Internships at Calix
Start your career
At Calix, internships are more than a job— they’re a launchpad. Over the course of 90 days—from the end of spring semester through the start of fall— interns become core members of our team, contribute to real business outcomes, and build connections that last well beyond summer.

A full contributor
Build skills that matter
At Calix, interns contribute to meaningful and relevant projects that provide value to the business. We believe internships are more than a job — but an opportunity to provide real-world impact.

Meaningful work
Ready on day one
Interns begin with clarity—assigned to meaningful projects before signing their offer. From day one, we welcome interns as full team members—encouraging participation in meetings and providing mentorship and guidance throughout their assigned projects.
