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 System 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:

• Performing and helping develop RF communication system simulations and level-plan analyses using a variety of software tools to capture component-level and block-level requirements for transmit/receive functions
• Using MATLAB, SystemVue, Excel and other tools to simulate and analyze RF components in the context of cellular phones
• Making optimum tradeoffs between performance, size, cost, and schedule for RF front-end products targeting mobile handsets
• Working with QORVO Systems Architects on a variety of advanced development projects including IOT, 5G, MIMO, CA, ET, UWB, baseband predistortion, antenna tuning, etc.
• Working as a member of a cross-functional team to guide integration of functional blocks (Power Amplifiers, LNA, acoustic filters, SOI switches) into a module
