The role: Analog IC Design Intern

As an Analog IC Design Intern, you will assist in the circuit design, and performance verification of high-speed analog front-ends. This role focuses on the physical layer (PHY) components that enable low-power, high-bandwidth communication between chips in a multi-die package.

Key Responsibilities

- Circuit Design & Schematic Entry: Assist in designing critical analog blocks for D2D links, such as high-speed drivers, receivers, clock distribution networks, and voltage regulators.

- Simulation & Analysis: Perform detailed transient, noise, and Monte Carlo simulations using industry-standard tools like Cadence Virtuoso and SPICE.

- Performance Verification: Validate key performance metrics including Signal Integrity (SI), power consumption, and jitter to ensure compliance with standards like UCIe or proprietary chiplet protocols.

- Behavioral Modeling: Develop high-level behavioral models (e.g., in Verilog-A or MATLAB) to speed up top-level system simulations.

- Layout Support: Work with layout engineers to oversee critical physical design aspects, ensuring proper shielding and matching to minimize parasitic effects.

- Documentation & Review: Document design methodologies and presen...
