Anyone here mind brief mind briefing me through the details on getting an Internship over at Intel?

I'm an Electrical & Electronics Engineering Student, Year 3, and required to do Intership for 3 months x 2.

I would like to ask about the work life over in Intel Penang / Kulim?
Are accommodation/food easy to find over these two places? As I'm a big eater.
Do they have actual good canteens?

Should I need to have my own means of transport there? Is it possible to cycle to work? [No Driving Licenses]

What job scope would I should be aiming on as a Electronic Engineering? And will there be Department Rotation happening?

accommodation/food.
Yes easy to find for penang. Not sure for Kulim. There got more than 1 canteens in intel.

Transport
Own transport needed. Frankly, penang public transport is not good. I dont recommend cycling to work since it is quite dangerous.

Actually Intel has too many departments/business unit. What you heard might not be applicable to your department. Only one of my friends hired as GT has department rotation (should call it as team rotation since it is still under same department), the rest of them no.

Then I need to learn to drive and park in 1 month time sweat.gif

Well I'm just looking forward to join their Engineering /R&D Department, but I'm too blur where to join.

Yeah I'm hoping to join Penang outlet.
What is a GT?

GT means Graduate Trainee. Intel will offer GT position for fresh graduate. If you lucky will convert to permanent position.

I see, does anyone know the minimum Intern Time for Intel typically?
My university only offers 3 months :/
Then 3 months again in the next short semester, Can't directly two interns at once sweat.gif

blink.gif Hi Chipz, want to ask, do you have info regarding Intel status on internship hiring this coming Sept - December ah?
Feels kind of sad that current jobs are for Graduate Trainees :/
And I can't join since I'm still attached to my uni ....

I can see so many managers still hiring interns left and right. Have you tried using LinkedIn to reach out to recruiters/prospective managers? If your resume good, should be no problem
*
For the internship division for Electrical/Electronics engineers tho.
My university doesn't have connection with Intel due to their small number...

I'm not sure about the Recruiters and their Prospective Manager on LinkedIn

I last time Googled for industrial contact named ey.teh from Intel from UTAR site, I think will try asking him. But he didn't responded to my email last year.

Yea, I saw a lot of req post for interns and GT too

Mostly GT more than Internships.

Are Graduate Trainee must be fresh grad that have left uni?
Or regular students looking for internship can apply?

I only applied Electrical Validation and Intel MOE one as those seems like the right category for me.
I don't think GT position I would be hired as a currently studying intern.

What do you mean you are not sure about recruiters on LinkedIn? Just set up a LinkedIn profile, list your achievements and backgrounds (Plenty of guide online on how to set up a good LinkedIn profile) and start connecting with recruiters from Intel/ Managers from Intel. Just approach them directly and enquire. Thats called networking. If you don ask, you don't receive. I have gotten many Interview opportunities from Intel/AMD/Keysight/NI/Micron etc just by being proactive and taking the initiative to approach recruiters on LinkedIn. (Mind you, this was during Feb - March this year when the COVID-19 pandemic started to become really serious)

*
I mean I could search for "Intel recruiters" from LinkedIn search box, but I can't "contact/message" them directly, if they doesn't accept my request rclxub.gif
Did you ended up using the LinkedIn Premium feature to connect with them?
Or just wait they respond to your request?

QUOTE(Xflkekw @ Jul 15 2020, 03:08 PM)

The contacts provided by your uni are usually not reliable as 
1. The person may not have job req available in his team right now (if he is a manager)
2. Its outdated (person left Intel)
3. They are manager contacts of previous interns from your uni and they are not necessarily in charge of recruiting and besides, if they are not from HR, they wouldnt know or be bothered about internship opportunities in other team/department/business group. It was the same case when I was in uni, the Intel contacts provided are literally useless.

For Intel, if all you do is just apply through the job portal. You have very little chances of getting past the ATS itself unless you know how to set your resume up with keywords and in an ATS friendly format. You stand a much higher chance to secure a position at Intel if you actually approach and talk to a recruiter/hiring manager. Another tip, when you do approach, be very sure of what you want to do. For example, I have my resume/profile set up for Front-end IC design/ RTL design or front end ASIC flow. Be smart when making your pitch.

And yes, GTs are usually fresh grads that left uni. If you are still in uni, you wont be hired as GT as GT contract is for minimum 1 year. Its sort of like a trial period before they convert you to permanent BB employee.

Also try to look for open position using Workday (if you can access) instead of jobs.intel.com.
*
Okays, noted. But then do they train from the bottom up for those without a strong background in these front-end design?
I'm afraid they might not hire me, because my university doesn't have those front end IC design software such as Cadence Virtuoso / Synopsys EDA tools.
I was only was exposed to my Cadence Virtuoso from my previous internship.
From what I read the Government MoE-Intel Internship was based on Synopsys.


Anyhow, I've try adding the Linkedin Recruiters as you mentioned previously. Hope they responded to my request this few weeks, so I can talk to them.
And try to expand my networking with other companies to secure my last internship placement required for my university. smile.gif

Thanks for the following advice.

Hello there anyone still at Intel know which departments suited for E&E Engineers?

Anyone mind spending their day telling fresh grad their job scope?
Really curious how Intel works.

Would like to ask between is it possible to jump between departments after completing the Graduate Trainee program?

As I currently gotten two GT job offerings after being interviewed by two departments. One from Intel Penang - PCH Hardware (I believe it is the Intel IPG team) and Intel Optane Group in Kulim (not sure details job scope)...

Also I gotten another Interview offer from the Engineering Manager for ATOM Core FPGA and Pre & Post Silicon Validation Team, Intel, Penang but I didn't managed to find a suitable time to interview with him, after solving his assignment problems.

As a IT geek... I actually gotten excited I gotten these two jobs. But then, I feel that it is a hard decision to choose between two.
I also curious on those CPU architecture design/FPGA jobs found within Intel.

I'm kind of sure that once I joined one of the GT program, the jobs is kinda non-transferable. I scared I might not like the job and underperform. Sadly there isn't something like a project rotation program for fresh graduates to find their niche within Intel.

Because this electronics industry is kind of large, seems like endless to learn finish everything...

Short answer yes. you are able to jump between departments although not immediately. Once you are converted from GT to permanent, you are required to stay within that department for a minimum of 1 year.

Unless you are able to provide more details regarding your roles/team. Its hard to elaborate for you what each job entails. My advice is just take up whichever offer that align with your strongest skillset currently. Heres an overview on what skills are usually needed for the major engineering teams in Penang that may help you decide.

Pre-silicon Front-End RTL/Logic Design and Validation (Relevant teams include PCH Front-end team, IPG SIP team, DDG Atom core design and validation team, PSG Custom logic design team) - SystemVerilog/Verilog, Perl, Linux and Shell Scripting.

Pre-silicon Back-End Design and Validation (Relevant teams include PCH Physical/Structural Design team, DDG Atom core SD team, PSG SD team) - Common VLSI knowledge (Stuff like Static timing analysis, clock tree synthesis, etc) You will be working on stuff like Floorplanning, partitioning, place and route and layout. If you are unfamiliar with these terms, google them. Basic scripting skills (Perl/Python) and Linux.
*
rclxub.gif oh god seems like a long learning curve.
Eventually they sent out WorkDay application as a Functional Validation Engineer.
The team will be under IPG.

Based on what I heard from my Hiring Manager, my team is sandwiched in between Front and Backend.
The job scope is quite new, also not really familiar with, due to the uni and industrial gap.

But again really test out 1 year see is I can sink or float lah.

Since industrial IC field jobs, seems very vast and in depth.
Maybe start low from Validation Engineer, slowly can work up to IC design or not? sweat.gif
Hopefully, Intel Malaysia is inclusive, tolerant, and understanding on the current situations for fresh graduates who don't know their strengths or position in their playing field, and Intel can cultivate a pathway for us and further drive our passion in this field. sweat.gif

Hey Chipz do you have the Intel Shuttle Bus Service route?
I'm planning to stay around D-Piazza's area. I'm not sure will it reach me or not.

So far survey:
- D-Piazza's Condo
- Arena
- Elit Heights
- Mahsuri Square

So far I heard it is not operating sweat.gif

When it was operational, the shuttle outside of the office area is mainly factory buses and follows the timing of the production floor.
Are you required to work in office now? Most of the design and development jobs are operating remotely, except those which requires lab access, or on specific request basis.
*
My manager seems like recommend me to be in office.
He worries I might not catch up, and I will fall behind 2-3 months if I move in during June/July.

As I'm from KL, I am still looking for a place to settle in an accommodation issue, since I don't have a car.
And I might need to give up like RM 500/month just for a ride to work, if I can't find a car pooling service.

For Graduate Trainee position, if you do well, you might get converted to a permanent role before the 1 year contract is up.
If no permanent position is offered towards the end of the contract period, the contract could be extended or you'll be opened up to other groups/departments for hiring on a permanent basis.
Your JD seems related to Emulation, which in my opinion, should be exciting and has plenty of headroom to grow and innovate.

Yes I understand.
But I'm not sure does it require me to be physically be there lah. rclxub.gif
I wanted to come but COVID makes everything so inconvenient right now.

Salary ranges for different grades varies between each department. But this is a rough estimate for a typical engineer at intel malaysia that you can take with a grain of salt. Info is based on rumors or stuff you can dig from the internet.

Grade 3 / Graduate Tranee : RM 3k+
Grade 5: 4.5k+
Grade 6: 6k +
Grade 7: 7.5k+
Grade 8 (Manager level): 10k +
Grade 9 (Technical lead / Senior managers): 5 figures
Grade 10 (Principal engineer / Director): 5 figures

To be accurate

Grade 3 / Graduate Tranee : RM 3.3k (non first class) / RM 3.5k (first class)
Grade 5: 4.5k+
Grade 6: 6k +
Grade 7: 7.5k+
Grade 8 (Manager level): 10k +
Grade 9 (Technical lead / Senior managers): 5 figures
Grade 10 (Principal engineer / Director): 5 figures

oof. well it is your choice la. if kl/hometown has better offering then stay where you are la.
for my case, I join GT see got what to explore around, if do until no mood after 1 year quit and find new job in KL only.
