Design Verification Graduate Intern 2027
Role Summary
Entry-level internship on Intel's Data Center Group (DCG) verification team focused on functional verification of silicon designs. The intern will help develop verification plans, create test benches and environments, run emulation/simulation, and support debug and root-cause analysis.
Experience Level
Entry-level / Graduate intern. Typically 0–1 years of hands-on verification experience gained through internships, academic projects, or coursework.
Responsibilities
Work with verification, architecture, and design engineers to validate silicon designs and uncover implementation issues.
- Develop and execute verification plans and test benches to achieve architecture coverage goals.
- Build and maintain verification environments and test infrastructure.
- Run and analyze emulation and simulation to validate functionality, performance, and power metrics.
- Perform root-cause analysis and debug design issues using standard tooling.
- Collaborate with architecture and design teams to verify correctness and performance optimizations.
- Document results and propose corrective or improvement actions.
- Learn and apply industry best practices in functional silicon verification.
Requirements
Minimum technical skills and experience expected for successful candidates. (Degrees and academic items are summarized separately below.)
- Understanding of logic design, computer architecture, and verification methodologies.
- Familiarity with industry-standard simulation, emulation, or debugging tools and flows.
- Proficiency in hardware description languages such as Verilog or VHDL.
- Experience with scripting or programming languages (Python, C/C++).
- Basic experience with simulation/emulation runs, testbench creation, and debug workflows (can be from coursework or internships).
- Ability to work collaboratively in a team and communicate technical findings clearly.
- Nice-to-have: knowledge of DRAM memory technology.
Education Requirements
Must be actively pursuing a Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related technical field. Typical background includes coursework or project experience in verification, logic design, and computer architecture. Preferred: GPA of 3.0 or higher. (Academic project or internship experience counts toward practical exposure.)
