Shift:

The regular hours for this position are day shift.

Job Description:

We are seeking a highly motivated Electrical Design Automation – AI & EDA Automation Intern to help develop next-generation AI-assisted design automation workflows for Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) engineering.

This internship will focus on applying Large Language Models (LLMs) and Python software development to automate industry-leading Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools, including Ansys HFSS and Keysight ADS. The goal is to create intelligent workflows that transform engineering design specifications and requirements into structured, reusable Python libraries that can automatically generate simulation setups, execute analyses, and produce engineering results.

This project sits at the intersection of electrical engineering, artificial intelligence, software development, and design automation and offers an opportunity to influence the future of engineering productivity and simulation workflows.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop Python frameworks for automating SI/PI simulation workflows.
  • Create structured data models that capture electrical design requirements, constraints, and specifications.
  • Investigate and implement LLM-based approaches for translating natural language engineering requirements into machine-readable design objects.
  • Interface Python automation with industry-standard EDA tools including:Ansys HFSS Keysight ADS Data analysis and post-processing tools
  • Build reusable libraries to support:Simulation setup generation Parameterized model creation Design rule validation Results extraction and reporting
  • Develop proof-of-concept workflows demonstrating end-to-end automation from specification through simulation execution.
  • Collaborate with Signal Integrity and Power Integrity engineers to understand engineering workflows and identify automation opportunities.
  • Document software architecture, APIs, and engineering use cases.

Desired Project Outcomes

By the end of the internship, the student will deliver:

  • A prototype framework that converts engineering specifications into structured Python objects.
  • Demonstration of LLM-assisted specification parsing.
  • Automated generation of HFSS and/or ADS simulation projects.
  • Workflow examples for SI and PI analysis.
  • Documentation and recommendations for future AI-enabled engineering workflows.

Required Qualifications:

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. degree in:Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering Computer Science Applied Physics Related technical field
  • Strong programming experience in Python.
  • Basic understanding of software engineering practices.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Effective verbal and written communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently while collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Coursework or experience in:Signal Integrity Power Integrity Electromagnetics High-speed digital design RF engineering
  • Experience with one or more EDA tools:Ansys HFSS Keysight ADS Cadence or Synopsys design tools Data science and machine learning frameworks
  • Familiarity and interest with:Object-oriented programming Git version control Large Language Models (LLMs) Prompt engineering Agentic AI workflows
  • Experience building engineering automation tools is a plus.

What the Intern Will Learn:

  • Practical application of AI and LLMs in engineering workflows.
  • Automation of commercial EDA tools through Python APIs.
  • SI/PI simulation methodologies used in advanced semiconductor test and measurement applications.
  • Practical implementation of AI-assisted engineering workflows.
  • Design and development of scalable engineering automation systems.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
