Intern, RFIC Design - Summer 2026
About The Position
This position will assist engineers in designing, developing, and characterizing high-performance RFICs for high-volume RFFE products for use in applications such as 5G NR, emerging 6G technologies, and LTE-A cellular handsets. As the industry moves toward 6G, the candidate will contribute to the development of next-generation RFIC solutions that enable higher data rates, ultra-low latency, enhanced spectrum efficiency, and advanced connectivity features. The product line includes RFICs with LNAs, multi-throw high-power RF switches, integrated couplers, and tunable IC filters. The candidate will support products throughout the entire product life cycle, from product definition through product release to end-of-life.
Requirements
- Hands on use of RF measurement equipment to validate performance of CMOS RF ICs.
- RF measurements – NF, IP3, IP2, matching using smith charts, time domain measurements etc.
- Knowledge of analog and RF IC Design.
- Familiarity with analog & RF IC layout techniques.
- Strength in documentation clarity and completeness.
- Cooperative team member with a strong sense of urgency and an inquisitive nature.
- Software tools: Matlab, JMP, Datapower, National Instruments LabView, Cadence, ADS.
Nice To Haves
- RF/analog IC product characterization and RF measurement techniques with strong technical skills.
- Experience or strong interest in AI/ML and/or scripting is a plus.
Responsibilities
- Design Validation: Performing lab measurements and create validation report with comparisons vs design expectations.
- Test and Measurement: Design and implement in both hardware and software custom test benches used for product verification.
- Product Characterization: Measure, analyze and document data of adherence to product requirements.
- Derivative Product Design: Assist engineers with the simulation and layout of derivative product designs in Cadence.
