The Intel Research Network of Labs offers
internships to graduate students who are working toward a Ph.D. in
Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or a closely related field.
In very limited cases, undergraduates and students pursuing a Masters
degree may be accepted as well.
We are looking
for students with strong technical skills and solid academic
achievement who are interested in doing research in the area
of ubiquitous computing. Interns must be authorized to work in
the U.S. without restriction, full-time, during their
internships.
These pages provide an
introduction to the Intel Research Network of laboratories and
general information about lab internships. (Other
internships also are available within Intel.) Each of the three labs—in Berkeley, Seattle, and Pittsburgh—accepts up to eight
students per year as interns. Internships typically last 3-4 months, although some internships may extend beyond four
months. A limited number of half-time school year internships are
also available. After submitting their resumes online, the strongest candidates are
interviewed by the staff and director of the research lab of their
choice before a final hiring decision is made.
Open and
Collaborative Environment
The prime focus of the Intel Research Network
is essential computing: simplifying and enriching all aspects of work and daily
life through application and system technologies that collectively empower
individuals, connect them to each other and into the fabric of networking
society. The research labs, which are wholly owned and funded by Intel,
provide an environment where academic and industry researchers can collaborate
on the basic architectural concepts for future technologies. Intel encourages
an open and deeply collaborative environment for this research. Much of the
work generated by the labs will be published and shared widely.
Why consider an internship?

| "My experience here at Intel has helped to broaden my horizens." |
There are many good reasons to consider an internship with the Intel Research
Network of labs. An internship will give you the opportunity to collaborate
with leading researchers in industry and academia on some of the most exciting
challenges facing the computing world. As an intern, you will get a flavor of
what it is like to work in a corporate research lab while enjoying the
flexibility and openness of an academic research facility. You’ll meet
graduate students from other universities and expand your knowledge of other
areas of research.
As an intern, you will be an important member of our research team. You'll
have the opportunity to explore your research interests and contribute your
ideas in a welcoming, encouraging environment.
Your internship
will enrich your education, giving you invaluable

“hands on” research experience under the guidance of some of
the leading research minds in the world of computing. The
labs’ scientists also can serve as your advisors, offering a
unique perspective to supplement your university
experience.
As a lab intern, you will have the
opportunity to learn more about Intel, and to explore
potential career opportunities within the company.
Historically, more than 60% of Intel interns have gone on to
build careers with us.
Finally, your internship
will enable you to expand your network of contacts. The
relationships you establish as an intern—with the lab staff,
with fellow interns, and with university researchers—can yield
long-lasting benefits, helping to further your career no
matter which path you follow. We hope to maintain our
relationships with interns long after they leave the lab,
whether or not they pursue careers at Intel.
What you can expect as an intern
Internships at
the Intel Research labs are challenging, full-time positions.
The typical internship lasts three or four months, over the
summer. Some internships may extend beyond this
period.
If you are accepted for an internship position, you will go

through a formal new employee orientation at Intel as well as
an informal orientation at the lab where you will be working.
You will be assigned a mentor, based on your area of interest,
who will work closely with you and help you to successfully
interface with the rest of the staff, your fellow interns, and
university researchers.
In the early days of your internship, your mentor will work
with you to explore potential directions for your research and
outline a work plan. Our goal is to have each intern complete
a project by the end of the internship that will lead to a
potentially publishable result.

the summer, each lab hosts a poster session or other
recognition event, during which interns get the opportunity to
present the results of their work and learn about the
contributions of other interns.
Intern Projects
Each intern will be matched with a project
that is best suited to his or her interests and goals.
Following is a sample list of projects that interns at the labs worked on in the past.
- Automatic Calibration of Cameras
- Encouraging Physical Activity
- Prototyping Tools for UbiComp
- Scale-Independent Motion Planning for Modular Robotics
- High Capacity Wavelength-striped Optically Switching
- Mobile Sensing Platform
- Wireless Identification and Sensing Platform
