TL;DR · RF Engineering Intern

The 2027 RF Engineering Intern joins the Etch Product Group C&F team to develop technology for the next generation of semiconductor processing. Working with RF engineers and Plasma Physicists, the intern contributes to the Conductor and Dielectric Etch technology portfolio to enable angstrom-level semiconductor processing. Daily responsibilities include developing moderately complex RF systems and sub-systems, applying mathematical engineering methods to designs, and contributing to data research. The intern will develop functional specifications for RF generators, matching networks, and filters while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to modify custom components. Required skills include electromagnetic theory, RF network theory, Smith Chart application, and S-parameter analysis. Candidates should be familiar with VNA, Power Meters, and Spectrum Analyzers, as well as network modeling tools like SPICE and simulation software like HFSS or Comsol.

What you'll do

  • Participate in the development of moderately complex RF systems and sub-systems.
  • Apply mathematical and engineering methods to RF system designs.
  • Contribute to research efforts involving data collection and analysis.
  • Develop functional specifications for RF generators, matching networks, and filters.
  • Design and modify custom and OEM system components with a multidisciplinary team.
  • Troubleshoot systems using tools such as oscilloscopes, voltage probes, and current probes.
  • Perform RF network characterization using S-parameter analysis and measurement equipment.

What we're looking for

  • BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, RF Engineering/Plasma, or similar fields.
  • Very good oral, written, and presentation skills in English.
  • Solid understanding of electromagnetic theory, RF network theory, and distributed network theory.
  • Familiarity with Smith Chart theory and RF network characterization techniques such as S-parameter analysis.
  • Familiarity with RF measurement equipment including Power Meters, VNA, Impedance Analyzers, and Spectrum Analyzers.
  • Experience with network modeling tools such as SPICE.
  • Good understanding and adherence to lab safety standards.
  • Experience with MatLab, Python, HFSS, Comsol, or soldering (preferred).
