Digital Design Verification Engineering Intern

Seeking a highly motivated engineering student willing to learn Digital Design Verification, which is a critical step of the product development process. Design Verification aims to confirm that the design complies with the Protocol Standards and System Requirements before it is developed into a chip. Exhaustively verifying functionality in the design phase allows engineers to catch bugs early in the development cycle where they are cheaper and easier to fix. Designs have become more complex due to the decreased size of process node technology and to the increase in the number of logic blocks hence the high demand for Digital Design Verification Engineers.

The candidate will be involved in verifying current and next generation Backplane Ethernet, PCIe, USB 3/4, and/or MIPI CPHY/DPHY SERDES products. The position offers an excellent opportunity to work with digital and mixed signal design engineers accountable for delivering high-end mixed-signal designs. Starting in May 2025, this 16-month internship position will be with our Solutions Group in Mississauga. What you will learn:

• Defining and tracking Verification Testplans
• Designing and writing constrained-random SystemVerilog testbenches using a Verification Methodology such as UVM (Universal Verification Methodology)
• Creating and examining Functional Coverage
• Writing SystemVerilog assertions
• Debugging RTL and gate-level simulation failures
• Firmware Debug
• Bug Tracking using Software Tools such as Jira
• Code Coverage Analysis
  
  

Skill Requirements:

• Experience writing scripts in languages such as Perl, Unix shell, or Python
• Experience with any object-oriented programming language (C++, Java, Python, etc.)
• Familiar with Verilog or SystemVerilog
  
  

Education Requirements:

• Enrolled in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering program, or similar
