Semiconductor/RF Module Design Co-Op

As a Semiconductor/RF Module Design Co-Op, 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.

What You Will Do

You will work with a mentor and have the following responsibilities: research and evaluate advanced RF front-end architectures, develop and analyze RF matching networks, create 3D electromagnetic models, support prototype design, fabrication, and evaluation of RF module concepts, and characterize prototype hardware.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You will have the opportunity to work in a collaborative R&D environment, gain hands-on experience developing advanced RF technologies, and receive mentorship from experienced RF and semiconductor design engineers.

Requirements
