Intern - Mixed-Signal Design Engineer

Location: Pasadena, CA, US, 91107 Business Unit: Vision Research

The Mixed-Signal Design Engineer Intern will support the design and development of mixed-signal integrated circuits. This role offers hands-on exposure to real-world IC design projects and the opportunity to participate across multiple phases of the design cycle in a collaborative engineering environment.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Participate in all phases of mixed-signal IC development, including specification definition, circuit design, silicon bring-up, and validation.
• Perform detailed circuit analysis, design, simulation, and verification of mixed-signal and mixed-mode circuits.
• Support layout review, post-layout verification, and design-for-test activities.
• Assist with laboratory evaluation and characterization of silicon using industry-standard test equipment.
• Document design results and clearly communicate findings to the broader design team.

Position Requirements:

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering (or actively pursuing one of these degrees).
• Strong understanding of analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit fundamentals.
• Experience with IC design CAD tools for schematic capture and simulation.
• Hands-on lab experience with equipment such as oscilloscopes, network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and power meters.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and debugging skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present technical information clearly.

Desired Skills:

• Familiarity with mixed-signal verification and basic layout concepts.
• Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively in a fast-paced team environment.
• Motivated, detail-oriented, and eager to learn across a broad range of technical topics.
