For over four decades, Cirrus Logic has been propelled by the top engineers in mixed-signal processing. Our rockstar team thrives on solving complex challenges with innovative end-user solutions for the world's top consumer brands. Cirrus Logic is also known for its award-winning culture, which was built on a foundation of inclusion and fairness, meaningful community engagement, and delivering enjoyable employee experiences at every turn. But we couldn't do it without our extraordinary workforce - and that's where you come in. Join our team and help us continue to make Cirrus Logic an exceptional place to grow your career! We're looking for a creative, technically strong intern to join our Software Tools team in Austin, Texas for Summer 2026. In this role, you'll help design and develop MATLAB and Python-based tools that support integration and characterization of Cirrus Logic's haptic driver and actuator systems. These tools are used by engineers across Cirrus Logic and our customers to analyze, tune, and optimize haptic performance. This internship offers a blend of signal processing, control systems, and software development - ideal for someone who enjoys turning engineering theory into practical, user-friendly software solutions. What You'll Do Develop and refine MATLAB and Python tools for data acquisition, signal analysis, and system optimization. Implement closed-loop control and signal characterization algorithms for haptic driver systems. Design routines to optimize input waveforms for best output matching to target responses. Validate and test tools on real hardware in collaboration with haptics, hardware, and firmware engineering teams. Contribute to the internal software ecosystem that enables efficient development and integration of Cirrus Logic haptic solutions. What We're Looking For Currently pursuing a Master's or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or Computer Science, or an advanced undergraduate with equivalent experience. Exposure to control systems and signal processing concepts. Proficiency in both MATLAB and Python for analysis and software development. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Enthusiasm for working with real systems and turning data into actionable insights. Cirrus Logic follows a 2+ day in-office work schedule but interns should expect to be in the office more often, up to 5 days per week, based on business needs and team preference. Interns must be based within commutable distance of the work location listed on the job posting, or willing to relocate prior to beginning their internship with Cirrus Logic. Export control restrictions based upon applicable laws and regulations would prohibit candidates who are nationals of certain embargoed countries from working in this position without Cirrus Logic first obtaining an export license. Candidates for this role must be able to access technical data without a requirement for an export license. We are unable to sponsor or obtain export licenses for this role. Cirrus Logic strives to select the best qualified applicant for any opening. Different approaches, ideas and points of view are both valued and respected.
