Description

Please Note: To provide the best candidate experience amidst our high application volumes, each candidate is limited to 10 applications across all open jobs within a 6-month period. Advancing the World’s Technology Together Our technology solutions power the tools you use every day--including smartphones, electric vehicles, hyperscale data centers, IoT devices, and so much more. Here, you’ll have an opportunity to be part of a global leader whose innovative designs are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and powering the future. We believe innovation and growth are driven by an inclusive culture and a diverse workforce. We’re dedicated to empowering people to be their true selves. Together, we’re building a better tomorrow for our employees, customers, partners, and communities. What You’ll Do We are seeking a motivated intern to contribute to the design and optimization of a Low Dropout Regulator (LDO) with emphasis on low power consumption and fast transient response. The project will explore advanced topologies such as the Flipped Voltage Follower (FVF) or Super Source Follower (SSF) to achieve superior performance in terms of quiescent current, load transient recovery, and stability under varying conditions. This internship offers hands-on experience in analog circuit design, simulation, and potentially layout, within a collaborative environment. You'll work closely with senior engineers to iterate on designs and validate concepts through simulations. Location: Daily onsite presence at our San Jose office in alignment with our Flexible Work policy What You’ll Learn Project Overview: Develop DRAM Buffer chip to extend inherent speed limitation on high Cio (IO capacitance) due to multiple ranks (high memory density). To support high speed operation, delay variations for data path and strobe path due to power supply fluctuation should be minimized so well-defined internal voltage regulator with fast response for dynamic load changes. For this internship, we are looking forward to find intern with understanding conventional and state of art linear regulator design experience. Skills You’ll Learn: You will use most advanced CMOS process technology like FINFET You will learn how to apply your LDO circuit to actual system with variable current profiles You will learn how to use most advanced CAD tools to design and simulate the circuits and how to do layout You will learn how to consider electromigration before starting the layout based on Electrically Aware Design Methodology Complete other responsibilities as assigned. What You Bring Currently pursuing a Ph.D’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related field (focus on analog IC design preferred). Basic understanding of analog circuits, including voltage regulators, amplifiers, and feedback systems. Familiarity with CMOS processes and tools like MATLAB/Simulink, or Cadence suite. Knowledge of LDO design principles; exposure to FVF or SSF topologies is a plus. Strong analytical skills and enthusiasm for low-power electronics. Ability to work independently and in a team, with good communication skills. Experience with transistor-level design or mixed-signal verification. (Preferred) Prior coursework or projects in VLSI design, power electronics, or semiconductor physics. (Preferred) Familiarity with energy-harvesting, IoT, wearable or implantable power-management requirements. (Preferred) Background in modeling device parasitics and layout-dependent effects for high-speed transient response. (Preferred) What We Offer The pay range below is for all roles at this level across all US locations and functions. Individual pay rates depend on a number of factors—including the role’s function and location, as well as the individual’s knowledge, skills, experience, education, and training. This is in addition to our diverse package of benefits centered around the wellbeing of our employees and their loved ones. In addition to the usual Medical/Dental/Vision, our inclusive rewards plan empowers our people to care for their whole selves. An investment in your future is an investment in ours. Relocation Support Live 50+ miles away from your new office? No worries! We'll provide a stipend to help support your move. Housing Stipend Signing a lease on a new place for your summer internship? We'll help you pay your way with a monthly stipend. Give Back With a charitable giving match and frequent opportunities to get involved, we take an active role in supporting the community. Prioritize Emotional Wellness With on-demand apps and paid therapy sessions, you’ll have support no matter where you are. Stay Fit Eating well and being active are important parts of a healthy life. Our onsite Café and gym, plus virtual classes, make it easier. Embrace Flexibility Benefits are best when you have the space to use them. That’s why we facilitate a flexible environment so you can find the right balance for you. Hourly Base Pay Rate $28—$62 USD Equal Opportunity Employment Policy Samsung Semiconductor takes pride in being an equal opportunity workplace dedicated to fostering an environment where all individuals feel valued and empowered to excel, regardless of race, religion, color, age, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, ancestry, genetic information, marital status, national origin, political affiliation, or veteran status.
