At Calix, internships are more than a job—we prepare you for your career. Our internships run from 10 weeks to 90 days, allowing students to begin once their spring semester concludes and work up until they return to school in the fall. We believe that this timeframe allows students to become core members of our team, network across the organization and make important connections. 

An internship at Calix allows you to build marketable skills. You will work on meaningful projects that have goals, objectives, expected outcomes and provide value to the business. An internship at Calix will allow you to build your resume with accomplishments you can be proud of, and demonstrate value to any future employer.

Prior to signing your offer letter, you will know the project(s) that you will be responsible for. You’ll join your team as an integral member and attend team meetings. You’ll experience mentorship from your manager and you’ll be guided through your projects to ensure that they are delivered on time and with value. But an internship is more than just your job. Our internship program includes:

• Computer equipment to make you productive
• Team meetings with the entire cohort
• An executive series to meet with all of our Senior Executive Leaders 
• Introductions to other departments/functions so that you can explore many opportunities across Calix
• Final presentation to share your success across the company
• Meeting with our Talent team to get support in building your resume

Calix is a work-from-anywhere (WFA) company. We believe that productivity is an outcome of talent and drive, and not location. We trust our team to deliver on their commitments and do not believe that you have to be in a structured office to do so. But if you want to come to an office, there is one for you in San Jose, CA.
