This internship would require a solid background in VLSI circuit design & layout and scripting experience. The intern will have to learn about analog circuits and layout development, and identify automation needs. After this state-of-the-art analysis, the intern will propose a proof-of-concept solution along with its implementation. Key case studies will be used to refine the approach and optimize it. Definitions of the flows and tools to integrate the solution into the standard circuit evelopment life-cycle will be addressed. Learn about hardware layout and automation Analog circuit layout & framework (tools & flows) Define new automation and efficiency tools for custom analog layout workflow Employ the new approach to the project execution flow
