BAW Development Winter/Spring Co-Op (Jan-June '27) - Irvine, CA, United States

About the role

This Co-Op position involves participating in the technology development of piezoelectric bulk acoustic resonators (BAW) including device modeling, characterization, and EDA support. It is a cross-functional role focused on collaboration with modeling, process, testing, and layout engineers.

What you'll do

• Construct FEM and circuit models in collaboration with other device modeling and circuit design engineers.
• Analyze on-wafer device statistics of key device parameters.
• Propose new ways to design BAW devices based on physics-based models and data-driven models.

What you'll need

• Current student pursuing a PhD in engineering.
• Availability to work full-time and on-site in Irvine, CA.
• Proficiency with FEM tools, such as COMSOL.
• Experience with scientific programming using MATLAB and/or Python.
• Ability to process, cleanse, and validate the integrity of data for analysis and experiments.
• Familiarity with statistics, machine learning techniques and algorithms, and optimization.
• Basic knowledge of solid mechanics or acoustic wave in solids.

Nice to have

• Knowledge in BAW resonators or RFMEMS resonators.
