About this role
Company Overview
Ambiq is on a mission to enable intelligence everywhere - powering the AI edge revolution with the world's lowest-power semiconductor solutions.
Built on our proprietary sub- and near-threshold technology, our chips deliver multi-fold improvements in energy efficiency without costly process scaling. Since 2010, we've shipped over 300 million units to customers building smarter wearables, medical devices, IoT products, and AI-powered edge applications.
Our cross-functional teams span design, research, development, production, marketing, sales, and operations across Austin, Hsinchu, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Singapore. We move fast, tackle hard problems, and create space for people to grow through complex, meaningful work that shapes the future of technology.
We're looking for self-motivated, creative problem-solvers who are eager to push technological limits and make a real impact in energy efficiency.
At Ambiq, we live by five values: Innovate. Collaborate. Focus. Learn. Achieve.
If that's you, join us - the intelligence everywhere revolution starts here.
AI-Assisted Foundation IP Development Intern
About the Role
Part of Foundation IP team on standard cell and memory compiler IP for edge AI SoCs - including using data analysis and ML to spot trends in characterization data and flag outliers early.
Responsibilities
- Support circuit design, spice/Monte Carlo simulation and layout of standard cells
- Perform layout tasks (placement, routing, DRC/LVS cleanup) for foundation IP
- Characterize standard cells (timing, power, noise) across PVT corners
- Run characterization flows using tools like Liberate
- Analyze characterization data using Python (pandas, scikit-learn) to find trends and outliers
- Build simple predictive models to flag likely failures and reduce simulation runs
- Help debug mismatches between simulated and characterized results
- Document findings and share with the IP team
Qualifications
- Pursuing a BS in EE, CE, Microelectronics, or related field (rising Junior/Senior)
- Coursework in digital logic, Analog, AI/ML, data Science, VLSI, or semiconductor devices
- Basic understanding of circuit design and IC layout (DRC/LVS) concepts
- Working knowledge of Python and basic ML concepts (regression, clustering)
- Comfort working with large datasets
Nice to Have
- Exposure to layout/schematic tools (Virtuoso, Calibre) or characterization tools (Liberate, Tempus)
- A class project applying ML to engineering or scientific data
- Interest in low-power IP for edge AI/IoT

About Ambiq
Ambiq® was founded in 2010 on the simple yet powerful notion that extremely low-power semiconductors are the key to the future of electronics. Through the use of pioneering ultra-low power technology, innovative companies around the world are developing differentiated solutions that reduce or eliminate the need for batteries, reduce overall system power and maximize industrial design flexibility. Our mission is to enable intelligence (artificial intelligence (AI) and beyond) everywhere by delivering the lowest power semiconductor solutions. We enable our customers to deliver artificial intelligence compute at the edge where power consumption challenges are the most profound. Our technology innovations, built on the patented and proprietary subthreshold power optimized technology (SPOT), fundamentally deliver a multi-fold improvement in power consumption over traditional semiconductor designs. We’ve powered over 270 million devices today. As we see the shift in devices move from “smart” to “AI,” our technology and solutions have evolved to accommodate the power requirements needed to enable feature rich devices that are always on, high performing, secure, accurate, energy efficient, and just as important practical. Our leadership in powering devices made for edge AI has helped technology innovators across wearable, smart home and buildings, industrial, healthcare, and other sectors deliver intelligent devices that can do more while consuming less.
