CPU Design Verification Engineer Intern

Join our hardware team as an intern or co-op verifying the CPU core and cache hierarchy, with hands-on ownership of verification environments from test plan through coverage closure and bring-up. Get hands-on exposure to chip design and verification - perfect for EE/CompE students curious about how it all comes together.

• Work with your mentor to develop verification plans for the CPU core and cache hierarchy
• Write and debug System Verilog/UVM test benches, checkers, and stimulus for your assigned block
• Build tests, scoreboards, and reference models, and close functional and code coverage
• Triage and root-cause failures with RTL designers, with mentorship from senior engineers
• Participate in design and verification reviews and document your verification environment and results

• Working toward BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
• Recently completed coursework in digital design and verification, covering at least one of: computer microarchitecture; digital logic and RTL design; constrained-random and coverage-driven verification
• Familiarity with verifying processor designs, such as: a modern ISA; out-of-order execution and memory ordering; cache coherency and virtual memory
• Hands-on System Verilog experience, including: testbench development (UVM preferred); assertions and functional coverage
• Understanding of the end-to-end ASIC design flow and general VLSI concepts
• Scripting experience (Python, Perl, or Tcl) for regression automation; C/C++ a plus
