Intern Software Engineer, Edinburgh, 3 months, Summer 2017
Internships are normally in our R&D Division, and the successful candidates will be working with, and learning about, new technologies in the area of heterogeneous computing.
The ideal candidate is a self-motivated individual who can work through a problem from start to finish, documenting each step and writing tests to ensure correctness. As an intern, they will be comfortable with asking colleagues for help, or scouring documentation for relevant information required to complete assigned tasks. They will be working on technology that is usually not publicly announced and must understand the secretive nature of the work they undertake.
Although we usually offer internships for the summer, we are delighted to accept applications for longer or shorter internships and many of our interns have stayed with us to do university placement years or have become permanent members of our team.
