Module Design Engineering Intern

Job Title

Module Design Engineering Intern

Role Summary

Support the design and testing of RF power amplifier and transmit modules (GaAs HBT) for wireless communications within High Performance Analog, Advanced Cellular, or Connectivity and Sensors groups. Tasks include simulation, layout, component integration, and hands-on RF measurements under the supervision of design engineers.

This internship provides practical engineering experience, mentorship, and exposure to project workflows; specific assignments depend on business needs.

Experience Level

Entry-level (Internship). Intended for students currently enrolled in BS, MS, or PhD programs; no minimum professional experience required.

Responsibilities

Typical internship responsibilities include:

• Support design engineers to simulate and measure integrated circuit, laminate, and application circuit designs.
• Assist with module integration and interface with filter and IC designers (BAW/SAW, CMOS, SOI).
• Use microwave simulation tools and layout tools to create amplifier layouts.
• Build and operate RF test benches (signal generator, spectrum analyzer, power meter, VNA, probe station) to test and evaluate modules.
• Document results and present findings to team leads.

Requirements

Must-have and preferred skills:

• Must-have: Coursework (including lab) in RF circuit design; good knowledge of S-parameters, transmission lines, and Smith chart; strong verbal and presentation skills.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with simulation tools such as Agilent ADS, AWR Microwave Office, HFSS; familiarity with EM tools (Sonnet, IE3D); experience operating RF measurement equipment (spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, power meters, probe stations); coursework in analog circuit design, electromagnetics, and solid-state devices.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced team environment.

Education Requirements

Pursuing a BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a similar technical field; required coursework in RF circuit design (including lab). Other relevant coursework may include analog circuit design, electromagnetics, and solid-state devices.
