At Microsoft, Interns work on real-world projects in collaboration with teams across the world, while having fun along the way. You‡ll be empowered to build community, explore your passions, and achieve your goals. This is your chance to bring your solutions and ideas to life while working on cutting-edge technology. The internship is designed not only for you to do great work with the opportunity to learn and grow, but to experience our culture full of diverse community connection, executive engagement, and memorable events.
Responsibilities
This opportunity will allow you to design, develop, modify, and evaluate electronic parts, components, or integrated circuitry for digital electronic devices and other digital electronic systems. Silicon Engineers define design architecture and operating parameters for circuitry and microelectronic components. They select components and equipment based on analysis of specifications and reliability. Some analyze designs and components to establish operating parameters and performance requirements to define complete pre-silicon verification test cases. Others develop test plans and direct support personnel, or other engineers, in the preparation and execution of design verification testing. Then some analyze data generated from test results to perform pre-silicon verification of operating parameters and performance requirements.
Effectively collaborate across multiple disciplines.
Contribute to and improve the hardware solutions we develop.
Think strategically, creatively, and innovate ways to communicate and visualize user experiences.
Implements or recommends technical solutions to common quality and design challenges, with guidance from others (including but not limited to logic design, verification, circuit design, physical design, and design for test).
Uses performance instrumentation and presents results to team and architects.
Uses standard practices to write complete design verification test cases, test benches, or automation.
Executes test plans for standard features or products.
Assists in writing tests for formal pre-silicon verification of subsystems within a single block; includes the use of simulation and emulation tools, as well as tests for signal integrity, to prevent bugs/failures before production.
