Analog Design, Intern

We are hiring an Intern for our Analog Design team at Lightmatter! We are a photonic computer company redefining what computers and human beings are capable of by building the engines that will power discoveries and drive progress in a sustainable way. With modern human progress relying heavily on computers, the world has hit a dead end with traditional transistors, and the prospect of constantly building data centers is an environmental nightmare. Lightmatter has created a solution in photonic computing: using photons instead of electrons to take advantage of their higher bandwidth. We build chips for artificial intelligence computing. Our architecture leverages the unique properties of light to enable fast and efficient inference and training engines. Responsibilities Learn the Analog Design Flow at Lightmatter Learn industry standards using Cadence Virtuoso to support Analog objectives Participate in the design of highly integrated photonics chip Run post-layout and mixed-signal top-level simulations to validate integration Be involved with 3D integration methodology development Validate performances of the circuits in the lab Qualifications ​Currently enrolled in a graduate engineering program, preferably in an ECE, EE or Computer Engineering degree Interest in Analog/Mixed-signal IC design Exposure/Understanding of CMOS device characteristics, noise, mismatch, linearity, and design trade-offs Exposure to designing analog blocks such as comparator, op-amp, reference/bias generation, switched-cap, and data converters
