Role: Hardware Verification Intern
Type: Full-time paid internship
Duration: at least 8 weeks, starting June/July 2025
Team: Verification Team, Brno Design Center
Location: Brno, Czech Republic (on-site)
Are you passionate about technology and eager to uncover hidden flaws before they become real-world issues? Hardware verification engineers are the heroes behind the scenes, ensuring that cutting-edge processors function flawlessly. At Codasip, we know verification is a crucial pillar of CPU design, making the impossible possible by finding and fixing problems before they ever reach production.
As a Hardware Verification Intern, you will play an essential role in ensuring the quality and correctness of our modern RISC-V processors. You will gain experience in various aspects of hardware verification, including simulation, debugging, checkers, golden models, stimulus generation, and coverage analysis. This internship is a fantastic opportunity to learn from experienced engineers, explore different verification methodologies, and develop both technical and soft skills that will shape your future career.
What You’ll Learn & What We Offer
This internship blends skill development with unique opportunities:
- Technical Expertise: Hands-on experience with RISC-V architecture, simulation, stimulus generation, and formal verification.
- Methodologies: Exposure to industry-standard tools and practices (e.g., UVM, coverage analysis).
- Mentorship & Growth: Guidance from experienced engineers in a collaborative environment, with potential for future full-time roles.
- Culture & Innovation: A dynamic workplace with team-building activities, networking, and a focus on open-source/DIY projects.
- Soft Skills: Professional development in planning, communication, and teamwork.
Preferred Qualifications
- Education: Bachelor’s degree completed; pursuing a Master’s in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
- Technical Skills: Basic knowledge of HDLs (Verilog/VHDL/SystemVerilog), Linux, Git, and scripting (Python/Bash/Tcl).
- Soft Skills: Team-oriented mindset, initiative, and strong English communication.
Nice-to-Have Skills/Experience
- Interest in verification methodologies (simulation/formal) or RISC-V architecture.
- Familiarity with UVM, simulation tools, or processor design.
- DIY/open-source hardware/software projects.
