As an Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer Intern, you will be part of a team developing high-performance analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for connectivity applications. Responsibilities include the design, simulation, verification, and characterization of circuit blocks such as PLLs, DLLs, ADCs, regulators, amplifiers, clocking circuits, transmitters, and receivers using industry-standard design tools.

Basic Qualifications

• Pursuing an M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, preferably from a top-tier university.

Desired Experience

• Previous hands-on internship experience in analog, mixed-signal, RF, or custom IC design is highly preferred.
• Strong understanding of bias circuits, bandgaps, voltage/current references, amplifiers, comparators, clocking circuits, and data converters.
• Solid fundamentals in transistor-level design, device physics, feedback and stability analysis, noise analysis, mismatch, and jitter concepts.
• Familiarity with high-speed mixed-signal building blocks such as ADCs, DACs, PLLs, transmitters, receivers, optical TIAs/drivers, and calibration circuits.
• Exposure to deep-submicron CMOS technologies through coursework, research, projects, or internships.
• Experience with industry-standard circuit design and simulation tools.
• Knowledge of optical, wireline, or RF communication systems is a plus.
• Familiarity with Python, MATLAB, C/C++, Verilog, or Verilog-A is desirable.
• Exposure to PCB design, silicon validation, lab characterization, and debugging is a plus.
• Strong analytical, communication, teamwork, presentation, and documentation skills.
