Circuit Design Engineering Intern at Intel · San José

Circuit Design Engineering Intern Location: Costa Rica, San Jose Job Details: Job Description: As an Analog Circuit Design Engineering Intern, you will contribute directly to Intel’s cutting-edge analog and mixed-signal circuit development efforts. In this role, you will participate in the design, simulation, and analysis of analog and mixed-signal circuits, supporting robust circuit implementation and integration. This opportunity is designed for undergraduate students who are building strong foundations in circuit design and programming. You will gain hands-on experience applying modern coding practices and AI-assisted engineering tools to solve real-world circuit design problems. The internship offers a collaborative, hands-on environment to strengthen your technical expertise in analog design, enhance programming and analytical problem-solving skills, and gain exposure to industry-standard design methodologies that support Intel’s technology leadership. This internship has a duration of six months. Key Responsibilities Contribute to analog circuit design and analysis, including schematic development and performance evaluation. Perform circuit-level simulations to validate design intent across operating conditions and process corners. Support the definition and documentation of circuit-level requirements and specifications. Analyze simulation results related to gain, bandwidth, noise, linearity, stability, and power. Develop and apply clean, well-structured code (e.g., scripting in Python or similar languages) to automate simulations, data analysis, and workflows. Apply good programming practices such as modular design, version control, and clear documentation. Utilize AI-assisted tools for productivity and engineering tasks (e.g., simulation setup, data parsing, debugging, and documentation). Prepare clear and concise technical documentation and reports summarizing methods, results, and insights. This internship position is a full‑time role for a fixed duration of six months. While the role requires full‑time commitment, the team offers reasonable schedule flexibility to support individual needs, in coordination with the people manager. The program is intended to provide a focused, immersive industry experience aligned with Intel’s professional work environment and expectations. Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications: Minimum qualifications are required to be initially considered for this position. Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field. Basic experience with circuit design, including schematic capture and fundamental analysis through lab work or projects. Familiarity with CMOS analog circuit fundamentals, such as amplifiers, biasing, feedback, and stability. Foundational knowledge of signals and systems or related topics. Experience with programming or scripting (e.g., Python, MATLAB, or similar). Exposure to analog circuit simulation tools (e.g., SPICE-based simulators) through coursework or academic projects. Basic experience using or willingness to learn AI-based tools to enhance engineering workflows. Intermediate English language proficiency. Preferred Qualifications: Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates. Strong undergraduate coursework in analog or mixed-signal circuit design. Hands-on experience with EDA tools such as Cadence® Virtuoso® / Spectre or equivalent. Experience with course or personal projects involving circuit design and implementation. Demonstrated understanding of good coding practices (e.g., version control, testing, readable code structure). Demonstrated experience in applying AI and automation to engineering workflows. Advanced English language proficiency. Job Type: Student / Intern Shift: Shift 1 (Costa Rica) Primary Location: Costa Rica, San Jose Additional Locations: Business group: Silicon and Platform Engineering Group (SPE): Deliver breakthrough silicon and platform solutions that deliver industry-leading products today while also defining the next generation of computing experiences.
