RFIC Design Summer Intern – Silicon Valley Lab

Skyworks Solutions, Inc; San Jose (CA); On-site; USD 36,000 - 66,000; Full time

Job summary

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. in San Jose invites applications for a RFIC Design Summer Intern position. You will work with a design team to develop high-performance silicon RFIC front-end circuits and contribute from concept through production testing.

The role emphasizes transistor-level design, RF/microwave fundamentals, and hands-on lab work using Cadence Spectre/EMX, Keysight ADS/Momentum, and Ansys HFSS. This 3-month, in-person internship starts May/June 2027 at the San Jose site.

Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in an Electrical Engineering (or related) BS or MS program.
• In-person Summer internship beginning May/June 2027 (3 months) at the San Jose site.
• Familiarity with transistor-level design concepts for silicon RFIC and analog circuits.
• Understanding of RF active-circuit requirements and design concepts, including noise, linearity, bandwidth, and small-signal and large-signal behavior.
• Understanding of microwave and RF fundamentals, including S-parameters, Smith charts, matching networks, noise figure, and transmission lines.
• Experience using time-domain and frequency-domain circuit and electromagnetic simulation tools, such as Cadence Spectre and EMX, Keysight ADS and Momentum, or Ansys HFSS.

Responsibilities

• Work with a mentor and design team to combine silicon RFIC design with RF and microwave electromagnetic simulation for high-performance RF switches, low-noise amplifiers, and other RF front-end components.
• Participate in product development activities, including product definition, architecture, system analysis, transistor-level circuit design, layout or layout supervision, top-level simulation, laboratory debugging, and production test support.
