Job description
As an RFIC intern you will work under the direction of our RFIC design leader to develop circuits critical to ultra-low power SOCs. Our market-leading ICs make consumers’ daily lives easier to navigate in connected smart products, healthcare, automotive and other applications.
As an RFIC design intern, you will learn and work on modern CAD tools to design and implement state-of-the-art low-power RF circuits in advanced process nodes such as LNAs, PAs, mixers, filters, VCOs, buffers, or related circuitry. Your responsibilities will include:
- Analysis and comparison of different circuit topologies for a given set of specifications
- Schematic design and simulation of the required circuit over PVT corners
- Layout of the circuit with the support of EM layout engineers
- Extraction of layout parasitics and resimulation over PVT to ensure the circuit meets the required specifications, and modify the design as needed
- Document and present your design in a design review to a group of EM engineers
- Characterize your circuit or others, with the support of EM validation engineers
Profile
