I decided to intern at Ampere for several compelling reasons. Primarily, I sought hands-on experience in performance modeling to explore potential career paths post-graduation, and to build practical skills in using and debugging performance simulators. This internship also offered a valuable opportunity to understand the dynamic interaction between academia and industry, which will help ground and guide my PhD research. Beyond the technical aspects, the people I interviewed with truly impressed me. They seemed genuinely collaborative from a cultural standpoint and offered a wealth of technical knowledge, making them ideal potential mentors.

Flexible, Casual, Invested

Outside of work, I enjoy engaging in various outdoor activities, which Portland offers in abundance and makes it a great place for exploring.

My key advice for future interns would be to prioritize learning as your main metric of progress, especially during the initial weeks, rather than focusing solely on immediate results.

I came across the job posting by chance, and the job description perfectly aligned with the position I was looking for. During my internship, I've gained a significant amount of knowledge and received immense support from the seniors in the company. The work environment here is incredibly comfortable, and my team, in particular, strongly encourages me to share my ideas and feedback. I truly feel that I have grown a lot here, and I've genuinely enjoyed my time at Ampere.

Encouraging, flexible and empowering

I love spending all my free time with my family and friends, whether it's just riding around the streets for no particular reason or exploring new places. I also enjoy joining handmade workshops and keeping up with the latest news about cyberattacks.

Don't hesitate to ask questions, but always ensure you understand what you aim to gain from each inquiry.

I chose Ampere because it presented a unique opportunity to work in a domain, I am deeply passionate about: power management in silicon engineering. This internship has provided me with a valuable chance to deepen my expertise and grow professionally in a direction that aligns perfectly with my long-term career goals.

Supportive, Innovative and Nurturing

Outside of work, I cherish spending quality time with my family and friends, creating lasting memories together.

My advice to future interns is to embrace every learning opportunity that comes your way and actively make the most of it to develop your skills and knowledge.
