RTL Design Engineering Intern

Job Title

RTL Design Engineering Intern

Role Summary

Work on RTL design for infrared sensor subsystems within Teledyne Imaging Sensors, developing synthesizable Verilog/SystemVerilog for pixel readout, timing, data formatting, and high-speed outputs. The role focuses on implementing and verifying digital logic that integrates with analog/mixed-signal blocks (ADCs, ROICs, sensor biasing) used in aerospace, defense, and scientific imaging.

Experience Level

Entry-level (Internship). Intended for current students or recent graduates; typically 0–1 years of professional experience in digital hardware design.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Design and implement RTL modules (pixel readout controllers, timing generators, data formatting, output interfaces).
• Write synthesizable Verilog/SystemVerilog that meets timing, power, and noise-sensitivity constraints.
• Develop testbenches and run simulations to verify functionality and robustness.
• Support integration of digital logic with analog/mixed-signal components such as ADCs, ROICs, and sensor biasing circuits.
• Analyze simulation waveforms, debug RTL issues, and participate in design reviews.
• Document design specifications, verification plans, and verification results.

Requirements

Must-have skills and qualifications, plus useful additions.

• Must-have: Strong understanding of digital logic design and hardware description languages (Verilog or SystemVerilog).
• Must-have: Experience developing testbenches and running simulations; ability to analyze waveforms and debug RTL.
• Must-have: Strong analytical skills and motivation to learn how digital logic interacts with analog signals.
• Must-have: U.S. citizenship (required for access restrictions).
• Nice-to-have: Familiarity with imaging systems, sensor architectures, or mixed-signal concepts.
• Nice-to-have: Exposure to FPGA development, ASIC design flows, or industry-standard EDA tools.
• Nice-to-have: Interest in infrared imaging, optics, or sensor physics.

Education Requirements

Pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field. U.S. citizenship is required due to access restrictions.
