Summer 2027 Quality Engineering Internship

What It’s Like

Our Quality Engineering team sits within Vistar Media (T-Mobile Ads). We are small enough that your work gets seen and big enough that it matters. We partner closely with Engineering, Product, and Business teams to validate new features, catch defects early, and deliver a seamless experience for our customers. A typical week mixes hands-on test development, collaboration with engineers, and team discussions where your questions and ideas carry weight. You don’t need a background in advertising or QA frameworks. You need curiosity, a growth mindset, and a drive to learn.

What You’ll Do

As a Quality Engineering Intern (SDET), you’ll develop and maintain automated tests for key workflows on T-Ads Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) advertising platform. You’ll use modern tools such as Cypress and TypeScript while learning testing best practices, debugging techniques, and how automation fits into the software development lifecycle. Your work will reduce manual testing effort, catch defects sooner, and build confidence in a platform that powers digital advertising, helping T-Mobile stay ahead.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain automated tests with Cypress and TypeScript to validate key workflows on the DOOH advertising platform.
• Partner with Quality Engineering, Software Engineering, Product, and Business teams to understand requirements, identify test scenarios, and expand test coverage.
• Run manual and automated tests to find, document, and troubleshoot defects throughout the development lifecycle.
• Join refinement sessions and team discussions to gain exposure to real-world software engineering practices.
• Drive improvements in test automation, regression testing, and overall software quality while learning modern testing methodologies.

What It Takes

• Foundational programming knowledge, with exposure to JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, or Java through coursework, personal projects, or internships.
• Familiarity with software development fundamentals, including object-oriented programming, data structures, debugging, and version control tools such as Git.
• Basic understanding of software testing concepts, REST APIs, or Agile methodologies is a plus. Prior experience with test automation frameworks is not required.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a willingness to challenge assumptions and learn new technologies quickly.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the initiative to take ownership of assigned projects and move with urgency.
• Hands-on experience through academic projects, personal coding projects, or GitHub contributions is highly valued. Professional experience and certifications are not required.

Minimum Qualifications

• At least 18 years of age
• Legally authorized to work in the United States now and in the future
• Must have one or more course(s) remaining in a Bachelors or Graduate degree program post internship
• Employees of T-Mobile or Metro by T-Mobile are ineligible for external Summer Internships, please see Magenta Accelerator if interested

Relocation assistance will be provided to program participants who reside more than 50 miles from the internship location.

Intern wages range from $27/hour to $50/hour. The successful candidate’s actual pay will be based on education/STEM vs non-STEM designation.
