## Description

We are looking for a VLSI CAD Timing Intern focused on Applied AI to lead end-to-end solution development for timing and constraint analysis workflows.

You will be part of a cross-disciplinary team building intelligent systems that learn from sign-off data, reason across flows, and assist engineers in achieving faster and more predictable closure.

**Responsibilities**

- Learn and support static timing analysis (STA) flows using industry tools like PrimeTime and Tempus for advanced ASIC designs.

- Help develop and automate timing, constraints, and QoR validation flows using scripting and data-driven methods.

- Assist with analyzing timing reports, constraints, and design data across corners and modes to improve closure predictability.

- Collaborate with CAD, physical design, and methodology engineers on timing sign-off strategies and best practices.

- Contribute to early AI- or analytics-assisted approaches for timing analysis, constraint checking, or flow optimization.

- Explore how physical effects influence timing and design decisions.

**Requirements**

- Currently pursuing a Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.

- Coursework or academic knowledge in VLSI/ASIC design, digital circuits, or computer architecture.

- Exposure to applying agentic AI to back-end VLSI tasks.

- Familiarity with the basics of static timing analysis, constraints, or digital design flows.

- Knowledge in scripting or programming (Python preferred).

- Comfort working with data, reports, and technical problem-solving in complex systems.

**Benefits**

- Intern benefits

- Hourly rate: 20 USD - 71 USD
