Product Engineering Intern

Rambus, a premier chip and silicon IP provider making data faster and safer, is seeking to hire an exceptional Product Engineering Intern to join our NPI Product Engineering team in San Jose, CA. In this role, you will be working with some of the brightest inventors and engineers in the world developing products that make data faster and safer.  

As a Summer 2027 Product Engineering Intern, you’ll play a pivotal role in supporting our New Product Introduction (NPI) engineering data automation and test time reduction efforts for Rambus memory interface chip products. In this full-time, 12-week summer role, you’ll report directly to our Senior Manager, Product Engineering. Our NPI Product Engineering team is dedicated to bridging product development and high-volume manufacturing by driving test, yield, quality, and manufacturing readiness for new products, and your contributions will be instrumental in migrating legacy ATE NPI test data into our Silicon.DA engineering data platform and enabling data-driven test time reduction.  

Rambus offers a flexible work environment, embracing a hybrid approach for most office-based roles. Employees are encouraged to spend an average of at least three days per week onsite, allowing for two days of remote work.  

• Migrate legacy ATE NPI test data into Silicon.DA, our central NPI engineering data platform, including data cleanup, formatting, and validation of completeness and accuracy. 

• Collect and organize test time data from ATE test programs to support test time reduction activities. 

• Analyze test time and yield data by test, insertion, and product to help identify test time reduction opportunities, and summarize findings for the engineering team. 

• Develop scripts (e.g., Python or SQL) to automate data extraction, ingestion, and reporting. 

• Document data structures, workflows, and procedures so the work can be sustained after the internship. 

• Collaborate with Product, Test, and IT engineering teams, and present a final project summary at the end of the internship. 

• Currently pursuing a BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field, and returning to school after the internship. 

• Programming experience in Python and/or SQL for data processing and analysis. 

• Strong data analysis skills; experience with Excel, JMP, or similar data analysis tools. 

• Basic understanding of semiconductor devices and test concepts; exposure to ATE, test data formats (e.g., STDF), or semiconductor manufacturing is a plus. 

• Strong attention to detail, organization, and written and verbal communication skills. 

• Ability to work independently and as part of a cross-functional team. 

• Available to work full-time (40 hours per week) for 12 weeks during Summer 2027 in San Jose, CA.
