Internship – Analog Design

Kandou seeks an MSc intern in Advanced R&D to research analog design and signal processing for bidirectional copper serial links, focusing on power efficiency and high bandwidth.

This internship takes place within Kandou’s Advanced R&D department. The primary goal is to explore circuit and signal-processing methods that allow simultaneous two-way communication over wideband copper connections, supporting the company’s mission to optimize AI infrastructure through lower power usage and reduced latency.

Responsibilities

• Analyze current technologies for full-duplex and simultaneous bidirectional wireline systems.
• Create behavioral models for wideband copper channels and transceiver structures.
• Research techniques to cancel self-interference in analog or digital domains.
• Assess how channel imperfections, mismatches, and non-idealities affect link performance.
• Design and simulate essential components using Python or circuit-level CAD software.
• Evaluate data rates, energy efficiency, and implementation complexity.
• Deliver findings through a technical report and an oral presentation.

Requirements

• Currently enrolled as a Master’s student in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, Communications Engineering, or Computer Engineering.

Nice to have

• Experience with analog IC design and layout drawing.
• Familiarity with analog circuit simulators such as SPICE or SPECTRE.
• Strong background in signal processing.
• Excellent communication and presentation abilities.

What the company offers

• Potential for publication in conferences or journals.
