About This Role:

We are 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 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.

As part of our IP Group in Mississauga, you'll be involved in verifying current and next-generation Backplane Ethernet, PCIe Gen4/5/6, USB3/4, and MPHYv5/6 SERDES products. This position offers an excellent opportunity to work with digital and mixed-signal design engineers accountable for delivering high-end mixed-signal designs while collaborating with global teams.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Define and track Verification Testplans to ensure comprehensive coverage of design functionality
• Design and write constrained-random SystemVerilog testbenches using Verification Methodologies such as UVM (Universal Verification Methodology)
• Write SystemVerilog assertions and debug RTL and gate-level simulation failures
• Conduct functional and code coverage analysis to identify gaps and improve verification quality
• Explore cutting-edge applications and uses of AI-assisted technologies in verification and ASIC design, contributing to innovation in the field

What You'll Need:

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline
• Strong understanding of digital logic fundamentals
• Must be familiarity with Verilog and SystemVerilog
• Experience writing scripts in languages such as Perl, Unix shell, or Python
• Experience with object-oriented programming languages (C++, Java, Python, etc.)
• Independence and ownership mindset - you'll need to figure things out on your own at times and take responsibility for your work
• The willingness to learn and grow

Key Program Facts:

• Program Length: 16-month co-op internship
• Location: Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
• Working Model: Hybrid (combination of remote work and in-office collaboration at our Mississauga office)
• Full-Time/Part-Time: Full-time (40 hours per week)
