What does a Design Verification Intern do?

A Design Verification Intern assists in testing and validating semiconductor designs to ensure they meet specifications. They work with simulation tools, write testbenches in languages like SystemVerilog, and debug design issues. Interns collaborate with engineers to develop verification plans and automate testing processes. This role provides hands-on experience in hardware design, verification methodologies, and industry tools used in chip development.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Design Verification Intern position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Design Verification Intern, you need a solid understanding of digital logic design, computer architecture, and programming, typically supported by coursework in electrical or computer engineering. Familiarity with hardware description languages (such as Verilog or VHDL), simulation tools, and verification methodologies (like UVM or SystemVerilog Assertions) is highly valuable. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and clear communication skills help you collaborate effectively, document findings, and resolve design issues. These competencies are crucial for ensuring high-quality, reliable hardware designs and for contributing meaningfully within engineering teams.

What types of projects or tasks can I expect to work on as a Design Verification Intern?

As a Design Verification Intern, you will typically assist with creating and executing testbenches, developing verification plans, debugging simulation results, and writing scripts to automate testing. You'll work closely with verification engineers and design teams to identify design flaws, validate new features, and help ensure that products meet quality and functional requirements. This hands-on exposure not only deepens your technical skills but also provides insight into the end-to-end hardware development process. You'll frequently collaborate and communicate findings in team meetings, making it a great opportunity to build experience in a real-world engineering environment.

Job description

Quadric has created an innovative general purpose neural processing unit (GPNPU) architecture. Quadric's co-optimized software and hardware is targeted to run neural network (NN) inference workloads in a wide variety of edge and endpoint devices, ranging from battery operated smart-sensor systems to high-performance automotive or autonomous vehicle systems. Unlike other NPUs or neural network accelerators in the industry today that can only accelerate a portion of a machine learning graph, the Quadric GPNPU executes both NN graph code and conventional C++ DSP and control code.
Note: Our preference is for this internship to be based out of our Burlingame, California office. Candidates should be based in the Bay Area or able to relocate for the internship period and available to work on site.

Requirements

Required

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Familiarity with verification methodologies for CPU or GPU designs.
  • Proficient in either SystemVerilog, SystemC or C/C++. UVM is a plus.
  • Prepared to collaborate with architects and designers to document test plans, write and debug tests, and generate coverage.
  • Demonstrated capability in problem-solving, debugging, and clear technical communication.


Preferred

  • Coursework or project experience with Computer Architecture, RTL Design, ML systems, or performance engineering.
  • Exposure to assembly or low-level code generation.
  • Adept with scripting languages like Python and using LLMs to get things done.

Benefits

At Quadric, we value Integrity, Humility, and Happiness. What we expect from one another is simple and clear: Initiative, Collaboration, and Completion. We are a collaborative team focused on building something extraordinary in the edge computing space. 

The hourly rate for this temporary internship position is $45.00/hour to $60.00/hour. The actual rate offered will depend on a number of factors, including the specific level of the role, years and depth of relevant experience and education, technical skills and competencies, and work location. 

Quadric interns receive hands-on experience working alongside industry experts in AI and semiconductor technology, with access to mentorship and meaningful project ownership from day one.

Founded in 2016 and based in downtown Burlingame, California, Quadric is building the world's first supercomputer designed for the real-time needs of edge devices. Quadric aims to empower developers in every industry with superpowers to create tomorrow's technology, today. The company was co-founded by technologists from MIT and Carnegie Mellon, who were previously the technical co-founders of the Bitcoin computing company 21.

Quadric is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where people from all backgrounds can do their best work. We consider all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic under applicable law.

If this role resonates with you, we encourage you to apply even if your experience does not perfectly match every qualification. We value potential, curiosity, and a willingness to learn just as much as direct experience. Skills and growth come in many forms, and we would love to hear your story.
