As a member of the RF Power Product Design team, the RF Power Amplifier Design Intern will work alongside a highly knowledgeable team of RF engineers at the Mesa, AZ Design Center. Initially, the intern will be tasked with the design and design automation of RF power devices of MACOM's high power GaN transistor products geared towards Base Station and 5G markets. As an intern, you will learn the handling of RF devices, biasing devices, capturing accurate RF data and EM simulation. A follow-on activity will task the intern with automating the design approach for the amplifier's matching networks to improve overall design efficiency. The intern will be expected to learn and use existing design automation tools available in ADS and/or MWO and also create additional automations based on learnings during the internship and from inputs from experienced design engineers. This Internship with MACOM will help the Intern to gain valuable work experience in a key discipline, build professional relationships, and take ownership of a business-critical project.
