Design Verification Intern
Originally posted 8 October 2026 by the employer.
About the role
As a Design Verification Intern, you will help verify IP designs before tape-out, learning modern verification methodology on real silicon-bound projects.
What you'll do
- Read and understand design specifications, and help create test plans and coverage plans.
- Study existing coverage group definitions and test cases, then write new tests, including constrained-random tests, to improve coverage.
- Run simulations, understand how the block under test operates, and debug failures.
- Work toward coverage improvement and closure.
- Contribute to improvements in the DV strategy, flow, and scripts.
- Collaborate with design engineers to resolve issues, and document verification results.
What you'll need
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Electrical & Computer Engineering (expected to graduate in 2027 or 2028).
- Familiar with Verilog and SystemVerilog.
- Good English.
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills, and the ability to work well in a team.
Nice to have
- Knowledge of UVM.
- Experience with scripting languages such as Python or Perl, and a Linux working environment.
- Understanding of digital design fundamentals and mixed-signal design concepts.
Skills: Design Verification, test plans, coverage plans, Verilog and SystemVerilog, debug failures
