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.
- 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.
- 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.
