University Recruiting

At the University level, Broadcom is connecting top students with summer internships/Co-Ops and full-time opportunities in a variety of specialties, including Engineering, Finance, Human Resources, Sales and Marketing/Communications. While there is a strong focus on hiring engineering majors (EE, CE, IS, CS, Mathematics, Software Systems, Enterprise Software) at the B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. level, we also have a broad spectrum of opportunities for MBAs and undergraduate business students.

Broadcom has active internships/Co-Ops and full-time opportunities at all of our United States and most of our International locations. An internship/Co-Op with Broadcom gives you the opportunity to acquire practical, meaningful and relevant work experience, while exposing you to the culture of a global leader in wired and wireless broadband communications semiconductors.

If you are a student or graduate of UCLA or UC Irvine, we invite you to visit the college recruiting microsite for your university to get specific information about current opportunities and Broadcom's connection to these top rated schools.

Internship/Co-Op Opportunities

Since 2001, Broadcom has been connecting top students with challenging internship and co-op positions that offer the opportunity to work with some of the most experienced and talented individuals in the industry. We have hired interns located in countries around the globe, including the United States, United Kingdom, India, Israel, Canada, China, Singapore and Taiwan. All of our locations host interns from a variety of backgrounds with diverse representation in degrees, majors and cultural experiences.

Broadcom's Internship/Co-Op Program is a paid, full-time (40+ hours) internship or co-op (with no guarantee of continued employment throughout the academic school year or full-time employment upon graduation). The University Recruiting department assists business units and their departments by providing formalized intern programming throughout the internship to assimilate the interns to common Broadcom practices and skills needed to satisfy their internship or Co-Op requirements.

Program Requirements

Interns are students who are currently pursuing a BS, MS or PhD degree from an accredited University or College. Students can use their work experience at Broadcom to gain practical knowledge in their chosen major, dependent on class load and work authorization restrictions, if any. Internship duration is generally set at the beginning of the assignment and may be extended or shortened based on company needs. Interns are permitted to work throughout the school year until the completion of their degree program. Interns generally work part-time (20 hrs per week) during the school year and may work full time (40 hours per week) over the summer and during extended holiday periods.

Co-Ops are students who are currently enrolled in their College or Universities Co-Op Program, while pursuing a BS, MS or PhD degree. These students are required to apply classroom knowledge to actual work situations to gain hands-on work experience and an understanding of business culture and expectations. Co-Op students are generally full time (40 hours per week) and assignments usually last 4, 8 or 12 months duration through Spring, Summer, and Fall (depending on the College/University Co-Op Program and student availability). Co-Op assignments generally alternate between academic terms, until the student completes the degree program.
