NVTHERM SoC Verification Intern, Tegra - 2027

Overview

• NVIDIA's Tegra is one of the most complex SoCs we build, powering autonomous driving platforms where safety, reliability, and thermal robustness are critical.
• NVTHERM is the thermal management IP responsible for temperature sensing, thermal protection, and thermal response across the SoC, a core piece of keeping the chip safe and performant under real world operating conditions.
• We are looking for a Design Verification Intern to join our team and take ownership of NVTHERM IP verification at the SoC level within Tegra.
• What you will be doing: Verify the NVTHERM IP at the SoC level, ensuring correct thermal sensing, thermal response, and protection behavior in the context of the full Tegra SoC.
• Ramp up on the SoC verification environment, understand how the testbench, existing legacy test cases, and simulation flow fit together.
• Learn the coverage flow used for signoff, including how functional and code coverage are collected and reviewed.
• Analyze current coverage against the legacy case suite, identify coverage holes, and update or add test cases to close them.
• Work closely with your mentor and the SoCV team to understand verification priorities and signoff requirements.
• What we need to see: Currently pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Basic understanding of digital design and verification concepts (RTL, testbenches, simulation).
• Familiarity with Verilog/SystemVerilog is a plus.
• Strong analytical skills and attention to detail, comfortable digging into coverage reports and test results to find gaps.
• Good communication skills and eagerness to learn in a fast paced, complex SoC environment.
