Our ~16,800 employees create world-class solutions in communications, 5G, automotive, energy, quantum, aerospace, defense, and semiconductor markets for customers in over 100 countries. Learn more about what we do.\nOur award-winning culture embraces a bold vision of where technology can take us and a passion for tackling challenging problems with industry-first solutions. We believe that when people feel a sense of belonging, they can be more creative, innovative, and thrive at all points in their careers.\nAs an R&D RF/Microwave Engineer Intern on the ADS Platform team for Summer 2027, you will bridge the gap between electrical engineering design workflows and core software platform capabilities.\nWorking primarily at the Python API and scripting level, you will build custom design automation solutions, validate API workflows, create reference extensions, and explore modern developer productivity tools. You will apply your engineering domain knowledge to exercise the platform's capabilities, collaborating closely with software developers to refine APIs and evaluate emerging technologies (such as LLM integrations, Model Context Protocol servers, or automated design checks).\nResponsibilities\nDevelop Python scripts, tools and utility packages leveraging the platform’s API to automate schematic capture, layout manipulation, design-rule verification, and report generation.\n\nAct as an internal \"first customer\" for new Python API endpoints, evaluating usability, identifying functional gaps, and collaborating with C++ core developers to refine API interfaces.\n\nExplore and prototype novel application extensions, which may include custom workflow automation, scripting integrations, or experimental AI-assisted tooling (e.g., LLM orchestration, Model Context Protocol servers, or automated assistant tools).\n\nBuild example scripts, user guides, and reference projects that demonstrate practical automation methods for engineers and customer-facing teams.\n\nQualifications\nRequired\nCurrently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a technical discipline with an expected graduation date after Summer 2027.\n\nSolid foundational understanding of electrical engineering principles, circuit theory, schematic entry, and physical layout concepts.\n\nProficiency in Python for scripting, data processing, and task automation.\n\nAbility to translate real-world engineering workflows into clean, reusable Python scripts.\n\nPreferred\nHands-on experience with Keysight ADS, Cadence Virtuoso, Altium Designer, or similar layout and schematic capture EDA tools.\n\nExposure to circuit simulation environments (e.g., SPICE, Spectre, ADS) through coursework, lab work, or projects.\n\nExposure to modern software development utilities, such as REST APIs, JSON/YAML data processing, or Python developer frameworks.\n\nExperience in AI/LLM technology concepts (e.g., prompt engineering, tool calling, or MCPs).\n\nThe level of role will be based on applicable experience, education and skills; most offers will be between the minimum and midpoint of the salary range listed below.\nMin $38.31 to Max $41.25\nVisa Sponsorship is not available for this position.\nRelocation is available for this position.\nCareers Privacy Statement ***Keysight is an Equal Opportunity Employer.***\nDevelop Python scripts, tools and utility packages leveraging the platform’s API to automate schematic capture, layout manipulation, design-rule verification, and report generation.\n\nAct as an internal \"first customer\" for new Python API endpoints, evaluating usability, identifying functional gaps, and collaborating with C++ core developers to refine API interfaces.\n\nExplore and prototype novel application extensions, which may include custom workflow automation, scripting integrations, or experimental AI-assisted tooling (e.g., LLM orchestration, Model Context Protocol servers, or automated assistant tools).\n\nBuild example scripts, user guides, and reference projects that demonstrate practical automation methods for engineers and customer-facing teams.\n\nRequired\nCurrently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a technical discipline with an expected graduation date after Summer 2027.\n\nSolid foundational understanding of electrical engineering principles, circuit theory, schematic entry, and physical layout concepts.\n\nProficiency in Python for scripting, data processing, and task automation.\n\nAbility to translate real-world engineering workflows into clean, reusable Python scripts.\n\nPreferred\nHands-on experience with Keysight ADS, Cadence Virtuoso, Altium Designer, or similar layout and schematic capture EDA tools.\n\nExposure to circuit simulation environments (e.g., SPICE, Spectre, ADS) through coursework, lab work, or projects.\n\nExposure to modern software development utilities, such as REST APIs, JSON/YAML data processing, or Python developer frameworks.\n\nExperience in AI/LLM technology concepts (e.g., prompt engineering, tool calling, or MCPs).\n\nThe level of role will be based on applicable experience, education and skills;
