Start date: 4 January 2027. End date: 28 May 2027 or 6 August 2027. ## What You Can Expect to Learn - Gain hands-on experience with optical and laser measurement equipment used to characterize electro-optical devices and optical links related to IC packaging. - Develop a practical understanding of optical power, insertion loss, return loss, polarization extinction ratio, wavelength, attenuation, switching, and thermal-stability measurements. - Develop repeatable measurement methods, basic instrument automation, data analysis, uncertainty checks, and technical documentation. - Gain exposure to laboratory bring-up activities, including equipment checkout, safety practices, calibration checks, fixture readiness, troubleshooting, and collaboration with vendors and engineers. - Convert experimental results into clear plots, test reports, standard work instructions, and recommendations that support future laboratory users. ## Project Overview The Singapore Optics Lab is bringing up a new set of optics and laser characterization tools. The intern will work with the laboratory team to qualify selected instruments and accessories, establish baseline test methods, and create repeatable workflows for optical component and electro-optical device characterization. A typical day may include equipment setup, sample or reference-device preparation, measurement execution, data review, script development, troubleshooting, and documentation. The project will emphasize safe laboratory practices, traceable results, and methods that can be transferred to future users. By the end of the term, the intern is expected to deliver a characterized subset of the laboratory toolchain, validated measurement workflows, reusable data-analysis or automation scripts where practical, and a concise technical report summarizing performance, limitations, and recommended next steps. ## Key Responsibilities - Develop measurement workflows for optical power, attenuation, wavelength, insertion loss and return loss, polarization extinction ratio, switching paths, thermal cycling, and electro-optical response, as applicable to the assigned tools. - Analyze results using suitable plots and basic statistical checks; identify measurement variation, setup sensitivity, and tool or method limitations. - Automate data capture and analysis using Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, or vendor software where practical. - Maintain clear, version-controlled scripts and test records. ## Who We Are Looking For - Careful and methodical when handling electro-optical devices and laboratory equipment. - Able to troubleshoot systematically, document observations clearly, and seek guidance when operating limits or safety requirements are unclear. - Comfortable working collaboratively with engineers, laboratory users, and equipment vendors. - Strong written and verbal communication skills, with attention to data integrity and laboratory discipline. ## Relevant Skill Sets - Basic electrical and electronic laboratory skills, including experience with oscilloscopes, power supplies, signal-integrity awareness, and safe equipment setup. - Fundamental knowledge of optics or photonics. - Programming or data-analysis experience using Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, or similar tools, including the ability to process CSV files and generate clear engineering plots. - Useful but not mandatory: familiarity with semiconductor packaging, electro-optical testing, thermal control, or instrument-control interfaces. ## Academic Credentials - Graduate students pursuing PhD degrees in electrical engineering, photonics, or optics. #LI-SP ## Benefits Benefits offered are described in AMD Benefits at a Glance. ## Applying to this role This Advanced Packaging Optical Characterization Intern role at AMD runs through the firm's own careers portal and expects a CV and cover letter written specifically for the posting, not a portable submission carried across firms.
