Develop AI agents for GaN MMIC Power Amplifier design flows using ADS and loadpull matching techniques.
About the role
MACOM's MMIC Business Unit is seeking an RF Design Intern with RF and AI knowledge to support the design flow of GaN MMIC Power Amplifiers. The role focuses on developing AI agents that improve cycle time and efficiency for the MMIC design team.
What you'll do
- Support the design or design flow of a GaN MMIC Power Amplifier using AI techniques. - Develop AI agents to reduce design task cycle times, such as automated data plotting, datasheet generation, or output matching network topology generation. - Collaborate with the MMIC design team and the AI project team to deliver business-focused design workflow improvements. - Match loadpull targets to 50 ohms over specified frequency bands using reactive components and the Smith Chart.
What you'll need
- Degree or near completion (BSc, MS, or PhD) in Electrical Engineering with RF coursework/experience and AI coursework/experience. - Proven experience developing AI agents to automate and streamline engineering workflows. - Fluency with RF simulation tool ADS. - Fluency with dBs, the Smith Chart, and matching arbitrary impedances to 50 ohms with reactive components. - Fluency in spoken and written English, along with proficiency in Microsoft Office products.
Nice to have
- Experience with millimeter wave power amplifier design and MMIC products. - Experience (via coursework or projects) in GaN power amplifier design. - Knowledge of high efficiency power amplifier architectures. - Experience with EM simulation tools such as Momentum.
