Job Description :

Description

As a Semiconductor/RF Module Design Co-Op working in Irvine CA, you will work closely with experienced engineers on advanced RF module technologies. This position is intended for highly motivated graduate students interested in RF design, electromagnetics, filter/RFIC/module co-design. You will contribute to technology research, prototype development, simulation, and validation activities supporting future Skyworks products. You will be paired with a technical mentor and work alongside RFIC, module, and systems engineers in a collaborative R&D environment.

Responsibilities

You will work with a mentor and have the following responsibilities: 1. Research and evaluate advanced RF front-end architectures involving filter and RFIC co-design. 2. Develop and analyze RF matching networks, filter structures, and module integration concepts. 3. Create 3D electromagnetic models using HFSS and perform RF simulations using ADS. 4. Support prototype design, fabrication, and evaluation of RF module concepts. 5. Investigate RF interactions between integrated circuits, package structures, and passive components. 6. Characterize prototype hardware and evaluate key RF performance metrics such as insertion loss, rejection, linearity, noise figure, PAE, etc. 7. Correlate simulation and measurement results and recommend design improvements. 8. Create technical reports, summarize research findings, and present results to the design team. 9. Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to explore and develop next-generation RF technologies.

Required Experience and Skills

• Currently pursuing an M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a related field, with emphasis in RF/Microwave Engineering, Electromagnetics, Wireless Communications Analog/RF IC Design, or related disciplines. • Available to work onsite in Irvine, CA January - June 2027.Strong understanding of: • RF and microwave circuit design • Electromagnetic theory • Analog and RF integrated circuits • S-parameters and impedance matching • RF front-end architectures • Experience with RF simulation tools such as ADS, HFSS, Cadence, or equivalent. • Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and presentation skills. • Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

Desired Experience and Skills

• Research experience involving RF front-end systems, RF filters, RFICs, or electromagnetic modeling. • Familiarity with filter synthesis, passive component design, or RFIC/module integration. • Experience with RF laboratory instrumentation, including Vector Network Analyzers (VNA), Spectrum Analyzers, Signal Generators, and Power Meters. • Experience with Python, MATLAB, or other automation and data analysis tools. • Familiarity with PCB/package layout tools such as Cadence Allegro.

What You'll Gain

• Hands-on experience developing advanced RF technologies and prototype solutions. • Exposure to RF filter, module, package, and IC co-design methodologies used in commercial wireless products. • Mentorship from experienced RF and semiconductor design engineers. • Opportunities to collaborate across RFIC, module, systems, and product development teams. • Experience translating cutting-edge research concepts into practical product solutions.
