$20 - $40 USD yearly
Originally posted 6 August 2026 by the employer.
Design and tape-out mm-Wave reference circuits.
About the role
This internship focuses on IP and design engineering within the RF/mm-Wave Reference Design Team. You will be designing and taping out mm-Wave reference circuits.
What you'll do
- Design and tape-out mm-Wave reference circuits on internal test chips and MPWs.
- Use industry-standard design tools for schematic design, physical layout, parasitic extractions, pre- and post-layout simulations, and Elector-Magnetic (EM) simulations.
- Perform circuit optimizations to meet performance requirements.
- Collaborate with design leads on multiple concurrent projects.
What you'll need
- MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering or other related discipline.
- Transistor level circuit design understanding.
- Knowledge and experience with RF/mm-Wave circuit design.
- Proficient with Cadence based EDA tools.
Nice to have
- MS/PhD in RF, mm-Wave, Mixed-Signal, Analog IC design field.
- Knowledge of RF transceiver building block design (PA, LNA, VCO, PLL, MIX, VGA).
- Knowledge of RF CMOS technologies (Bulk, SOI).
- Prior related internship or co-op experience.
