• Edinburgh
• Entry level
• Internship

Join a Consumer Audio design team in Edinburgh to work on real mixed-signal IC development, from circuit architecture research and feasibility studies to transistor-level design, simulation and verification of analog blocks. You will build testbenches, analyse trade-offs around noise, distortion and power, and collaborate with layout engineers through physical implementation and design reviews.
