Design Verification, Intern

About this Role

We are hiring an intern for our Design Verification team at Lightmatter! Lightmatter has created a solution in photonic computing: using photons instead of electrons to take advantage of their higher bandwidth. We build chips for artificial intelligence computing. Our architecture leverages the unique properties of light to enable fast and efficient inference and training engines.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate closely with digital, photonics, and analog designers to gain a thorough understanding of their designs and formulate comprehensive test plans for verifying their work.
• Create UVM test benches for subsystem-level verification and provide support for full-chip verification. Debug test benches, identify and address issues, achieve high coverage, and ultimately sign off on Design Verification (DV).
• Develop Real Number Models (RNM) for photonics and analog Intellectual Properties (IPs) and conduct AMS verification to ensure accurate model representation. Integrate the RNM models seamlessly into the UVM test bench.

Qualifications

• ​Currently enrolled in a graduate engineering program, preferably in an ECE, EE or Computer Engineering degree
• Proficiency in Hardware Description Languages (HDL) such as SystemVerilog
• Knowledge of verification methodologies such as UVM
• Proficiency in using simulation tools like Xcelium, ModelSim, Questa, or VCS
• Experience with Scripting Languages (perl or python)
• Strong problem-solving skills to identify and resolve issues in the design
• Exposure to AMS verification
• Exposure to formal verification
• Fluency in English, both written and verbal
• Ability to work with diverse teams of engineers and scientists
