ASIC Engineer Intern

Who We Are

Hewlett Packard Enterprise is the global edge-to-cloud company that helps people live and work better. We help organizations connect, protect, analyze, and act on their data and applications, from the edge to the cloud. Our culture values varied backgrounds and encourages people to grow their careers here.

This role is designed as onsite, with an expectation that you will primarily work from an HPE partner or customer office.

Job Description

Join our ASIC team as an intern and gain hands-on experience in semiconductor development. Interns choose one of three focus areas: ASIC Design, ASIC Verification, or ASIC Tools & Methodologies. You are not expected to perform all three activities, and you will work closely with senior engineers in your chosen area.

Responsibilities (based on chosen focus area)

ASIC Design

• Take part in ASIC architecture investigation, including evaluating design trade-offs and performance analysis.
• Create detailed functional and micro-architectural specifications.
• Assist with RTL design in SystemVerilog, meeting functionality, performance, and power goals.
• Support synthesis, linting, and design reviews.

ASIC Verification

• Develop and maintain testbenches using SystemVerilog and UVM.
• Write test plans and assertions, build functional coverage models, and debug simulation failures.
• Contribute to regression setup and results analysis.
• Take part in emulation activities for pre-silicon validation.

Tools & Methodologies

• Contribute to automation that speeds up ASIC development, flow improvements, and EDA tool evaluations.
• Develop utilities that improve productivity and design and verification processes.
• Work with EDA tools for physical design, including synthesis, place-and-route, timing analysis, and sign-off flows.
• Support Design-for-Test (DFT) methodology development and integration.

General Responsibilities

• Work with team members to troubleshoot technical issues and propose solutions.
• Attend team meetings, learn project methodologies, and share progress in periodic reviews.
• Keep learning new technologies and best practices in your focus area.
• Complete assigned tasks efficiently and apply feedback.

Education & Experience

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
• Coursework in Digital Logic Design, Computer Architecture, or VLSI Design is highly desirable.
• Familiarity with ASIC concepts through academic projects or internships is a plus.

Knowledge & Skills

• Programming & Scripting: Exposure to SystemVerilog, UVM, and basic knowledge of Python, C++, or similar languages.
• Understanding of the ASIC design flow, verification methodologies, and EDA tools for physical design.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to manage time and meet deadlines.
• Passion for high-tech work and continuous learning.
• Knowledge of networking protocols, machine learning, or advanced computer architecture is a plus.
