Prototype AI agents for analog and RF circuit design using LLM-based agents.
About the role
This internship/co-op involves building agentic AI tools to automate and speed up parts of the design flow for analog and RF circuit design. You will work with software and design teams to apply LLM-based agents to real design work in Si and SOI technologies.
What you'll do
- Build and test LLM-based agents that work with circuit simulators (e.g., Cadence Spectre/Virtuoso, ADS) to automate design tasks
- Develop RAG pipelines over design documents, PDKs, and internal knowledge
- Prepare and organize simulation and measurement data for AI/ML use
- Measure agent performance on real analog/RF design problems (e.g., LNAs, PAs, switches, bias circuits)
- Document your work and present results to the team
- Take part in code reviews and team meetings
What you'll need
- Python programming (NumPy, Pandas)
- Familiarity with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic) and agent frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, or similar)
- Basic understanding of analog/RF circuits and Si/SOI device behavior
- Experience using AI coding tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code)
Nice to have
- Experience with Cadence, SKILL/OCEAN scripting, PyTorch, or Docker
- Currently pursuing a BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
- Coursework or project experience in analog/RF circuit design and/or AI/ML
Skills: AI tools, analog/RF circuit design, LLM-based agents, Cadence Spectre/Virtuoso, design automation
