Job description

Timing Digital/Mixed Signal IC Design Summer/Fall Co‑Op (June '26 - Dec '26)

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. is seeking a digital design co‑op to develop complex mixed‑signal ICs for frequency control, clock generation, network synchronization, and other timing applications. The candidate will support all aspects of the design process from system conceptualization to mass production, including digital system architecture, RTL design/coding, algorithm and firmware development, digital circuit back‑end synthesis, timing closure, P&R preparation, scan insertion, firmware development for embedded processors, digital design verification, and mixed‑signal verification.

Term: Summer/Fall Co‑Op (June '26 - Dec '26)

Responsibilities

• Digital design specification, analysis, and HDL (Verilog/System Verilog) coding
• Behavioral modeling of analog and mixed‑signal circuits
• Digital back‑end: synthesis, physical implementation (prep for P&R), static timing, scan insertion, etc.
• Verification of digital sub‑systems, mixed‑signal sub‑systems, and the entire chip using a combination of digital models/RTL, firmware, and behavioral models. Test bench development.
• Validation of silicon functionality, behavior, and performance.

Required Experience And Skills

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical (and/or Computer) Engineering, pursuing further studies
• Strong motivation to contribute to all facets of chip design, from conceptualization to release to mass production
• Working knowledge of digital IC circuit design in an HDL synthesis environment
• Working knowledge of digital verification and testing techniques
• Good verbal and written communication and presentation skills, positive attitude, and willingness to work on a team
• Working knowledge of UNIX operating systems

Desired Experience And Skills

• Experience with digital design at geometries ranging from 130–22 nm
• Experience with digital I/O interfaces such as I2C, SPI, etc.
• Competence in high‑level languages (e.g., Matlab, C), scripting languages (e.g., Tcl, Perl, Python, SKILL), and version control systems (e.g., SVN, SOS)
• Working knowledge of System Verilog and/or UVM
• Experience leading a team of digital designers, either formally or informally
• Experience with embedded processor design and firmware/software development, especially for 8051 or ARM cores
• Competence in exploring digital and firmware system/architecture trade‑offs such as memory size, clock speed, multiple clock domains, and the necessity for dedicated logic and DSP
• Experience with memory generators and MBIST
• Low‑power design and implementation techniques

The typical pay range for an Engineering intern across the U.S. is currently USD $26.00 – $47.50 per hour and for a Non‑Engineering intern across the U.S. is currently USD $22.50 – $42.00 per hour. Starting pay will depend on level of education, the ultimate job duties and requirements, and work location. Skyworks has different pay ranges for different work locations in the U.S.
