Location & Immigration Information As you consider the opportunity to join Intel, relocation assistance may be available based on eligibility, current location, and the specifics of the role. Job location and modality of work will be communicated at time of offer. This position is not available in the state of Colorado. This position is not eligible for employment-based visa/immigration sponsorship. Intel sponsors individuals for employment-based visas for positions where we experience a shortage of U.S. workers. These skills shortage roles are typically STEM positions requiring a Master's or PhD degree, or a Bachelor's degree with at least three years of post-degree related job experience. This position does not qualify for Intel sponsorship because it is either a non-STEM position, or a STEM position that only requires a Bachelor's degree and less than three years' experience. For information on Intel's immigration sponsorship guidelines, please see: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/jobs/hiring.html Additional Information This application is for internship starts in late Spring/Summer 2027, with consideration also given to candidates
