Summer 2027 Business Development, Physical & Edge AI Internship

T-Mobile is synonymous with innovation–and you could be part of the team that disrupted an entire industry! We reinvented customer service, brought real 5G to the nation, and now we’re shaping the future of technology in wireless and beyond. Our work is as exciting as it is rewarding, so consider the career opportunity below as your invitation to grow with us, make big things happen with us, above all, #BEYOU with us. Together, we won’t stop! Get hands-on experience, training—and a leg up on a bright future.

T-Mobile didn’t become a leader by following the playbook. We got here by breaking it. We’re a disruptor that now plays on a higher tier, and we’re still raising the bar for millions of customers nationwide. If you want to work somewhere that sets the standard instead of matching it, this is your place. This is an 11-week paid learning experience where you’ll do real work, not busywork. You’ll build relationships with other interns and leaders across the company, and you’ll be paired with mentors who will challenge you to grow skills that matter.

We’ll give you hands-on projects with real stakes, and we expect your creativity and sharp ideas to make an immediate impact. You’ll work alongside T-Mobile employees who have your back and who still believe the best ideas can come from anyone. What It’s Like Our Physical & Edge AI team is small enough to be seen and big enough to matter. We sit at the intersection of 5G, AI, edge computing, and emerging technologies, working with technology, product, strategy, and external partners to shape what comes next. The pace is fast and highly collaborative.

A typical week blends independent research, working sessions with cross-functional teammates, conversations with mentors, and sharing your findings with the people making decisions.
