MaxLinear is seeking a current Bachelors or Masters’ degree student for a Communications Systems Internship in our Valencia design center.
The internship will be focus on the application of techniques used in Machine Learning algorithms to the linearization of power amplifiers. This linearization is done by means of predistorting the signal in the digital domain (DPD) by means of DSP (digital signal processing). Linearization is the most common and spread solution to cope with the power amplifier limitations. The use of new radio spectrally efficient signals in 5G reinforce the need to apply DPD to increase the power amplifiers efficiency.
The intern will be mentored by one of the members of the Communication Systems team in the Valencia site and will join design reviews and technical discussions to have a first-hand view of how a high tech company works.

COMPANY OVERVIEW
MaxLinear is a global, New York Stock Exchange-traded company (NYSE: MXL) where the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well. We are a fabless system-on-chip product company, designing highly integrated, radio-frequency, and mixed-signal Communications ICs for broadband and infrastructure applications.
We hire the best people in the world and engage them in some of the most exciting opportunities in our broadband and infrastructure markets. Our growth has come from innovative, bold approaches to solving some of the world’s most challenging communication technology problems.
MaxLinear began by developing the World’s first high-performance TV tuner chip using standard CMOS process technology. Others said we couldn’t achieve the extremely high performance requirements using CMOS, but we proved them wrong and achieved enduring global market leadership with our designs. Since then, we’ve developed a full line of products for satellite communications, cable modems, and terrestrial TV; diversified into high speed products addressing Datacom applications such as 400 Gbps fiber-optic interconnect chips for high-speed networks; and MoCA technology for home networking.
Our headquarters is in Carlsbad, near San Diego, California. We also have major design centers in Irvine and San Jose, CA; in Vancouver, Canada; in Valencia, Spain; and in Bangalore, India.
We have approximately 800 employees, a substantial majority of whom have engineering degrees, and include masters and Ph.D. graduates from many of the premiere universities around the world. Our engineers thrive on innovation, outstanding execution, outside-the-box thinking, nimbleness, and collaboration. Together, we form a high-energy business team that is focused on building great products.
