Job Description

Seeking an Analog/Power IC Design Engineer Summer Intern 2025 for developing complex analog mixed-signal/integrated power management ICs for Industrial Control, Industrial Power, Isolation, and other Infrastructure applications. This design group is at the forefront of the EV revolution, working to develop technologies that will revolutionize electric vehicles (EVs) and enable new levels of power efficiency.
The position requires a solid analog circuit design background including a history of innovative design. The desired individual will participate in product definition, design, and verification. The individual will have a role in implementing the overall system architecture, designing transistor-level analog circuit blocks, simulating sub-system performance, creating and using behavioral models of blocks and the entire IC, doing and/or supervising physical layout and verifying circuit and chip-level operation and performance. Responsibilities will also include detailed documentation, silicon evaluation and debugging, production test development support, customer support, and other activities as required to achieve high-volume production.

 

Job Description
•    Architects, designs and verifies circuits, systems, algorithms, etc. to meet product requirements
•    Develops innovative new designs for patenting or protecting as trade secrets
•    Balancing innovation with execution to ensure that the projects are delivered in a timely manner
•    Demonstrates good judgment in solving a broad range of issues
•    Responsible for custom layout including overseeing the work of layout designers
•    Reports on design results through design reviews
•    Attends design reviews to provide input and learn from other designers’ experiences
•    Research design techniques through technical publications and seminars

Minimum Requirements

•    Advanced knowledge of MOS transistors and analog circuit design
•    Knowledge of complex AC/DC analysis (poles, zeros, compensation), loop dynamics and feedback systems
•    Knowledge of device physics and CMOS/BiCMOS fabrication processes
•    Previous design experience with complex mixed-signal design problems 
•    Knowledge of signals, systems, and transforms
•    Understanding of the end to end design flow from product definition to high-volume manufacturing 
•    Understanding of layout tradeoffs for performance and size
•    Strong background in analog signal chain solutions 
•    Strong knowledge of circuit simulation tools, layout verification tools, modeling tools, and UNIX

 

Additional Skills (one or more of these are highly desirable)
•    Knowledge of high voltage processes and design in BCD and/or SOI type processes
•    Previous design experience with integrated power conversion circuits (DC-DC/Power converters, charge-pumps, LDO’s, rectifiers, amplifiers)
•    MOS Device modeling skills (noise, excess thermal noise, DIBL)
•    Laboratory measurement skills 
•    System knowledge (e.g., isolators) and design skills in system modeling
•    Understanding of mixed-signal solutions including discrete-time digital signal processing 
•    Good written and verbal presentation skills
