Qorvo’s

Silicon Design Engineering Internships are offered in our Advanced Cellular Engineering business group. Specific projects and responsibilities will be determined based on the business needs at the time of the internship assignment.
Responsibilities May Include

Contribute to design of multiple functional blocks including Power amplifier, LNA, switch, power management ICs, or acoustic filters
Contribute to design of tunable, adjustable and adaptive RF front-ends that can be driven by standard LUT digital control, or by AI inference models
Contribute to design of various detectors for the RF signal path (power detectors, temperature detectors, VSWR detectors, modulation detectors) that can optimize the performance of the mobile front-ends
Contribute to design of linearization circuits and protection feedback loops integrated in mixed-signal RF-analog-digital SOCs for mobile front-end applications
Contribute to design of dynamic digital control for cellular front-end-modules, using ROM / pROM memory and microcontroller cores, that can adapt to different operating modes
Contribute to design automation methodology using advanced EDA tools for layout parasitics extraction, laminate and PCB board EM simulations, to create a more accurate models for complex multi-die modules
Contribute to electro-thermal simulation of high-power multi-die modules for cellular applications
Contribute to device modeling of special breakdown and failure effects that are not included in the factory models
Contribute to system level simulations in MATLAB and HDL languages of complex multi-mode front-end-modules
Meet performance requirements while also considering size, cost, footprint, and schedule
Produce designs with increasing complexity from customer demands for LTE, carrier aggregation, multiple antennas, filters, and power management
Adapt to new customer requirements for ruggedness, ESD, and quality
Work as a member of a team to contribute design schematics, simulations, and real lab data
Work with signal generators, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, and power meters to compare simulated data to real lab data

Qualifications

BS, MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering
Student must have completed some analog/RF circuit design course work
Exposure to RF measurement equipment such as, spectrum analyzers and network analyzers preferred
Software Exposure: ADS, AWR, FEM, HFSS, Momentum, Cadence, Dynamic Link
