About the role#
This Ph.D. internship embeds doctoral candidates within active design teams to work on production IP and research-stage silicon. You will work alongside staff and distinguished engineers on projects that connect circuit theory, device physics, and signal processing to engineering challenges. This is a full-time, paid position that requires on-site work.
What you'll do#
- Design, simulate, and verify analog and mixed-signal circuit blocks across the full design flow.
- Work on production-grade IP, including SerDes building blocks, ADC/DAC architectures, PLLs, LDOs, and amplifiers.
- Collaborate with layout engineers to implement designs and iterate based on simulation and silicon feedback.
- Attend and contribute to design reviews with the engineering team.
- Present research framing and design results to team members.
- Participate in a structured analog design curriculum alongside other Ph.D. interns.
What you'll need#
- Current enrollment in a Ph.D. program in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- Hands-on experience designing and simulating analog and mixed-signal circuits at the transistor level.
- Ability to design and simulate blocks such as PLLs, SerDes, ADCs, DACs, LDOs, or amplifiers.
- Proficiency in independent design verification using Cadence Virtuoso and Spectre.
- Strong fundamentals in device physics, noise analysis, linearity, stability, and low-power techniques.
Location & details#
- Locations: Santa Clara, CA; Irvine, CA; Westlake Village, CA.
- Work Modality: On-site.
- Employment Type: Full-time.
- Term: Rolling.
