The Power Management team is seeking a forward-thinking and innovative Digital Design Intern in our Nabern office close to Kirchheim Teck. In this role, you will be taking part in the design of our devices and assist with delivering high quality chips in order to meet performance, feature, timing, area, power and efficiency goals.
Description
With mentorship, you will work within the Digital Design Team to refine or create requirements and specifications, collaborate with the Analog Design and Design Verification teams, create/update RTL designs, and run simulations to check your design.
This internship could include tasks such as implementing bespoke control of analog circuits, creating state machines to control the system, or working on industry standard interfaces to high performance SoCs. Your designs will need to balance energy efficiency and area constraints with project schedule and maintainability. You may also review synthesis and power reports, root-cause and resolve timing and power issues and ensure maximal QoR throughout your design.
