What could you be doing as a Hardware Intern?

 

  • Working with design teams to develop IP that delivers high performance, power efficient products.
  • Analysing existing tools looking for enhancements/automation, alongside trialling new tools.
  • Verifying IP using a wide range of methodologies – constrained random simulation using testbenches written in SystemVerilog, running real applications on emulation or FPGA platforms, and using formal methods.
  • Implementing Arm IP in silicon process nodes using design automation tools.
  • Developing system solutions using ARM IP for different market domains ranging from mobile, IoT, data centres, etc.
  • Writing specifications for Arm’s IP products and systems – analysing trade-offs between different options using software or hardware models.
  • Providing Verification and Implementation support for systems through the lifecycle of the design right up to the delivery to the customer.
