Microsoft•Raleigh, NC

6d•$5,690 - $12,250

About The Position

Come build community, explore your passions and do your best work at Microsoft with thousands of University interns from every corner of the world. This opportunity will allow you to bring your aspirations, talent, potential—and excitement for the journey ahead. As a Silicon Engineering Intern, you will design, develop, modify and evaluate electronic parts, components, or integrated circuitry for digital electronic devices and other digital electronic systems. You will define design architecture and operating parameters for circuitry and microelectronic components, select components and equipment based on analysis of specifications and reliability. You will also analyze designs and components to establish operating parameters and performance requirements to define complete pre-silicon verification test cases, develop test plans and direct support personnel, or other engineers, in the preparation and execution of design verification testing. This opportunity will enable you to analyze data generated from test results to perform pre-silicon verification of operating parameters and performance requirements. 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. Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond. #EiP

Responsibilities

Contributes to and improves the hardware solutions we develop.
Uses performance instrumentation and presents results to team and architects.
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 logic design, verification, circuit design, physical design, and design for test).
Uses standard practices to write complete design verification test cases, test benches, or automation.
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.
