Internship Analog Design Engineer Jobs in Toronto, ON

Our Team:

Semtech's Signal Integrity Products group designs analog and mixed-signal Integrated Circuits used in high performance optical and electrical networks. Our high-speed chips enable systems such as: hyperscale data centres, 5G wireless, fibre-to-the-home networks and ultra-fast connectivity within AI networks.

Whenever you are using the internet, from your phone or computer, your data is likely passing through one or more of the many high-speed analog mixed-signal chips created by IC Design teams at Semtech. Our experience and expertise ensure that we are always pushing the boundaries of networking speed and providing the best experience for our end users.

Job Summary:

As an Associate Analog IC Design Engineer, you will design, verify, and evaluate high-speed (200Gbps and beyond) analog circuits utilizing leading-edge CMOS and BiCMOS technologies. You will be using advanced EDA/simulation tools and will have the opportunity to contribute to improving design best-practices and methodologies.

The successful candidate will be mentored by senior engineers, enabling them to grow technically and professionally. Additional professional development opportunities include a mix of virtual learning, in-person courses, and technical conferences.

Responsibilities:

• Design and simulation of high-speed analog mixed-signal IC products from concept to manufacturing
• Work proactively with the extended team to implement new designs to specification and support existing products
• Capture and share simulation results, measurements and methodologies
• Preparation of technical reviews and product documentation
• Involvement in the lab evaluation of high-speed analog circuits
• Plan and report progress of work

Qualifications:

• Minimum BASc degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering with significant IC design content (relevant work experience in the field preferred).
• Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
• Design experience in high-speed CMOS and/or BiCMOS, appreciation of high-speed/RF design and layout concepts, device models, parasitics and other non-idealities affecting circuit performance.
• Good understanding of analog circuit layout best practices (i.e. matching, parasitic effects, reliability, electromigration, etc.).
• Thorough understanding of analog circuit theory, transmission lines, and device fundamentals.
• Strong verbal and written communications skills and an ability to excel in a dynamic team environment which values growth and innovation.
• Experience with analog CAD tools, such as Cadence Virtuoso or equivalent. RF modelling (i.e. HFSS, EMX, etc.), Matlab / Simulink, or system modelling software knowledge is a plus.
• Familiarity of high-speed components such as VCOs, PLLs, wide-band amplifiers and data converters is a strong asset.
• Hands-on experience with high-speed lab equipment such as spectrum analyzers, network analyzers and oscilloscopes coupled with knowledge of scripting languages such as Python are considered assets.
