About the Role

As a Verification Engineering Intern, you will join a collaborative verification team and contribute to the end-to-end verification of DSP-based SoC chips for high-speed connectivity products. You will build verification and debugging skills, learn about DSP, SoC, SerDes, Ethernet, and emerging technologies, and participate in the verification process from specifications and verification planning through pre-silicon verification and silicon validation.

Responsibilities

Own the end-to-end verification of DSP and SoC features, from understanding specifications and developing verification plans through test development, debug, coverage, and verification closure.
Develop SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches, tests, assertions, checkers, and coverage to verify functionality, corner cases, and error scenarios.
Develop an understanding of DSP architectures, SoC subsystems, SerDes, Ethernet, and high-speed connectivity technologies.
Verify feature interactions across DSP blocks, digital logic, interfaces, firmware, and other SoC subsystems.
Run simulations and debug complex failures using industry-standard simulation and waveform-debug tools such as Synopsys VCS and Verdi.
Use functional and code coverage to identify verification gaps and drive features toward verification closure.
Work closely with design, architecture, firmware, and validation engineers to understand requirements, debug issues, and verify features from an end-to-end system perspective.
Improve verification flows and methodologies by identifying opportunities to make test development, simulation, regressions, debug, and results analysis more efficient.
Develop scripts and automation using Python, shell, C/C++, or other languages to improve verification productivity and workflows.
Explore and apply AI/ML and AI-assisted technologies to improve verification workflows, including failure triage, log and specification analysis, test development, debug, and engineering productivity.
Support post-silicon validation and lab activities, helping correlate pre-silicon verification results with silicon behavior.

Requirements

Studying Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Engineering Science, or a related field.
Detail-oriented and able to plan tasks effectively.
Great communication and technical writing skills.
Strong desire to grow skills and gain DSP, SoC, and hardware verification knowledge.
Experience with hardware description languages such as Verilog and SystemVerilog.
Familiarity with digital logic, computer architecture, DSP concepts, and SoC design.
Familiarity with verification methodologies such as UVM, SystemVerilog Assertions, functional coverage, or constrained-random verification is a plus.
Familiarity with industry-standard simulation and debug tools such as Synopsys VCS and Verdi is a plus.
Experience with scripting or programming languages such as Python, shell, C, or C++.
Interest in using AI/ML, automation, and new technologies to improve engineering and verification workflows.
In study towards a bachelor’s degree in one of the following: Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Engineering Science, Computer Science, or related field
For 16-month internships: must be available May/June 2027 - August/September 2028
Expected graduation date of November 2028 or later.
1+ years of academic experience with programming languages such as C, C++, Python, etc
