Please only apply if you are a student currently enrolled and pursuing a degree in Engineering or a related field at a local University.

The schedule would be a minimum of twenty hours per week. Hours may vary but are flexible, ideally support is needed from M-F 8AM - 6PM. Pay is $22.00 per hour. Co-ops are eligible to participate in our student program for tuition assistance. They may also opt to participate in Samtec's 401k plan.

Summary/Objective: Samtec is seeking an Engineering Co-op to work and train as a Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit Engineer. You will be working on the design, development, and testing of Microwave/RF/Mixed-signal circuit blocks like LNA, PA, VGA, VCO, PLL, ADC, DAC, CDR and supporting circuits like bandgap voltage reference, op amps, and feedback circuits. Working with a team of experienced Samtec RFIC engineers you will design custom RFICs using SiGe and RF-CMOS semiconductor processes. You will use simulation, layout, and verification tools to design the circuits and after fabrication have the opportunity to work in the lab to test, characterize and validate your designs.

Essential Functions/Responsibilities:

1. Design, simulation, and layout of Analog/RF Integrated Circuit blocks, starting from concept and transistor-level feasibility studies
2. Learn to use Cadence Virtuoso design suite for simulation and creating schematics, symbols, and layouts
3. Learn IC design methodology flow
4. Analysis of power consumption, component stress and worst case performance
5. Measure design parameters of fabricated ICs
6. Complete circuit design and participate in design review process
7. Participate in defining bench bring-up and test plans for validation and characterization of designs from prototypes to mass production
8. Technical presentations
9. Engineering support to Production and Applications Engineering teams
10. Familiarity with common lab tools such as soldering iron, voltmeters, oscilloscopes, etc.

Experience:

1. Presently enrolled in an Electrical Engineering Bachelor’s Degree Program
2. An interest in transistor level, analog circuit design
3. Previous or current coursework in:
   1. Analog IC design
   2. RF and Microwave circuit design
   3. Semiconductors
   4. Electromagnetism
