Job Summary
Microsoft Internship 2026 – Full Job Details
The Microsoft Internship 2026 programme is running three live intern requisitions for India, all re-dated 21 September 2026. Every one is marked Fully on-site with travel under 25 percent, and all sit under the university intern programme. Microsoft describes the setup the same way across all three: interns work on real-world projects in collaboration with teams across the world.
1. Software Engineering Intern – Job 200041085
Located across multiple India locations rather than a single city. This is the broadest of the three Microsoft Internship 2026 openings and the natural fit for computer science students who write code.
2. Silicon Engineering Intern – Job 200056515 (Bangalore)
This Microsoft Internship 2026 role is filed under Hardware Engineering profession, Silicon Engineering discipline. You design, develop and evaluate electronic parts, components and integrated circuitry for digital electronic devices. The work centres on pre-silicon verification — defining test cases, building test benches and running simulation and emulation to catch bugs before production.
- Contribute to and improve the hardware solutions the team develops
- Use performance instrumentation and present results to the team and architects
- Write complete design verification test cases, test benches or automation
- Assist in formal pre-silicon verification of subsystems within a single block
- Use simulation and emulation tools, including signal integrity tests
- Implement technical solutions across logic design, verification, circuit design, physical design and design for test, with guidance
3. Hardware Engineering Intern – Job 200056513 (Bangalore)
Also under Hardware Engineering. This Microsoft Internship 2026 role leans towards Azure platform reliability — you investigate hardware failures, perform fleet-scale triage, analyse system logs and telemetry, find root causes and drive corrective actions.
- Help create robust, scalable, secure designs and verification plans for hardware features
- Read device specification sheets and interpret details needed to design and test hardware
- Ensure test requirements appear in feature and product documentation
- Assist in hardware fleet triage for server, storage, networking and platform issues affecting Azure services
- Analyse diagnostic data, telemetry, crash dumps, firmware logs and hardware health signals to spot failure patterns
Microsoft Internship 2026 – Eligibility Criteria
The Microsoft Internship 2026 condition that disqualifies most applicants is not a CGPA bar — it is the study-remaining rule. Microsoft requires at least one additional quarter or semester of school remaining after the internship finishes. Final-year students who graduate immediately after are outside the stated criteria for this Microsoft Internship 2026 intake.
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree — Electronics & Communication, Electrical, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or related field for the hardware roles
- At least one additional quarter or semester of school remaining after the internship ends
- Coursework or experience in Digital Logic Design and Simulation for the Silicon Engineering role
- Willingness to work fully on-site
- Comfortable with travel under 25 percent
All three Microsoft Internship 2026 requisitions are marked Fully on-site. There is no hybrid or remote option published on any of them. The two hardware roles are Bangalore-specific; the software role spans multiple India locations, so confirm which city you would be placed in before accepting.
