The Co-op Experience

Software Engineering Co-op students design software that directly controls machinery in a factory process setting. The work is highly hands-on, with many days spent in the lab developing software directly on the machines. You will see the direct impact of your efforts in a way few engineers get to, as the software contributes to the production of chips that power phones, computers, and IoT (Internet of Things) devices worldwide.

Co-op students become full members of the team and take part in all aspects of software design, well beyond coding alone. You will join a cohort of students serving in key roles across Engineering and Operations. Monthly co-op events include lunch with the General Manager, a career panel, and final presentations.
