Circuit Design Engineering Intern

Job Details:

Job Description:

As an Analog Circuit Design Engineering Intern, you will contribute directly to Intel’s cutting-edge analog and mixed-signal circuit development efforts. In this role, you will participate in the design, simulation, and analysis of analog and mixed-signal circuits, supporting robust circuit implementation and integration. Your work will leverage graduate-level coursework and hands-on project experience to address real-world circuit design challenges. This position offers a collaborative, hands-on environment to deepen your technical expertise in analog circuit design, sharpen analytical problem-solving skills, and gain exposure to industry-leading design flows that support Intel’s technology leadership.

The primary responsibilities for this role will include, but are not limited to:

• Contribute to analog circuit design and analysis, including schematic development and performance evaluation.

• Perform circuit-level simulations to validate design intent across operating conditions and process corners.

• Support definition and documentation of circuit-level requirements and specifications.

• Analyze simulation results related to gain, bandwidth, noise, linearity, stability, and power.

• Prepare clear and concise technical documentation and reports summarizing design approaches, simulation results, and insights.

• Utilize AI-assisted tools for scripting and workflow support (e.g., simulation setup, result parsing, documentation support).

Qualifications:

Minimum Qualifications:

Minimum qualifications are required to be initially considered for this position.

• Currently pursuing a Master’s or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field.
• Minimum of one year completed in the graduate program.
• Coursework or research experience emphasizing analog or mixed-signal circuit design (coursework substantially completed is preferred).
• Solid understanding of CMOS analog circuit design fundamentals, such as amplifiers, biasing, feedback, and stability.
• Foundational knowledge of linear systems and signal analysis as applied to analog circuits.
• Experience with analog circuit simulation tools (e.g., SPICE-based simulators), gained through graduate coursework, academic projects, or research.
• Minimum experience using AI-based tools for scripting or productivity support in an engineering or academic context.
• Intermediate English language proficiency.

Preferred Qualifications:

Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates.

• Strong graduate-level background in analog and mixed-signal circuit design.
• Hands-on experience with EDA tools such as Cadence® Virtuoso® / Spectre or equivalent.
• Experience applying analog design concepts to course projects, tape-out projects, or research prototypes.
• Advanced or Native English language proficiency.
