In Macom’s MMIC Business Unit, we design MMICs for cellular, aerospace and defense, and other wireless applications. We are looking for a design engineering intern with proven RF and AI knowledge and experience. You will:

•Be challenged

•Deliver work products that improve cycle time efficiency

•Work with our AI project team

•Work with a world class GaN MMIC design team

•Be responsible for a project or projects related to supporting design of, or aspect(s) of the design flow of, a GaN MMIC Power Amplifier using AI or developing AI agent(s) that improve cycle time and efficiency of various design flow aspects employed by the MMIC design team. Specific project will be dependent on candidate’s experience level and current state of AI-driven design developments within MACOM and tailored with a focus towards something achievable that delivers business results at the culmination of the program.

Job Requirements

•Besides your technical skill set, it is very important to us that you bring the right attitude. You are highly motivated and result oriented.
