Intern, RF/EM Design - Spring 2026

Murata America

16d • $32 - $58

About The Position

The EM design intern will support RFIC design teams in EM optimization and design of advanced RF Front End ICs and modules for pSemi’s product development efforts for mobile wireless RF front end semiconductor products for cellular handsets. Products are expected to include multiple RF sub-circuits including switches, low noise amplifiers, bias networks, power amplifiers, filters, couplers, passive RF components and the analog/digital circuitry to control them. The candidate will support products throughout the entire product life cycle from product definition through product release to end-of-life.

Requirements

• Course work/projects demonstrating knowledge of electromagnetics, passive designs like couplers, inductors, splitters, filters, antennas, etc.
• Knowledge of RF measurements – NF, IP3, IP2, S-parameters, matching using smith charts, time domain measurements etc.
• Software tools: Practical knowledge of EM simulation tools such as HFSS/HFSS-3D layout, EMX /Momentum/Sonnet or similar tools, ADS or equivalent circuit design tools, MS Office.
• Full-time enrollment in accredited bachelor’s degree program in Electrical Engineer (must be completing 3+ year) or MSEE candidate

Nice To Haves

• Coursework/projects demonstrating RFIC design including LNA/PA/SW design
• Strength in documentation clarity and completeness
• Cooperative team member with a strong sense of urgency to meet product requirements on schedule
• Familiarity with Cadence virtuoso, PCB/Module layout tools like allegro/zuken
• Scripting knowledge using python, or similar.
• Familiarity of working in a Linux environment.
• Lab experience calibrating and using network analyzer, spectrum analyzer, GSG probes, oscilloscopes, etc.

Responsibilities

• Product execution: Supporting design and development of advanced RF Front End circuits in the pSemi’s UltraCMOS process, working with the design teams to develop industry leading products that hit the required performance levels while meeting quality, cost and manufacturability metrics
• Product Design and Validation: Support development of high-performance products through co-design of passive and active devices.
• EM Modeling: Develop EM models for modules/ICs to support co-simulations efforts.
• Passive design/validation: Help support research and development efforts in passive designs like couplers, inductors by taping out designs and confirming performance through measurements.
• EM infrastructure: Help the EM team develop and maintain EM infrastructure including scripts for EM model set up, cloud/local simulation flow, evaluate new and existing EM tools, etc.
