Internship — ML-Based ADC Calibration

Job Title

Internship — ML-Based ADC Calibration

Role Summary

Short-term internship focused on applying machine learning to calibrate analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Work with the mixed-signal design team to develop digital correction methods that compensate analog non-idealities and improve ADC performance.

Experience Level

Entry-level (Internship). Part-time role; no specific years of professional experience required.

Responsibilities

Typical responsibilities for this internship include:

• Research ML methods suitable for ADC calibration and characterization.
• Collect, preprocess, and analyze ADC measurement and simulation data.
• Design, implement, and train neural-network-based calibration algorithms (Python).
• Integrate digital calibration logic into ADC simulation flow and evaluate performance impact.
• Validate results with metrics (linearity, noise, distortion) and compare against baseline.
• Document methods, results, and present findings to the team.
• Collaborate with analog/mixed-signal designers and verification engineers.

Requirements

Concise list of must-have and nice-to-have skills.

• Must-have: programming experience in Python; basic understanding of machine learning concepts; familiarity with signal processing or ADC concepts; ability to analyze data and produce clear reports.
• Must-have: ability to work in a lab or simulation environment and collaborate with engineering teams.
• Nice-to-have: experience with PyTorch or TensorFlow; familiarity with MATLAB/Simulink; prior work or coursework in mixed-signal design, ADCs, or data acquisition systems.
• Nice-to-have: experience with instrumentation, data logging, or hardware-in-the-loop testing.

Education Requirements

Not specified.
