Required
Passionate about computer architecture and curious about how cutting-edge CPUs actually work.
Enrolled in a BS, MS, or PhD program in EE, CE, CS, or a related field, with a strong academic record.
Experienced with C++, SystemVerilog, or scripting languages through coursework or personal projects.
Comfortable thinking at both the software and hardware level—including assembly and RTL.
Contribute to the functional verification of high-performance CPUs designed for general purpose and AI/ML applications.
Help develop DV test plans and testbenches for both ISA and microarchitecture-level features.
Debug RTL code and assist in making real design changes that impact chip development.
Build tools and write stimulus code that can scale across pre-silicon to post-silicon environments.
What You Will Learn
Get hands-on experience verifying state-of-the-art AI/ML hardware with guidance from experienced engineers.
Explore how performance, RTL, and DV tools come together in a full-chip environment.
Deepen your understanding of CPU design, ISA-level verification, and system-level debugging.
