About the Company
Kandou is redefining AI infrastructure through innovative interconnect technologies that significantly reduce power consumption while maintaining high bandwidth and ultra-low latency. Our mission is to make AI systems more scalable, efficient, and accessible. Today we have one internship position available for max 6 months, in our applied AI engineering Team, for MSc students. Please note: This internship is intended for students who are currently enrolled at a university or higher education institution in Switzerland and already based in Switzerland.
About the Role
Kandou pushes the boundaries of state-of-the-art semiconductor and electronic design, an arena where off-the-shelf AI tools often fall short. As an AI Engineering Intern, you'll join our AI team to build custom, cutting-edge AI tools that transform how our engineers work. You will operate at the intersection of AI and hardware, developing high-impact solutions for our Analog, Digital, and Verification design teams. The goal of this internship is to bridge state-of-the-art AI techniques with complex semiconductor engineering workflows. You will design, evaluate, and deploy domain-specific AI tools that automate, accelerate and innovate in design iterations across Kandou's Analog, Digital, and Verification teams.
Responsibilities
