Design Verification Intern information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a design verification intern, 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.

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.

Job description

Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.
OUR MISSION
True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors - enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.
OUR VALUES
  • Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.
  • What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.
  • It's the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.

RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Own all aspects of Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) system development, including architecture definition, algorithm design, verification, hardware integration, and on-orbit operations.
  • Design, test, and validate GNC flight software and embedded algorithms for spacecraft operating in LEO, GEO, and other orbit regimes.
  • Develop and maintain spacecraft Attitude and Orbit Determination & Estimation (AOD/AOE) algorithms, including sensor fusion and filtering frameworks (e.g., EKF, UKF, batch least-squares).
  • Conduct trade studies and provide design recommendations for GNC hardware such as reaction wheels, torque rods, thrusters, star trackers, sun sensors, IMUs, and RF/optical navigation sensors.
  • Develop GNC algorithms and implement them in flight software; verify performance and robustness through high-fidelity simulation, Monte Carlo analysis, and hardware-in-the-loop testing.
  • Design, implement, and improve high-fidelity 6-DOF simulation environments for SIL, HIL, and advanced mission analysis.
  • Utilize and enhance frequency-domain and time-domain control analysis tools to ensure stability margins, disturbance rejection, and performance in off-nominal conditions.
  • Define system- and subsystem-level GNC requirements, interfaces, and verification plans in collaboration with systems engineering.
  • Work cross-functionally with avionics, propulsion, software, mission operations, and systems teams to ensure seamless integration of GNC functionality.
  • Support on-orbit commissioning, system calibration, maneuver planning, and anomaly resolution throughout mission operations.

QUALIFICATIONS
  • Bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, or related field
  • 2 - 4 years of relevant GNC Engineering experience in the aerospace and defense industry
  • Coursework or project experience in spacecraft attitude dynamics, orbital mechanics, and control systems
  • Strong understanding of physics, attitude dynamics, orbital mechanics, and software development principles
  • Internship or project experience in GNC, control systems, or simulation development
  • Experience with C++ and/or Python for algorithm development, numerical methods, or simulation
  • Familiarity with spacecraft GNC concepts, such as sensors, actuators, state estimation, and control laws
  • Exposure to filtering or estimation methods (e.g., Kalman filters) through internships, coursework, or projects
  • Ability to build, test, and debug software and simulation tools
  • Strong analytical skills and ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary engineering environment
  • Demonstrated ability to take ownership of tasks and learn new concepts quickly

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
  • Master's degree in aerospace engineering or equivalent discipline
  • Experience with closed-loop control, orbital maneuvering, filtering, state estimation, fault management, and software development
  • Experience developing simulation environments for spaceflight physics
  • Experience with flight operations and solving problems real-time on console
  • Experience performing line of sight performance analysis such as jitter, smear, and pointing accuracy
  • Experience doing hands-on GNC hardware testing
  • Ability to maintain or obtain TS//SCI US government security clearance

COMPENSATION
  • Colorado Base Salary: $90,000 - $155,000
  • Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave
