Analog Layout Intern
As an Analog Layout Intern on the AMS team, you will support the layout implementation of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits, learning how a circuit designer's schematic becomes a physical layout that meets performance, area, and reliability requirements. Projects vary with the product cycle and your own interests, and you will be exposed to a range of IC design skills and tools. Your responsibilities will include:
- Learn the analog design and layout flow, and how analog layout differs from digital physical design.
- Create layouts for basic analog cells (for example comparators and OTAs) in advanced nodes, following analog requirements such as device matching, symmetry, shielding, and layout-dependent effects.
- Assist with floorplanning, placement, and routing of analog and mixed-signal blocks under the guidance of experienced engineers.
- Run physical verification (DRC, LVS, antenna) and help resolve issues, with support from your mentor.
- Learn about parasitic awareness and EM/IR considerations, and work with circuit designers to optimize the layout.
- Use industry-standard tools such as Cadence Virtuoso and Calibre, in a Linux environment.
- Meet regularly with your paired circuit designer and layout team, share progress, and document your work.
What We're Looking For
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Electronics, Electrical, or Telecommunications Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, or a related field (expected to graduate in 2027)
- Basic understanding of semiconductor devices, CMOS technology, and electronic circuits.
- Strong passion to learn and grow expertise in analog layout.
- Good analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail.
- Self-motivated, willing to learn new technologies, and able to work effectively in a team.
- Good English communication skills.
Nice to Have
- Coursework or projects in analog circuits, VLSI, or IC design.
- Familiarity with Cadence Virtuoso, Calibre DRC/LVS, or similar layout and verification tools.
- Basic knowledge of Linux and scripting (Python, Tcl, or SKILL).
