[Semiconductors] Research Tokyo Student Intern（TRL)

Description du poste:

Introduction

IBM Research takes responsibility for technology and its role in society. Working in IBM Research means you'll join a team who invent what's next in computing, always choosing the big, urgent and mind-bending work that endures and shapes generations. Our passion for discovery, and excitement for defining the future of tech, is what builds our strong culture around solving problems for clients and seeing the real world impact that you can make. IBM's product and technology landscape includes Research, Software, and Infrastructure. Entering this domain positions you at the heart of IBM, where growth and innovation thrive.

Your Role And Responsibilities

This position is for IBM Japan.

IBM Research is one of the world's largest and most influential corporate research labs, from fundamental science & technology research to industrial applied research. Especially, IBM Semiconductors in IBM Research is focused on the most advanced semiconductor R&D, leading with the cutting edge technologies and attracting many attentions in the world.

To accelerate the semiconductor R&D, we are seeking intern students. Current focus areas are, 1) semiconductor logic and circuit design, 2) advanced packaging and chiplet, 3) similation technology, 4) software development for IT system controling the semiconductor fab, and 5) data science for semiconductor. Although the Gate-All-Around nano-sheet transistors are being developed at Albany research site in New York in US, researchers in IBM Japan are working together with the US members as one team. During the intern period, the intern student will participate in one of the five projects mentioned above, work with IBM Japan members to solve the problems, and experiece the world-class global IBM Research activities. Depending on the information and theme, the intern stunent may discuss with the global team directly.

Period：3 to 6 months, negotiable, within the period of January 2026 to December 2026

Time：9:00～17:36 (default)

Reduced working hours can be negotiated.

Place: The allocation of personnel is based on the research topic. Further details will be discussed during the interview.

Daily Salary

18,000yen (for master's)」／20,000yen (for doctoral students)」(in case housing allowance is unnecessary)

24,000yen (for master's)」／26,000yen (for doctoral students)」(including housing allowance)
