Intern for portable stimuli and AI techniques

This six-month internship in Velizy, France, is for a final-year Master's student in Micro-Electronics or Computer Science. The mission involves exploring techniques for generating valid test cases for RTL digital designs at both IP and System levels using Cadence platforms. This includes utilizing the Portable Stimuli Standard (PSS) with the Perspec tool and investigating new AI techniques, specifically Large Language Models (LLM), combined with debug and formal tools to create valid tests.

Must Have

• Six-month internship
• University in France
• Last year of Master Degree
• Micro-Electronics and/or C.S. background
• Electronic skills
• Software skills (at least C code)
• Interest in verification methodologies

Good to Have

• Knowledge of UVM
• Knowledge of PSS

Internship of six months

University in France

Last year of Master Degree

Micro-Electronics and/or C.S.

Mission: Testbench and test generation, exploring portable stimuli and AI techniques

The student intern will :

Explore various techniques to generate valid testcases for RTL digital designs, at both IP and System level, on both Xcelium and Protium Cadence platforms

The first perspective to address is by using PSS (Portable Stimuli Standard) with the Perspec tool to model design configuration and test validity, and ensure conformity of scenari between Xcelium and Protium tests.

The second and complementary approach uses new AI techniques, combining LLM (Large Language Models) with debug and formal tools to create valid tests.

The internship will require both electronic and software skills (at least C code), and interest in verification methodologies, however prior knowledge of UVM or PSS is not necessary as it will be learned during the internship.
