Build agentic AI tools for analog and RF circuit design using LLM-based agents in Si and SOI technologies.
About the role
This role involves building agentic AI tools for analog and RF circuit design, applying LLM-based agents to 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
