Job Title

Undergrad Hardware Engineering Intern/Co-op (2027)

Role Summary

Work on AMD's Hardware team supporting discrete and embedded hardware products. The intern/co-op will collaborate with engineers to develop applications, validation systems, and tools that support pre-silicon and post-silicon hardware development.

Assignment work may include hardware validation, automation, system/board design tasks, and software tools that improve engineering efficiency.

Experience Level

Entry-level — undergraduate intern/co-op. This is a student role; no specific professional years of experience required.

Responsibilities

Typical responsibilities during the co-op/intern term include:

• Collaborate with hardware engineers on discrete and embedded product projects.
• Develop internal and external applications and large-scale systems to improve team efficiency.
• Support pre-silicon and post-silicon validation, automation, and test activities.
• Contribute to system and board-level tasks: circuit board layout, signal integrity, and power design.
• Use and support JTAG/UNIX tools and hardware test infrastructures.
• Document results, communicate findings, and follow established engineering processes.

Requirements

Key requirements and desirable technical skills.

• Must-have: Available full-time (40 hours/week) for the selected co-op/intern term and able to work onsite or hybrid in the San Jose/Santa Clara area.
• Must-have: Eligible to work in the United States without visa sponsorship (this role is not eligible for visa sponsorship).
• Preferred / Relevant skills: C/C++, Verilog, VHDL, Python, Perl, MATLAB, Spice, Ruby, Chrome OS.
• Preferred / Relevant domains: ASIC design & verification, ML/AI, hardware automation, validation and test, pre-silicon and post-silicon platforms, computer/CPU/GPU architecture.
• Preferred / Relevant domains: System/board design, circuit board layout, signal integrity, power design, use of JTAG and UNIX-based tools.
• Term scheduling: Multiple co-op/intern term options are listed (semester/quarter schedules for Spring/Summer, Summer, Summer/Fall). Specific term dates vary by academic calendar.

Education Requirements

Currently enrolled in a U.S.-based undergraduate program (undergraduate degree) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field. The posting references multiple academic schedules (semester or quarter) for internship/co-op terms. The broader co-op program description also mentions PhD students in general, but this specific posting targets undergraduate students. No alternative equivalent-experience language or certification requirements were specified.
