Are you creative, innovative, and enthusiastic about new technologies with a keen interest in CPU micro-architecture and RTL Design? You are in the right place!
Arm’s Sophia Antipolis is located in one of the most appealing parts of France, the French Riviera. Surrounded by mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, this outstanding design centre has delivered leading products from Arm’s Cortex (TM) CPU family. These CPUs power some of the world’s best-selling smartphones, tablets and gaming systems, using technology that has taken user experience and performance to another level.
CPU Sophia hardware design team is a combination of expert engineers and some of the most enthusiastic and passionate graduates from the best engineering schools. Collectively, the team is highly creative, collaborative, delivery oriented and committed.
Job Overview:
Either improving existing hardware or creating new hardware, interns will always be provided with the most exciting and enriching topics that could end up in a real project. Our main focus is to conceive, build and test the most energy efficient hardware that meets partner's expectations in terms of Area, Frequency and Performance.
A wide variety of internship topics is offered in microarchitecture and design for which you will have to show and grow strong development capabilities in CPU microarchitecture knowledge and C/C++ and HDL languages.
We will support you with continuous learning and development, you will be encouraged to achieve your professional goals.
Responsibilities:
To start, interns need to take the ownership of a specific topic: to provide some examples, last year's interns worked on innovative ways to improve L2 Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB), access patterns of Scalable Matrix Extension (SME), Load/Store Queues, Workload Power cost prediction, efficiency of Branch predictors.
Interns will become familiar with the subject, think about possible implementations and design the most promising one. One of our brilliant engineers will mentor each intern during their journey and interns will share their findings with regular presentations and with a final report.
Required Skills and Experience:
- Students in their last year of Masters (BAC+5 or equivalent) and available for a 5 to 6-month internship.
- Students in electronic engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or other relevant field, but other degrees may also be considered based on your experience.
- Passion for new technologies, high-end mobile computing, and innovation.
- An understanding of computer architecture fundamentals.
- Knowledge of Microprocessors/CPU microarchitecture
- Knowledge of Microprocessor/ASIC systems
- Familiarity with a hardware description language such as VHDL or Verilog/SystemVerilog.
- Use of a Linux environment and at least one programming/scripting language.
- Fluency in English
“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience:
- Basic Knowledge of the Arm architecture.
- Assembly language programming, ideally in Arm assembler.
- Knowledge in C programming.
- Use of UNIX and shell programming.
- Familiarity with versioning environment such as git.
- Ability to express ideas and communicate effectively.
- Good interpersonal skills.
