Full job description
As a Layout Design Intern, you’ll work with experienced design and circuit engineers on the physical layout and verification of high-performance mixed-signal CMOS integrated circuits. You’ll build hands-on experience translating circuit designs into layouts, learning how layout choices can affect circuit performance, and using industry tools such as Cadence Virtuoso XL and Calibre.
You’ll have opportunities to ask questions, learn from teammates, and contribute at a level that fits your experience. You don’t need to arrive knowing every tool or technique.
This role does not offer visa sponsorship.
