- 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 JobsML Software Engineer CPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an ML Software Engineer role qualify for CPT?
Yes, if the work is integral to your degree program. ML engineering roles typically qualify for students in computer science, data science, or electrical engineering programs because model development, training pipelines, and deployment work map directly to core coursework. Your DSO will need a job description that lists specific ML tasks, not just a generic software engineering title, to authorize CPT.
Can I do CPT at a startup that doesn't have an immigration attorney?
Yes. CPT authorization comes from your school, not from the employer filing anything with USCIS. The employer doesn't need to take any immigration action for CPT to be valid. What matters is that your DSO approves the position and your I-20 is updated with the CPT authorization before your start date. Small ML startups and research labs frequently hire CPT students for this reason.
How do I find ML Software Engineer employers who understand CPT?
Search for ML Software Engineer roles on Migrate Mate, which shows employer LCA filing history by occupation and location. Employers who have filed LCAs for ML roles before are familiar with work authorization processes and less likely to rescind offers when you explain CPT. You can also ask during interviews whether the company has hired F-1 students before.
Does full-time CPT as an ML engineer affect my OPT eligibility?
Full-time CPT authorization totaling 12 months or more eliminates your OPT eligibility entirely. Part-time CPT, defined as 20 hours per week or fewer, has no impact on OPT regardless of duration. If you're planning to use OPT after graduation to stay in an ML role or pursue H-1B visa sponsorship, structure your CPT as part-time during academic semesters and discuss the trade-off with your DSO before accepting a full-time offer.
What should I bring to my DSO to get CPT authorized for an ML role?
Bring a written job description that lists specific ML duties, such as model training, data pipeline development, or inference optimization, not just a job title. Include the employer name, work location, start and end dates, and whether the role is part-time or full-time. Some DSOs also ask for an offer letter or a statement from a faculty advisor confirming the work connects to your curriculum. The more specific the documentation, the faster your I-20 gets updated.
