Job description

For over four decades, Cirrus Logic has been propelled by the top engineers in mixed-signal processing. Our rockstar team thrives on solving complex challenges with innovative end-user solutions for the world's top consumer brands. Cirrus Logic is also known for its award-winning culture, which was built on a foundation of inclusion and fairness, meaningful community engagement, and delivering enjoyable employee experiences at every turn. But we couldn’t do it without our extraordinary workforce – and that’s where you come in. Join our team and help us continue to make Cirrus Logic an exceptional place to grow your career!

We are seeking innovative engineering interns to join our team in the design and characterization of high-performance mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs). This is a unique opportunity to work on cutting‑edge technologies and critical analog/mixed-signal circuitry in state-of-the-art CMOS processes.

As an intern, you’ll collaborate with experienced engineers to solve real-world challenges, contribute to product development, and gain hands‑on experience in a fast-paced, supportive environment. This internship will take place during the Fall 2026 semester over the course of a 12‑16 week long internship working a full-time schedule.

Responsibilities

• Assist in the design, simulation, and verification of mixed‑signal ICs.
• Support characterization and testing of silicon prototypes.
• Analyze performance data and contribute to design improvements.
• Collaborate across teams to ensure robust and efficient circuit implementations.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Currently pursuing a MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• Strong understanding of analog and digital circuit fundamentals.
• Experience with circuit simulation tools (e.g., Cadence, SPICE).
• Familiarity with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Strong communication and teamwork abilities.

Cirrus Logic follows a 2+ day in-office work schedule but interns should expect to be in the office more often, up to 5 days per week, based on business needs and team preference. Interns must be based within commutable distance of the work location listed on the job posting, or willing to relocate prior to beginning their internship with Cirrus Logic.

Export control restrictions based upon applicable laws and regulations would prohibit candidates who are nationals of certain embargoed countries from working in this position without Cirrus Logic first obtaining an export license. Candidates for this role must be able to access technical data without a requirement for an export license. We are unable to sponsor or obtain export licenses for this role.
