Cirrus Logic's Mixed-Signal Validation Engineering team is seeking highly motivated interns to support the validation efforts of industry-leading mixed-signal products. This internship offers a hands-on opportunity to work on high-performance mixed-signal analog converters, Class D digital power amplifiers, and digital interface products, supporting both pre-silicon verification and post-silicon validation efforts.
Validation roles at Cirrus Logic span a wide range of disciplines-from bench-level characterization to automated production testing, and from pre-silicon modeling to post-silicon debug. Interns gain exposure to the full lifecycle of product development and validation, working with cutting-edge audio and data acquisition technologies in a collaborative, innovation-driven environment.
As an intern, you'll collaborate with cross-functional teams-including design, applications, and manufacturing test engineers-to ensure our products meet the highest standards of performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
We recruit interns year-round for Spring, Summer, and Fall 2027 opportunities. Each internship lasts 12-16 weeks and follows a full-time schedule.
This role does not offer visa sponsorship.
