Summary

As a Module Integrator Intern, you will work on the development of advanced RF front-end modules designed for 5G NR and 6G smartphone applications. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate individual high-performance hardware components into a single, optimized multi-chip module.

Responsibilities may include

• Contributing to the design of RF front-end modules (RF-FEM), including power amplifiers (PAs), silicon-on-insulator (SOI) dies, filter dies, and surface-mounted devices (SMDs). You will ensure that the modules meet target performance specifications while considering size, cost, footprint, and schedule.
• Building complex HFSS EM models of multi-functional RF front-end modules to extract the best possible performance, prevent unwanted coupling, and minimize shielding effects.
• Conducting full module simulations (FMS) across all functional states to identify compliance issues and proposing solutions to improve margins relative to specifications.
• Collaborating with team members to contribute design schematics, simulations, and real lab data.

Qualifications

• Currently pursuing a Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering
• Minimum GPA of 3.0
• Coursework and/or experience in RF and analog circuit design
• Strong understanding of fundamental electronics engineering concepts, including impedance matching using Smith charts, and RF/microwave parameters such as gain, loss, noise figure, and stability
• Hands-on experience with simulation and EDA tools, such as ADS, FEM, HFSS, Momentum, Cadence, EMX, and/or AWR
• Experience with passive RF structures such as filters, couplers, dividers, patch antennas, and/or active CMOS circuits tape-out, along with lab characterization using spectrum analyzers and network analyzers, is preferred
• Strong problem-solving skills.
• Self-starter with excellent communication skills for conveying complex technical information.
• Effective organizational skills for systematic planning and scheduling.
• Detail-oriented approach to ensure the design and delivery of high-yielding products.

Competitive hourly pay commensurate with experience: $36/hr - $48/hr, relevant for the California Bay Area (subject to change dependent on physical location)

Posted salary ranges are made in good faith. Qorvo reserves the right to adjust ranges depending on the experience/qualification of the selected candidate as well as external competitiveness and internal comparability.

Base compensation is one element of Total Rewards offered at Qorvo. More information on the Total Rewards package can be shared upon request.
