About the role
This 100% onsite internship focuses on developing and executing bench validation plans and conducting silicon validation. The role covers new silicon products including DDR, MCR, memory controllers, and other integrated circuits.
What you'll do
- Assist in the development and execution of bench validation plans and conduct validations for DDR, MCR, memory controllers, or other integrated circuits.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Design, Test, and Marketing to understand product requirements and develop validation strategies.
- Utilize lab equipment including oscilloscopes, BERT, and AWG to perform electrical characterization and performance benchmarking.
- Document test procedures, results, and findings in engineering reports and contribute to validation methodologies.
- Assist in debugging and troubleshooting silicon issues alongside design and test engineers.
- Contribute to the development and enhancement of automated test frameworks and validation scripts using Python, C/C++, or scripting languages.
What you'll need
- Currently enrolled full time in a university degree program pursuing a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- Understanding of digital and analog circuits, semiconductor devices, and computer architecture principles.
- Familiarity with lab equipment and measurement techniques for silicon validation, including oscilloscopes, power supplies, BERT, and AWGs.
- Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, C/C++, or scripting languages for test automation and data analysis.
- Hands-on experience with Python test automation of equipment such as programmable power supplies, multimeters, and oscilloscopes.
Nice to have
- Graduating December 2027.
