Design Verification Engineering Intern
Analog DevicesJob Title
Design Verification Engineering Intern
Role Summary
Hands-on internship on the CSS Design Verification (DV) team to validate digital IP and subsystem designs for high-performance semiconductor products. Work alongside design and verification engineers to develop and run verification environments and improve verification coverage.
Typical activities include testbench development, simulation, debugging, coverage reporting, and supporting automation for regression flows.
Experience Level
Entry-level internship suitable for students or early-career engineers (0–3 years). Ideal for those pursuing a degree or recently graduated and exploring ASIC/SoC verification.
Responsibilities
Contribute to verification planning, testbench development, simulation, and coverage activities under engineer guidance.
- Assist in developing and executing verification plans for digital IP blocks and subsystems.
- Develop, enhance, and maintain testbench components using SystemVerilog, UVM, or similar methodologies.
- Run simulations, analyze results, identify failures, and support debugging.
- Create directed and constrained-random tests to validate functionality and corner cases.
- Perform and report functional, code, and assertion coverage; track coverage completeness.
- Collaborate with design and architecture teams to clarify specifications and coverage goals.
- Support automation flows and continuous regression infrastructure with scripting.
- Document verification environments, methodologies, and results.
Requirements
Core skills and practical knowledge required for the role.
- Strong understanding of digital logic design and computer architecture.
- Practical experience with Verilog/SystemVerilog or VHDL; familiarity with RTL design principles and simulation workflows.
- Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python, Perl, Tcl, or Bash.
- Good analytical and debugging skills; ability to run simulations and interpret results.
- Clear communication and a willingness to learn in a fast-paced engineering environment.
Nice-to-have:
- Experience with UVM-based verification.
- Familiarity with EDA tools (for example, Xcelium).
- Knowledge of SoC design concepts, bus protocols (AXI, AHB, APB), SVA assertions, and coverage-driven verification.
Education Requirements
Pursuing a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline; or equivalent practical experience.
