Last updated: October 2026
Infineon had 26 student-intern requisitions open in the United States on October 25, 2026, and 24 of them publish an hourly pay range, from $20.00 at the lowest to $42.50 at the highest. They sit on Infineon's own job site, none states which term it fills, and 14 require US citizenship, permanent residency or protected-individual status because of export controls. In plain words, you apply during 2026 and you ask the recruiter whether the role starts in January or summer 2027. Three reqs we saw on October 17 were gone by October 25, so the board moves fast. This guide covers Infineon Technologies Americas Corp. and its US sites.
What Is an Infineon Internship?
An Infineon internship in the US is an on-site student role at Infineon Technologies Americas Corp., the American arm of the German semiconductor maker, posted one req at a time. Infineon's Americas page lists regional headquarters in California, and the live reqs sit at sites including Leominster and Andover, Massachusetts, Lexington, Kentucky, and San Jose and El Segundo, California. Each is titled "Internship" plus a function and is marked as a temporary student role. Infineon also runs student programs in Germany, Austria and Asia, which are outside this guide. It doesn't publish a US class size or a conversion rate.
When Do Infineon Internship Applications Open for 2027–2028?
Infineon posts US student roles all year rather than in one wave. Of the 26 reqs open on October 25, 2026, 22 were posted between August 14 and October 16, and the rest on January 15, April 9, June 8 and July 10. No req states a start date, so the lead time can't be stated. Infineon's job site lists a posted date for each req, and no req states a deadline.
26 US student-intern reqs are open and none states a closing date. Pick the function that matches your degree, check the citizenship line, and apply this week. Ask each recruiter which term the role fills.
Sixteen of the 26 reqs were posted between September 7 and 22, so interviews for them are likeliest this fall. Infineon publishes no schedule, and one Reddit account describes three interview rounds.
Expected: new reqs keep appearing. This year's earlier reqs were posted on January 15, April 9, June 8 and July 10, so roles do show up outside the fall wave. That's one cycle of evidence.
Expected: summer interns start around May or June, but no req states a start date. One Leominster req describes a 12-week summer internship.
Expected: the next large batch of reqs, since 22 of this year's 26 were posted between August 14 and October 16, 2026.
How to read this page: our dates come from tracking previous recruiting cycles and daily posting data. Treat them as informed estimates based on historical patterns, not confirmed dates. The company's official careers page is always the most current source. If a role is posted there, go by that, even if this page suggests the window hasn't opened yet.
Why You Must Apply the Week Applications Open
None of Infineon's 26 US student reqs states a closing date, so there is no deadline to plan around, and no req says when the role starts. What the board shows is turnover. Three of the 29 reqs we saw on October 17 (analog design in Morrisville, North Carolina, IC analog design in Andover and technical product marketing in San Jose) were no longer listed on October 25, and no new ones had been added. A January 15 req is still up, so some stay open for months. With 10 of the reqs at one site in Leominster, a fast apply matters. Apply within days of finding a fit.
Which Infineon Internship Programs Should You Target?
Infineon has no branded US program, so these are the groups of reqs live on October 25, 2026.
| Track | Focus | Duration | Key skills |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing and equipment engineering (Leominster, MA; 10 reqs) | Test, package and process engineering, assembly, calibration and unit-test equipment, sustaining product engineering, R&D product work; $25.00 to $39.50 an hour | Not stated; one 12-week summer role, one intern or co-op | Test systems, CAD, JMP and Excel, lean and process basics |
| Chip design and design infrastructure (San Jose, El Segundo, Andover, Lexington KY; 6 reqs) | Analog and mixed-signal design, design verification, PDK and MDL engineering; $23.50 to $42.50 an hour | Not stated | Analog circuits, Cadence, scripting in Python, Perl or TCL |
| Applications, product and systems engineering (7 reqs) | Applications, validation, field applications, system architecture, product engineering, data center power systems; $20.00 to $42.50 an hour on five of the seven | Not stated | Circuit fundamentals, power devices, test and debug |
| Embedded systems and product marketing (San Jose, Austin, Dallas / El Segundo; 3 reqs) | Embedded software, product marketing engineering; $25.00 to $38.50 an hour | Not stated | Embedded programming, communication |

What Are the Eligibility Requirements?
Infineon sets eligibility per req, but two rules recur across the board.
• Degree: most reqs ask for students pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree in electrical, electronics or computer engineering. Package and process roles take mechanical, materials or chemical engineering, and the R&D project role takes project management or business.
• Level: two reqs are for master's or Ph.D. students, and two want junior standing or higher.
• US person status: 14 of 26 reqs require proof of US citizenship, permanent US residency or protected-individual status, because the work involves documents controlled by US export laws.
• Right to work: employment is contingent on proof of legal right to work in the United States, references, a background check and a drug test.
• GPA: none of the reqs states a minimum.
Can International Students Apply?
For about half the reqs, no. Fourteen of the 26 require proof of US citizenship, permanent residency or protected-individual status, and the reqs add that a US export license may be needed for some hires. The other 12 don't state it, which isn't the same as a yes, and every req makes employment contingent on proof of a legal right to work. Ask the recruiter before you invest in an application.

Build These Skills Before You Apply
Each row maps a skill from Infineon's live reqs to a remote Externship that produces a finished project.
| Skill (from real JDs) | JD evidence | Externship that builds it |
|---|---|---|
| Embedded and connected devices | Embedded Systems Engineer interns (San Jose, Austin); Applications Engineer: "bench setups for simple product debugging" | Hydroficient Advanced: IoT Cyber Defense |
| Process and equipment improvement | Leominster Process Engineering and Equipment Engineering interns; JMP and Excel for data work | Amazon Fulfillment Center Operational Strategy & People Analytics |
| Data and test analytics | R&D Product Engineer: test compliance for product specifications; reqs ask for data analysis in 11 of 26 | Breaking Games SQL & Database Architecture |
None of these Externships is affiliated with Infineon. Most run about 8 weeks, which is long enough to finish a project before a spring or summer start.
What Is the Infineon Application and Interview Process Like?
Infineon doesn't publish a US intern interview format, so this combines its reqs with one first-hand account.
1. Search with the US filter. Infineon's job site covers the whole world, and most of its student programs are outside the US.
2. Apply per req. Each req is its own application, and each links to Infineon's student application guidance and CV tips.
3. Interviews. One commenter on Reddit, who interned in analog field applications engineering as an undergraduate, described resume questions, a MOSFET versus BJT comparison they were asked to draw, a project deep dive and three rounds, the last two on the same day. That's one account, and the year isn't stated.
4. Offer. Employment is contingent on proof of legal right to work, references, a background check, a drug test and signed onboarding documents.
What Students on Reddit Say
Reddit has one usable account of an Infineon US internship interview; the other Infineon threads concern programs in India, Austria and Romania.
A student who interned in analog field applications engineering said the interviewers asked resume questions and whether they knew the difference between MOSFETs and BJTs, well enough to draw both and compare them. There were three rounds in total, the last two on the same day over WebEx with two different people.
How Do You Stand Out for an Infineon Internship?
First, read the citizenship line before anything else, because 14 of 26 reqs require US person status and will screen out everyone else. Second, know circuit fundamentals cold: the one interview account we found centered on MOSFETs versus BJTs and a project deep dive. Third, match the level to the req, since some want master's or Ph.D. students and two want juniors or above, and bring a hands-on project from a lab, a class or a personal build. Infineon doesn't publish applicant counts or a conversion rate.

FAQ
Can I still apply for a summer 2026 Infineon internship?
No. Summer 2026 internships have ended. On October 25, 2026, Infineon's job site listed 26 US student-intern reqs, and none states a term. Ask each recruiter whether the role starts in January or summer 2027, and apply soon, because reqs leave the board when they are filled.
When do Infineon summer 2027 internship applications open?
Postings are already up, but Infineon doesn't label them by summer. Twenty-two of the 26 US reqs were posted between August 14 and October 16, 2026, and earlier ones went up on January 15, April 9, June 8 and July 10. Roles appear year-round, so check the US board every week or two.
How much do Infineon interns make?
Infineon publishes pay on 24 of its 26 US reqs. Ranges run from a lowest minimum of $20.00 to a highest maximum of $42.50 an hour, such as $30.00 to $34.50 for an R&D Product Engineer in Leominster. The reqs say the rate depends on the highest level of education completed.
Can international students apply to Infineon in the US?
For about half the reqs, no. Fourteen of 26 require proof of US citizenship, permanent residency or protected-individual status, because the work involves export-controlled documents. The other 12 are silent on it, and all make employment contingent on proof of a legal right to work. Confirm with a recruiter first.
What degree do I need for an Infineon internship?
Most reqs ask for students pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree in electrical, electronics or computer engineering. Two want master's or Ph.D. students, and two want junior standing or higher. Package and process roles take mechanical, materials or chemical engineering, and one project role takes project management or business.
Where are Infineon's US internships located?
Mostly Massachusetts: 10 reqs in Leominster and 3 in Andover. The rest are in Lexington, Kentucky (3), San Jose and El Segundo, California (2 each), Livonia, Michigan (2), and single reqs in Warwick, Rhode Island, Colorado Springs, Austin and Dallas. Every req is on site.
How long is an Infineon internship?
Infineon doesn't state a length on most reqs. One Leominster role describes a 12-week summer internship, and another is for an intern or co-op. Since reqs also omit start dates, ask the recruiter about length and timing before you accept or plan around a term.
How quickly do Infineon intern reqs close?
Infineon states no closing dates, but reqs do come down. Three of the 29 student-intern reqs we saw on October 17, 2026 were gone by October 25, and no new ones were added. A January 15 req was still up, so lifespans vary from days to months. Apply within days of finding a fit.
Infineon's 26 US student reqs are open now and leave the board as they fill, so apply this week to the ones that fit your degree and US status. A remote Externship can give you a finished project to talk about in the interview.
