As an R&D Intern at Keysight Technologies, you will apply knowledge and skills developed through graduate-level coursework and research to help advance the next generation of compound semiconductor IC architecture and heterogeneous integration. This role offers deep exposure to real-world product development in a high-mix, high-performance manufacturing environment, working alongside experienced engineers on technologies that directly impact Keysight’s industry-leading products.

Your research and development efforts will focus on advanced microelectronics assembly and integration processes, including pick-and-place, thermo-compression bonding (TCB), wafer separation, and surface-mount assembly . You will also contribute to continuous improvement of existing production processes through application of lean manufacturing principles , statistical process control (SPC) , and root cause corrective action methodologies .

Throughout the internship, you will gain hands-on experience with Keysight’s products, infrastructure, and manufacturing systems, while developing practical skills in process development, data-driven decision making, and cross-functional collaboration. This is an opportunity to translate academic research into manufacturable solutions at a company recognized as a leader in the markets it serves.

Key Responsibilities

• Support R&D and process development activities for advanced semiconductor packaging and heterogeneous integration
• Execute hands-on laboratory work related to compound semiconductor and microelectronics assembly processes
• Analyze process data using SPC and DOE methodologies to improve yield, throughput, and process robustness
• Participate in failure analysis, root cause investigations, and corrective action implementation
• Document experimental results and present findings to engineering and cross-functional stakeholders

Internship Duration

• Flexible duration of 3–6+ months , based on availability and project needs

• Currently pursuing a BS , MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering , or a related field

• Demonstrated experience or coursework related to advanced microelectronics or semiconductor processes (required)
• Experience with III-V compound semiconductor processing strongly preferred
• Hands-on lab experience with semiconductor fabrication or assembly processes such as:

  • Surface Mount technology

  • System in Package

  • Heterogeneous Assembly

  • Electroplating
  • Wafer thinning, dicing, or die sort
• Experience with statistical process control (SPC)and design of experiments (DOE)is highly valued
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills

• Ability to work effectively in cross-functional environments (working with operations staff, engineers, managers and other supporting functions)

• Highly motivated, self-directed, and capable of working in fast paced environment
