Description

RF Front-end EM Design Co-Op

Location: Irvine, CA Term: January - June 2027 (Full-Time Co-Op)

About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated RF Front-End EM Design Co-Op to join our team in Irvine, California. In this role, you will work alongside experienced RF, EM, RFIC, and module design engineers on the development of next-generation wireless solutions for 5G/6G, and emerging connectivity technologies.

This position is ideal for graduate students interested in RF design, electromagnetics, filter design, RFIC and module co-design, and advanced packaging technologies. You will contribute to technology research, simulation, and prototype development activities that support future commercial RF front-end products. Working with a dedicated technical mentor, you will gain hands-on experience across the full product development cycle, from electromagnetic modeling and circuit simulation to hardware characterization and measured data correlation.

Responsibilities

Working closely with your mentor and the broader engineering team, you will: RF Design & Technology Research
