SOC Verification Graduate Intern – Job Description

Tesla’s AI Hardware team is seeking a talented SOC Verification Graduate Intern in Bengaluru, India for a full-time opportunity. As a SOC Verification Graduate Intern at Tesla, you will be instrumental in the pre-silicon RTL verification of block and top-level SOC designs. This exciting role involves collaborating with diverse teams to build a robust, metric-driven verification environment for advanced AI inference chips.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and establish a comprehensive SOC-level verification environment in collaboration with team members.
• Architect and implement highly reusable UVM-based test benches and integrate complex VIPs, sub-system test benches, and test suites at the SOC level.
• Liaise with Design, Architecture, SW, FW, and external IP delivery teams to ensure efficient design integration and verification.
• Develop coverage-driven verification plans derived from technical specifications.
• Execute, review, and refine verification plans to meet defined coverage targets.
• Define and review verification and validation test plans created by fellow team members.
• Provide support for post-silicon validation and SOC bring-up activities.
• Gain in-depth understanding of high-efficiency SOC architectures, standard peripherals (e.g., DDR, PCIe, USB), DMA, memory management schemes, multi-processor systems, memory controller subsystems, PLLs, power-up sequences, and secure boot schemes.
• Collaborate on the verification of CPU/GPU integration and coherency at the SOC level.
• Assist with HW/FW interaction, reset, and power verification.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Fresh graduates are encouraged to apply; hands-on DV experience is a significant advantage.
• Relevant internship experience in SOC verification is a plus.
• Strong proficiency in UVM, C/C++, and Python/Perl programming languages.
• Experience with CPU/GPU integration verification at the SOC level.
• Familiarity with coherency verification concepts in SOCs.
• Exposure to emulation platforms like Palladium or Zebu is desirable.
• Understanding of SOC bring-up and post-silicon validation processes.
