Front End Software Engineering Paid Internship: Summer 2025 (Teradyne, San Jose, CA)
Tri Pham, one of our CS instructors at Foothill, has shared a 3-month summer internship opportunity (with a possible extension) at his company. The internship opportunity description can be seen below:
Front End Software Engineering Intern - Summer 2025 (Teradyne, San Jose, CA) Job Details | Teradyne
While the posting mentions that you should be pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, community college students who are on that path are fully eligible. In fact, be sure to mention in your resume that you're a Foothill College student since Prof. Pham is the hiring manager for this position.
The position does require the candidates to be local to the Bay Area during the internship duration, since it's an in-person (not remote) opportunity.
The intern job has also been advertised at other campuses such as UC Santa Cruz, SJSU, and UC Davis.
The resumes will be routed to Prof. Pham for reviewing, and possible interview scheduling. It will be closed by end of April, or sooner.
Prof. Pham hopes to see as many Foothill student resumes as possible.
