Internship and Co-Op Programs

What is an Intern?

Intern is classified as a student who alternates between periods of full time study and work. The assignment should be pertinent to the student's field of study. The assignment can be full time or part time and can be year round.

At Xilinx, we recognize the importance of interns. Through the Xilinx Intern Program, students gain valuable, real-world experience to add to their existing skills and knowledge, as well as have an opportunity to make professional contacts. During our Summer Program, we offer a variety of different activities, which encourage interns to learn more about Xilinx, build a network and get in some fun as well. Summer internships typically last 10-12 consecutive weeks from May/June to August/September on a full-time basis.

What is a Co-op?

A Co-op is a student who is combining work experience with full time study. Students must be enrolled through their university's co-op program, and may receive school credit for their work experience. Co-op assignments can be full time or part time and alternate on a quarterly or semester basis.
