Participate in architecture and design discussions, use models and experiments to clarify behavior and tradeoffs, and contribute reviewed RTL or model changes in collaboration with their owners
Build scripts and reusable tools for configuration generation, regression execution, and results analysis across generated designs
Use AI-assisted tools in everyday coding, property development, and debugging; review generated work against design intent and validate it with tests and formal analysis rather than accepting the output at face value
What We're Looking For
You should demonstrate the following professional traits to be successful:
Intellectual curiosity and a willingness to ask questions, incorporate feedback, and learn unfamiliar hardware and software concepts
A methodical approach to problem-solving — one that distinguishes between what is expected, what is observed, and what needs to be investigated further
A collaborative mindset with the ability to communicate clearly and work effectively with engineers across architecture, design, and verification disciplines
Qualifications
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field — with 6+ months of work or academic experience
Foundation in digital logic, sequential circuits, and computer architecture, with the ability to read and reason about RTL
Programming and algorithmic problem-solving skills, demonstrated in C/C++, Python, or an HDL through coursework, research, projects, or internships
Experience explaining expected behavior, devise tests, and investigate unexpected results
Hands-on use of AI-assisted development tools in coursework, research, or projects, including reviewing and testing the code they produce
All minimum qualifications may be satisfied through internships, academic projects, coursework, or other practical experience.
Preferred Qualifications
Coursework or project experience with RTL simulation, formal verification, SystemVerilog assertions, or UVM
Familiarity with interconnects, cache and memory hierarchies, or protocols such as AXI, CHI, or PCIe
Hands-on projects involving RTL design, FPGA implementation, hardware modeling, or hardware-software co-design
Experience with Linux, Git, scripting, and automated build or test flows
Experience building AI-assisted workflows for specification analysis, test or property generation, or debugging
Preferred qualifications may also be satisfied through internships, academic projects, coursework, or other practical experience.
