We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Co-Op student to support our Acoustic Engineering department. You will participate in key activities in the technology development of piezoelectric bulk acoustic resonators (BAW) including device modeling, characterization and EDA support. It is a cross-functional role in a collaborative engineering team and you will have the opportunity to work with modeling, process, testing and layout engineers.

Desired location: Irvine, California

Responsibilities

• Construct FEM and circuit models in collaboration with other device modeling and circuit design engineers
• Analyze on-wafer device statistics of key device parameters
• Propose new ways to design the state-of-the-art BAW devices based on physics-based models and data-driven models

Required Experience and Skills

• Current student pursuing a PhD in engineering
• Must have the availability to work full-time (40 hours per week) during Co-Op term (January - May/June 2026)
• Proficiency with FEM tools, such as COMSOL
• Experience with scientific programming using MATLAB and/or Python
• Ability to process, cleanse and validate the integrity of data to be used for further analysis and experiments
• Familiarity with statistics, machine learning techniques and algorithms, and optimization
• Basic knowledge of solid mechanics or acoustic wave in solids. Knowledge in BAW resonators or RFMEMS resonators will be a plus
