Keysight Technologies is hiring a Test Engineering Intern Tech III for its Semiconductor Infrastructure Solutions organization. The role develops and supports software for metrology systems, inspection automation, and manufacturing workflows, including hardware integration, data pipelines, and modernization of engineering tools.
Responsibilities
This position offers a unique and high-impact opportunity to work at the intersection of software development, metrology, and advanced optical manufacturing. The role provides hands-on experience developing, deploying, and sustaining production‑critical systems that directly support manufacturing operations, yield improvement, and inspection throughput. This role will create tools that are immediately used on the factory floor, with clear value-added results that influence day‑to‑day operations and long‑term manufacturing scalability. Work will span greenfield development, legacy system support, and modernization of fragile or undocumented workflows into robust, maintainable solutions
Primary responsibilities include designing, developing, and supporting software for metrology systems and inspection automation across the factory. This includes full‑stack application development, hardware and instrument integration, scripting and automation for measurement tools, and construction of data pipelines for automatic data capture, parsing, reporting, and yield visibility. The engineer will work closely with metrology engineers, manufacturing engineers, and hardware designers to interface with custom instrumentation, cameras, microcontrollers, CNC equipment, and legacy systems. Many projects require development against hardware still under design, demanding strong problem‑solving skills, structured testing approaches, and close cross‑functional collaboration
In addition to metrology and inspection support, this role is responsible for modernizing engineering workflows, replacing manual and highly technical engineering tools with intuitive, user‑friendly environments that enable the broader team to perform critical tasks reliably and consistently. Significant emphasis is placed on documentation, code quality, and long‑term maintainability to ensure sustainability beyond initial deployment. Clear communication, careful working methods, and ownership through early releases are essential
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field
Strong foundation in software engineering principles, including data structures, algorithms, version control, and debugging
Demonstrated proficiency in multiple high‑level programming language commonly used for engineering tools and automation (e.g., Python, C#, JavaScript)
Demonstrated proficiency in at least one low-level capable language commonly used for engineering tools and automation (e.g. Rust, C++)
Experience developing maintainable, production‑quality code through coursework, internships, co‑ops, or project work
Basic understanding of software interaction with hardware or external systems (e.g., instrumentation APIs, IPC, device I/O, or sensor data)
Clear written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to produce technical documentation
Careful, structured working methods suitable for production and manufacturing environments
Preferred
Pursuing Master's Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field
Prior internship, co‑op, or project experience supporting manufacturing, metrology, instrumentation, robotics, or industrial automation
Experience with full‑stack or application development
Familiarity with instrument interface programming with NI Lab-View or Keysight Vee
Familiarity with data acquisition systems, measurement equipment, or scientific/engineering data workflows
Exposure to image processing or computer vision concepts
Experience working with legacy codebases or refactoring partially documented software
Experience interfacing software with CNC machines, lasers, cameras, microcontrollers, or similar hardware is a strong plus
Self‑starter mindset with demonstrated ability to take ownership of tools from development through deployment and sustainment
Benefits
Keysight Technologies is an electronic measurement company.
