- Identifying bottlenecks and working with cross-functional teams to develop and deploy solutions.
- Assisting with documentation, reporting, and other project deliverables.
This opportunity will allow you to sharpen your AI/ML skill sets, technical, and problem-solving skills in a dynamic business environment.
Required Experience and Skills
Current Junior/Senior undergraduate or Graduate student studying Computer Science, Data Science, Electrical, Mechanical, or Industrial Engineering for Co-Op in any of Skyworks office locations, preferably in Irvine, CA.
Must be able to temporarily relocate to work full-time hours from Jan to June or May/June – December 2027 at this location.
Experience using programming languages (Python), and AI/ML frameworks like Pytorch and understanding of AI algorithms.
Proficiency using VScode or other programming IDEs, ramp up learning curve on using code assists to complete tasks. Be able to quickly learn company-specific software (Agentic AI, LangChain, LangGraph, Genie, Databricks, PowerBI).
Desired Experience and Skills
- Programming in Python 2 + years, understanding of AI/ML algorithms, be able to solve problems quickly.
- Self-starter with a strong work ethic, eager to tackle challenges and take ownership.
- Willingness to work in a hands-on, collaborative environment.
- Strong time management, communication, organization, and documentation skills.
Please note: If you have already graduated and are not currently enrolled in school, you are not eligible for this Coop position.
The typical pay range for an Engineering intern across the U.S. is currently USD $26.00 - $47.50 per hour and for a Non-Engineering intern across the U.S. is currently USD $22.50 - $42.00 per hour. Starting pay will depend on level of education, the ultimate job duties and requirements, and work location. Skyworks has different pay ranges for different work locations in the U.S.

Get Access To All JobsMachine Learning Research CPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Machine Learning Research internship qualify for CPT?
Yes, if the role is integral to your curriculum and listed or approvable under your degree program. Your DSO makes the final call. Roles involving model research, experimental ML design, or applied AI development typically satisfy the integral requirement for students in computer science, data science, or related graduate programs.
Can I do full-time CPT for a Machine Learning Research position without losing STEM OPT?
You can do full-time CPT, but if you accumulate 12 or more months of full-time CPT, you lose your OPT eligibility entirely, including the STEM OPT extension. Part-time CPT, regardless of duration, doesn't affect OPT. Plan your CPT hours carefully if post-graduation STEM OPT matters to your visa strategy.
How do I find Machine Learning Research employers who understand CPT?
Search Migrate Mate for machine learning and AI research roles filtered by employers with LCA filing history. Employers already familiar with visa-sponsored roles tend to process CPT offer letters faster and are less likely to withdraw offers when your DSO asks for supplemental documentation about the position's academic relevance.
What should my CPT offer letter include for a research role?
Your offer letter should specify the research focus, the degree fields that are directly applicable, start and end dates, hours per week, and the name of your supervising researcher or PI. Many DSOs at research-intensive universities also require a description of how the work connects to your current coursework or thesis project before they'll authorize CPT.
Does CPT for Machine Learning Research count toward H-1B specialty occupation?
CPT work authorization itself doesn't directly affect H-1B visa eligibility, but the experience you gain does matter. For a future H-1B petition in machine learning, your employer will need to show the role requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field. Strong research documentation from your CPT period supports that specialty occupation argument later.
