Product Design Intern - Summer 2026

The Product Design team at Pixar Animation Studios closely collaborates with Engineers, Artists, and other stakeholders to develop the studio's in-house proprietary software used to bring our films to life. We take on some of the most complex workflows and break them down into simple, elegant solutions for users within our Studio. Employing strong problem-solving and analytical abilities, the ideal intern will need to effectively articulate design rationale visually, orally, and in writing. Critical to success will be the ability to build relationships with technical and non-technical users to understand their needs. Through independent analysis and judgment, the Product Design Intern will deliver relevant solutions leveraging various user research methodologies, design tools, and existing and experimental prototyping techniques.
