About the Internship
We are seeking enthusiastic Circuit Design Interns for the upcoming fall term, starting in September, with an ideal commitment of 4 to 8 months. You will play a vital role in the reconstruction of chip fabrication processes, engaging in impactful work that directly influences our internal design teams and future clients. Responsibilities include circuit design, standard cell layout, device characterization, and CAD flow development. You will utilize tools such as NGSpice, K-Layout, OpenROAD, along with proprietary technologies.
Our rapid development philosophy prioritizes getting projects built and tested within days or weeks, rather than months. As part of the application process, a portfolio showcasing your completed projects is required. Demonstrating experience in shipping medium to high-complexity systems through personal projects or past internships will make you an excellent candidate.
