About the role

First Solar is offering a Spring 2027 internship across departments including research, marketing, IT, engineering, and energy services. Interns gain hands-on experience, work on laser processes, and contribute to projects advancing sustainable energy. Applicants must be pursuing a STEM degree (Electrical, Mechanical, Physics, or Materials Science) and have coursework in related fields. Knowledge of MS Office and microcontroller platforms like Arduino or Raspberry Pi is preferred.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
