RFIC Design Intern

We are seeking a motivated RFIC Design Engineer Intern to support the development, simulation, and validation of RF integrated circuits for next-generation wireless and satellite communications applications. This internship is ideal for a student with strong fundamentals in analog/RF circuit design who wants hands‑on experience working with experienced RFIC engineers on real product development and help push new hardware innovations forward. We are considering full-time/ part-time applicants for Fall 2026. The ideal candidate will have strong technical competency, curiosity, and the ability to take the lead and ownership of a well-defined project. They should also be excited to adapt, learn quickly, and grow in a fast‑paced startup environment. Responsibilities Assist with the design and simulation of RF/analog front‑end circuit blocks such as LNAs, mixers, oscillators, PLLs, PAs, VGAs, switches, etc. Perform circuit RF simulations including S‑parameters, noise figure, gain, linearity, stability, power consumption, etc. Support layout reviews, parasitic extraction, and post‑layout simulations. Assist in the analysis of 2.5D and 3D EM circuit models and simulation outcomes. Work across a cross‑functional collaborative team of bright RF engineers. Prepare technical documents and reports, and participate in design reviews and brainstorming sessions. Qualifications Currently pursuing a M.S., or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with 2+ years of RFIC design experience. Strong background in RF state‑of‑the‑art CMOS, SOI, or SiGe technologies Proficient in RFIC design and characterization tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre RF, ADS, or similar. Deep understanding of system specifications and capable of translating system requirements into circuit requirements at IC level. Experience with RFIC layout and post‑layout simulation. Experience with Python, MATLAB, or scripting for data analysis and automation. Prior research, or tapeout experience in RF/analog IC design. Comfortable working and solving problems independently as well as collaboratively within a team. Strong written and oral communication skills in English and comfortable explaining technical concepts to the rest of the team. Benefits Paid, full‑time, onsite internship at our Bay Area, CA location with competitive salary Opportunity to work with a collaborative and ambitious team developing disruptive products. Opportunities for growth, leadership, and project ownership in a dynamic startup environment. #J-18808-Ljbffr
