RF Design Engineering Intern

Qorvo’s Internship Program is designed for college students currently enrolled in an accredited Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD program. Qorvo offers real work experience, exposure to upper management, and the opportunity to pursue full time opportunities, as available.

Qorvo’s Internship Program offers:

• Challenging, skill-building assignments
• Mentoring and coaching from industry experts
• Lunch & Learns and other learning opportunities
• Collaborative team-based work environment
• Networking and social events
• Final presentation to business leaders

Qorvo’s RF Design Engineering Internships are offered in our High Performance Analog, Advanced Cellular, and Connectivity and Sensors business groups. Specific projects and responsibilities will be determined based on the business needs at the time of the internship assignment.

Responsibilities may include:

• Assisting in one or more aspects of the design flow of highly integrated RF FEM which includes, but is not limited to, common RF blocks such as power amplifiers, LNAs, switches, filters, couplers, and full module integration
• Designing multi-chip modules, integrating multiple technologies
• Designing and running detailed circuit and EM simulations using RFIC EDA tools (e.g. Keysight ADS, Cadence) to accurately predict performance of final product
• Implementing RF integrated circuits including layout of all active and passive circuit elements, along with design verification (design rule checking and layout-versus-schematic)
• Planning and supporting test and measurement for evaluation of prototype designs. Documenting and summarizing design data to support team members

Qualifications:

• Currently enrolled in an MSEE or PhD program with coursework in Analog Integrated Circuit Design, RF Integrated Circuit Design, Semiconductor Physics and/or Devise Fabrication
• Minimum GPA of 3.0
• Understanding of basic circuits, at transistor level, amplifiers, bias networks, attenuators, switches, and power detectors
• Knowledge of microwave passive components - transmission lines, power combiners/splitters and filters
• Basic understanding of semiconductor processes as well as device physics and fabrication
• Familiarity with design and circuit simulation tools such as Cadence Virtuoso or Keysight ADS
• Basic knowledge of methods for making electrical measurements
• Basic knowledge of Linux and scripting (Python, C, Matlab)
• Strong collaboration skills
• Self-Starter with good communication skills
• Effective organization skills for systematic planning and scheduling
• Strong written and verbal communication skills to convey complex technical information
• Detail oriented to ensure design and delivery of high yielding products
