Design Verification Engineering Intern - Bachelors
Texas InstrumentsJob Title
Design Verification Engineering Intern (Bachelor's)
Role Summary
This internship supports pre-silicon verification of mixed-signal integrated circuits. The intern will work with design and system teams to create verification plans, implement testbenches and simulations, run coverage regressions, and report verification status.
Experience Level
Entry-level internship. Suitable for current undergraduate students; no professional experience required.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include:
- Develop detailed verification plans with design and system teams.
- Implement testbenches, tests, and simulations to validate DUT behavior.
- Run coverage regressions to meet defined goals for SystemVerilog functional coverage of mixed-signal circuits (voltages, currents, real numbers, integers, and digital coverage).
- Verify RTL and gate-level (Gates+SDF) timing between analog and digital circuits.
- Create constrained-random stimulus and auto-checking verification environments, including constrained-random analog stimulus.
- Use regression tools and develop scripts to submit and manage regression jobs.
- Track and communicate verification status, issues, and risks to stakeholders.
- Contribute to continuous improvements in DV strategy, tools, methods, and flows.
Requirements
Must-have and preferred qualifications (education summarized separately below):
- Must-have: basic understanding of digital and analog circuit behavior and verification concepts; familiarity with simulation and verification workflows; effective communication and teamwork skills.
- Must-have: ability to learn verification tools and scripting for regression automation; strong time-management and initiative.
- Preferred: experience or coursework with SystemVerilog, functional coverage, constrained-random verification, RTL/Gates+SDF, or scripting languages used for regression automation.
- Preferred: strong interpersonal, analytical, and problem-solving abilities.
Education Requirements
Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Electrical & Computer Engineering; cumulative GPA 3.0/4.0 or higher. (The job's generic job-info field also lists "High School Graduate".)
