Acoustic Wave Device Modeling and Design Intern

MACOM•Lowell, MA

About The Position

As a member of the Advanced Filter Development Team, the Acoustic Wave Filter Development Intern will work alongside experienced engineers providing mentoring, guidance, and introductions to colleagues. This Internship with MACOM will help the Intern to gain valuable work experience in acoustic wave filtering solution development, build professional relationships, and take ownership of a business-critical project. During the 12 weeks each Intern will: Be given an individual and well-defined project with a topic related to acoustic wave filter device physics model development (equivalent circuit and/or finite element), acoustic wave filter design, microfabrication, process development, and/or device characterization. Gain hands on experience. Receive excellent training and ongoing supervision. Be invited to attend an intern webinar series. Attend networking/social events. Attend and present at Poster Session about each Interns project successes and pitfalls. Receive formal, written feedback.
