern, you'll typically work on hands-on projects such as designing and testing optical components, conducting laboratory experiments, and analyzing data. You'll often collaborate closely with senior engineers and researchers to support ongoing research or product development. Daily tasks may include assembling optical setups, calibrating equipment, documenting results, and contributing to technical reports. These experiences provide valuable exposure to real-world applications and can help you build foundational skills for a career in optics and photonics.

Job description

Job Details:Job Description: 

As a Silicon Photonics (SiP) Process or Product Integration Engineer, you will be part of Intel's SiP Process Development and Manufacturing (SPDM) team that is leading Intel's market transition and driving innovation for the next generation of optical interconnect products. You will play a critical role in the next generation of silicon photonics product roadmaps, fabrication process development, yield improvement roadmaps, and reliability qualifications.
Primary Responsibilities:

  • A Process Integrator collaborates with Yield Analysis, Device and Defect Engineers, IPS (SiP Product Division) designers, and Process Engineers to ensure new processes and products are capable of meeting yield and reliability requirements at the time of PRQ.

  • Defines and establishes process flow, procedures, and required equipment to develop new devices or products. Plans and conducts experiments to fully characterize the process throughout the development cycle.

  • Trains production/receiving engineers for transfer to high volume manufacturing.

  • A Product Integration Engineer (PIE) will act as a key technical leader and the primary fab contact for integrating one or more products from customer roadmaps into F11x's fabrication process.

  • You will be responsible for driving and managing yield optimization efforts, New Product Introduction (NPI) roadmaps, process development, and Test/SORT/Burn-in capacity/capability to deliver product qualification milestones throughout all phases of the product life cycle (PLC).

  • You will be highly engaged in cross-functional teams to solve technical problems and deliver product milestones; interfacing between IPS, F11x process engineering, finance, planning, wafer-level test, quality and reliability (QnR), and OSAT teams.

Qualifications:

You must possess the minimum qualifications to be initially considered for this position.
