VLSI Design Verification Masters Level Intern

Job Title

VLSI Design Verification Masters Level Intern

Role Summary

Internship on verification of ASICs used in HPE Slingshot interconnects. Work with architects, logic designers, and verification engineers on switch or NIC ASIC verification tasks for future Slingshot generations.

You'll learn industry-standard SystemVerilog and UVM techniques, participate in technical design and debug discussions, and apply scripting, automation, and AI-assisted tools to verification workflows.

Experience Level

Entry-level (Internship).

Responsibilities

Typical responsibilities include:

• Develop SystemVerilog and UVM testbench components (models, monitors, scoreboards, checkers).
• Write constrained-random tests and develop functional coverage to identify verification gaps.
• Debug regression failures, identify and help resolve logic bugs.
• Collaborate directly with ASIC designers and architects and participate in technical design/debug discussions.
• Use scripting, automation, and AI-assisted tools to improve verification efficiency.

Requirements

Must-have skills and attributes:

• ASIC or VLSI experience through coursework, industry experience, or self-study.
• Experience with object-oriented programming.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills.
• Willingness to ask questions, explain reasoning, and participate in technical discussions.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with hardware description languages (Verilog, SystemVerilog, VHDL).
• Experience with scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or Tcl.
• Experience working in Linux development environments.
• Academic, research, or personal projects involving digital hardware.
• Experience with agentic AI coding tools and workflows and distributed teams.

Education Requirements

Pursuing a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field. Relevant coursework such as digital design and computer architecture is expected; equivalent practical experience (industry or self-study) is also considered.
