About this role
Ambiq is seeking a Design Verification Intern to work on-site in Singapore, supporting the verification of complex digital systems built on the company's energy-efficient semiconductor technology. You'll own verification tasks across multiple levels—from individual logic blocks through full system-on-chip—working with designs that include CPUs, signal processors, and security hardware for IoT and edge AI applications. The role demands hands-on technical work: developing test plans, building scalable test benches in SystemVerilog and UVM, creating comprehensive test cases and stimulus generation, automating randomized testing environments, and performing root-cause analysis on identified issues.
Success in this position requires a strong foundation in digital design fundamentals. You should be currently pursuing a degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering with coursework covering Verilog/SystemVerilog, at least one scripting language (Python, Perl, Tcl, or C/C++), and familiarity with AMBA protocols. Comfort in Linux/UNIX environments and experience with edge-based AI inference are valued. Beyond technical skills, Ambiq looks for self-starters with solid analytical and debugging abilities, strong communication, and a collaborative approach—someone who takes full ownership of assigned work and delivers quality results that meet industry standards.
