Mixed Signal Engineer Intern

Job Title

Mixed Signal Engineer Intern

Role Summary

Hands-on internship supporting analog and mixed-signal design, design automation, and machine learning applications to improve design flows. Work with experienced engineers on circuit design, simulation, verification, and lab evaluation in advanced CMOS nodes.

This internship provides practical experience on defined projects and visibility for potential full-time conversion.

Experience Level

Entry-level (internship). Intended for current students or recent graduates; typically 0–3 years of relevant experience.

Responsibilities

Contribute to design automation, circuit development, and verification tasks. Typical responsibilities include:

• Develop and validate machine learning models for analog design automation.
• Analyze design data, simulation results, and layout metrics to extract insights.
• Collaborate with design and layout engineers to identify challenges and propose automation strategies.
• Support tool development and scripting to improve the design flow.
• Perform analog and mixed-signal circuit analysis, design, simulation, and verification.
• Optimize physical design in collaboration with layout engineers.
• Conduct lab evaluation and debug of pipeline ADCs; assist with test equipment setup and maintenance.
• Document research findings and present progress to the team.

Requirements

Core technical skills and attributes required for the role; preferred items are listed separately.

• Strong foundation in analog circuit design and mixed-signal systems.
• Experience with Python and machine learning libraries (for example, scikit-learn, PyTorch).
• Familiarity with EDA tools such as Cadence Virtuoso.
• Exposure to design automation concepts and analog layout-aware design.
• Experience with data analysis tools (for example, MATLAB, pandas).
• Knowledge of ADC architectures, high-speed analog design, clocking, and calibration techniques.
• Strong communication skills and initiative for interdisciplinary problems.
• Willingness to travel approximately 10% of the time.
• May require export-license review for applicants who are not U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents, or protected individuals.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with transistor-level simulation (SPICE) and transistor-level design.
• Familiarity with IC physical design and sub-micron process nodes.
• Hands-on experience with lab equipment (signal generators, spectrum analyzers, etc.).

Education Requirements

Currently enrolled in an undergraduate, master’s, or PhD program in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field. Coursework or experience in Analog IC Design and familiarity with ADC architectures, transistor-level design tools (Cadence, SPICE), IC physical design, and lab equipment is preferred.
