About the Role
The Custom Cloud Solutions (CCS) Hardware Validation Group is responsible for ensuring the quality, reliability, and performance of next-generation data center ASIC and SoC products. As an intern, you will work alongside experienced engineers, gaining hands-on exposure to cutting-edge silicon validation across high-speed interfaces and complex platform environments.
Key Responsibilities
- Assist in functional hardware validation and debug activities for platforms utilizing high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, CXL, and Ethernet.
- Support system bring-up tasks by running test cases, collecting data, and documenting results.
- Write and execute automation scripts (e.g., Python) to streamline silicon testing and validation workflows.
- Operate standard lab equipment — including logic analyzers and oscilloscopes — to assist with signal integrity analysis and system debugging.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (design, firmware, and validation) to investigate and reproduce hardware or protocol-level issues, and contribute to root-cause analysis.
Requirements & Tech Stack
- Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field with an expected graduation date of Fall 2027 – Summer 2028.
- Basic understanding of digital logic, computer architecture, or hardware design principles.
- Familiarity with at least one scripting or programming language (e.g., Python, C) for writing test scripts or automating tasks.
- Ability to work in a hands-on lab environment and willingness to learn how to use standard lab equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, logic analyzers).
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
Preferred Qualifications
- Coursework or project experience related to high-speed interfaces (e.g., PCIe, Ethernet, USB).
- Exposure to hardware bring-up, FPGA/ASIC design, or embedded systems.
- Experience with version control tools (e.g., Git) and basic familiarity with Linux/Unix environments.
