Designing, testing, and analyzing the hardware and software that make next-generation computing possible, including CPU and high speed IO subsystems, system-level validation and automation, emerging IO technologies, power, cooling, and energy efficiency
Requirements
- Experience with hands-on lab testing
- Experience in at least one programming or scripting language (such as Python, C/C++, or MATLAB)
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with an interest in understanding how hardware and systems work
- Curiosity about technology beyond the classroom — such as personal projects, hackathons, or research work
- An ability to learn new tools and technologies quickly and adapt to complex engineering challenges
- Good teamwork and communication skills, with a willingness to collaborate across fields
- Experience with electrical and computer engineering principles
Responsibilities
- Help design and test CPU and high speed IO subsystems, learning how to measure and improve performance, power, and reliability
- Work with engineers on system-level validation and automation, creating scripts and tools to streamline testing and data analysis
- Explore emerging IO technologies (like PCIeG6 and 800G Ethernet) and how they support advanced computing workloads
- Support investigations into power, cooling, and energy efficiency, including liquid cooling systems for high-performance processors
- Collaborate across teams to understand how different components — from chips to full systems — come together in real-world platforms
- Apply what you’ve learned in class while gaining exposure to tools and methods used in modern hardware design and system development
- Perform measurements with power meters, oscilloscopes or logic analyzers
Other
- Currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD or equivalent experience program in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or a closely related field
- Ability to receive regular feedback and development opportunities
- Ability to participate in social activities to connect with peers
- Ability to be considered for future Graduate positions (subject to performance)
- Need for accommodations or adjustments during the recruitment process
