Campus ASIC Engineer (Intern)

Job Title

Campus ASIC Engineer (Intern)

Role Summary

Join the ASIC team within Core Development to design and validate next-generation ultra-low-latency hardware used in high-performance trading systems. Work covers architecture, RTL design, verification, board bring-up and performance optimization for ASIC/FPGA-based acceleration.

This is an internship for students; the team is small and cross-functional, pairing interns with experienced engineers from ASIC, FPGA, semiconductor and networking backgrounds. Internships can be scheduled outside the summer term and placements are accepted.

Experience Level

Entry-level (Internship). Intended for undergraduate or graduate students; previous hardware/low-level software internship experience is preferred but not required.

Responsibilities

Intern responsibilities include contributing to design, verification and bring-up tasks under supervision. Work will focus on low-latency systems, networking and real-time acceleration.

• Implement and verify RTL (SystemVerilog/Verilog/VHDL) components
• Develop and run tests, simulations, and validation for ASIC/FPGA designs
• Collaborate on architecture, specification and board bring-up activities
• Optimize designs for performance and latency in hardware and firmware
• Document work, debug issues, and participate in team design reviews

Requirements

Must-have and strongly recommended skills for candidates.

• Experience with ASIC, FPGA, or other hardware/systems design and development
• Hands-on RTL experience (SystemVerilog, Verilog, or VHDL)
• Experience with C, C++ or Python for testbenches, tools, or low-level software
• Previous internship or practical project experience in hardware or low-level software engineering
• Reliable and predictable availability for the internship term
• Ability to solve complex problems and integrate knowledge across technical areas

Nice-to-have (related experience):

• lowRISC or RISC-V exposure
• CocoTB or other verification frameworks
• Linux kernel/driver programming
• Static timing analysis, place-and-route tool experience
• Experience with CPU/GPU/microprocessor programming, robotics, telecommunications, or high-speed networking
• Strong grades in computer architecture, digital design, verification, or VLSI design courses

Education Requirements

Undergraduate or graduate concentration in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
