RF Mixed-Signal Design Engineering Intern

As a RF/Mixed Signal Design Engineering Intern, you will be responsible for designing and developing mixed-signal integrated circuits. You'll be exposed to a variety of fabrication processes (BiCMOS, SOI, CMOS, GaAs). Plus, have the opportunity to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to deliver robust mixed-signal solutions while growing your technical expertise. This role requires a good foundation in both analog and digital domains, with the ability to integrate these technologies to create high-performance semiconductor solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Circuit Design & Development: Design and develop mixed-signal ICs including power management ICs, ADCs, DACs, and PLLs while working under moderate guidance. A strong interest in design environments such as Cadence or ADS, is a plus.

Verification & Testing: Perform schematic design, verification, and lab characterization of ICs to ensure they meet required specifications

Simulation & Analysis: Conduct simulations for performance requirements, noise analysis, timing requirements, and power optimization

Integration: Integrate analog and digital IP to ensure robust performance across various operating conditions

Test Planning: Develop and execute test plans for block-level and system-level verification

Documentation: Create and maintain detailed technical documentation for designs, specifications, and test results

Desired Skills

Mixed-signal IC Design: Apply fundamental principles and techniques to design mixed-signal circuits with guidance from senior engineers

CMOS Technology: Utilize understanding of CMOS processes and device characteristics in circuit implementation

ADC/DAC Design: Apply knowledge of converter architectures and principles in developing data converter blocks

Simulation & Modeling: Conduct circuit simulations using tools like SPICE, MATLAB, and Cadence Design Suite to verify performance

EDA Tool Proficiency: Use industry-standard design automation tools (Cadence, Synopsys) for schematic creation and verification

Problem Solving: Provide resolutions to moderately complex mixed-signal design problems using judgment within defined practices

Preferred Education and Experience

Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field

0-2 years of relevant mixed-signal design experience

Exposure to electromagnetic simulation tools or Verilog would be helpful
