The Group:

The Data Center and Energy Group develops next-generation power conversion ICs for a broad range of Data Center and power conversion markets.

As our real-world analog signal processing capabilities in power products advance, there is an increasing demand for high-power integrated solutions with telemetry and user programmability. To achieve this goal, our team of analog and digital designers works on ground-breaking products by combining cutting-edge process technologies with advanced power IC design techniques.

The Data Center and Energy team is seeking a skilled and experienced Analog Design Engineer to join our development team.

The Position: Digital Design Verification Intern

About the Role

The Data Center and Energy group is seeking a Digital Design Verification Intern to join our mixed digital design and verification team based in Milan. The team develops advanced mixed-signal ASIC solutions for power conversion and control applications in data center and energy systems.

As a Digital Design Verification Intern, you will work alongside experienced design and verification engineers and gain hands-on experience with the verification of real ASIC products. You will contribute to the development of verification environments, test implementation, simulation, coverage analysis, and debug while building your knowledge of modern verification methodologies.

The role provides strong interaction with digital design engineers , allowing you to understand both the implementation and verification sides of ASIC development. You will also have opportunities to work with analog engineers and gain exposure to mixed-signal verification and Real-Number Modeling (RNM) .

The position is particularly suited to Master's students interested in completing their thesis in an industrial environment and recent graduates looking to start a career in digital design and verification . The internship typically lasts six months and is intended to provide the technical development and practical experience needed to progress toward an engineering position within the team.

Key Responsibilities

•Contribute to the verification of digital and mixed-signal ASIC blocks and subsystems

•Develop and execute tests using SystemVerilog and structured verification methodologies

•Support the development and maintenance of reusable verification environments

•Develop directed and constrained-random tests and contribute to functional coverage

•Analyze simulation results and perform hands-on debug of RTL and verification environment issues

•Work closely with digital design engineers to understand requirements, identify issues, and verify the correctness of RTL implementations

•Gain practical experience with UVM, assertions, functional coverage, regression, and coverage-driven verification

•Collaborate with analog engineers on mixed-signal verification , including the use and development of Real-Number Models (RNM) for analog blocks

•Develop scripts and automation using languages such as Python and Tcl to improve verification efficiency

•Explore the practical application of AI-assisted tools for activities such as code development, test generation, debug, failure analysis, and verification productivity

•Document verification activities, results, and technical findings and present progress to the engineering team

•Participate in design and verification reviews , learning established engineering practices from experienced team members

Required Skills

•Good foundation in digital electronics and digital circuit design

•Understanding of Verilog or SystemVerilog and basic RTL concepts

•Basic understanding of digital simulation and verification

•Programming or scripting experience, preferably using Python, Tcl, C/C , or similar languages
