Production Systems Engineering Intern
About The Position
This 12-week summer 2027 internship is based onsite in Menlo Park, California, on Meta's Hardware Design and Release to Production team within the Infrastructure organization. The team supports Meta-designed servers throughout their service life in data centers, including compute, database, storage, GPU, and AI accelerator systems. When servers fail, the team investigates the causes and implements durable fixes. Engineers specialize in areas such as hardware root cause analysis, debugging and triage automation, hardware diagnostics, or datasets and pipelines for early anomaly detection. The intern's project will focus on one of these areas, with responsibility for taking it from design through rollout.
