Description

Company Overview Ambiq's mission is to enable intelligence everywhere by delivering the lowest power semiconductor solutions. Ambiq is a pioneer and a leading provider of ultra-low-power semiconductor solutions based on our proprietary and patented sub- and near-threshold technologies. With the increasing power requirements of artificial intelligence (AI) computing, our customers are relying on our solutions to deliver AI to edge environments. Our hardware and software innovations fundamentally deliver a multi-fold improvement in power consumption over traditional semiconductor designs without expensive process geometry scaling. We began in 2010 by addressing the power consumption challenges of battery-powered devices at the edge, where they were most pronounced. As of the beginning of 2025, we've shipped more than 280+ million units worldwide. Our innovative and fast-moving teams of design, research, development, production, marketing, sales, and operations are spread across several continents, including the US (Austin), Taiwan (Hsinchu), China (Shanghai and Shenzhen), and Singapore. We value relentless technology innovation, a deep commitment to customer success, collaborative problem-solving, and an enthusiastic pursuit of energy efficiency. We embrace candidates who also share these same values. The successful candidate must be self-motivated, creative, and comfortable learning and driving exciting new technologies. We encourage and nurture an environment that fosters growth and opportunities to work on complex, meaningful, and challenging projects, creating a lasting impact and shaping the future of technology. Join us on our quest for enabling billions of intelligent devices. The intelligence everywhere revolution starts here. Role Overview: We are seeking a motivated Master’s student intern to join our R&D team focusing on low power and high performance digital and memory-related circuit design and simulation. The intern will contribute to the development and validation of advanced low-power circuit architectures, with a particular focus on FIP design, verification, and optimization. Key Responsibilities: Assist in the design, modeling, and simulation of digital and memory circuits (SRAM, ROM, Register Files, etc.). Develop testbenches and simulation flows for timing, power, and functional verification. Explore low-power design techniques for embedded memories and digital blocks. Collaborate with design and verification engineers to validate circuit functionality and performance. Document methodologies, results, and design trade-offs for internal use. Qualifications: Currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field. Solid understanding of analog and digital circuit design, CMOS fundamentals, and memory related circuits and architecture. Hands-on experience with FinFET Schematic and layout, SPICE, Verilog/VHDL, and simulation tools (Cadence, Synopsys, or equivalent). Familiarity with low-power circuit techniques and process variability considerations. Strong problem-solving skills and teamwork ability. Preferred Skills: Exposure to Cadence Virtuoso schematic and simulation environments. Knowledge of static timing analysis (STA) and power analysis tools. Prior project experience with memory circuits or digital IC design. What You Need We're seeking passionate technologists who thrive on pushing boundaries, solving complex challenges, and driving transformative solutions. At Ambiq, you'll collaborate with a dynamic team that values relentless innovation, customer-centric thinking, and continuous learning. If you're a self-motivated, creative problem-solver eager to push technological limits and make a meaningful impact in energy efficiency, this is your opportunity to grow, excel, and turn groundbreaking ideas into reality. Most importantly, the successful candidate will be able to live the Ambiq Shared Values: Innovate: We tenaciously find ways to break down the barriers to possible solutions Collaborate: We proactively communicate and encourage each other to be better. Focus: We keep the voice of the customer at the center of everything we do. Learn: We strive for continuous improvement and are always curious. Achieve: We execute on quality and follow through on our commitments.
