Astera Labs · San Jose, CA
HW Electrical Validation Intern Location: San Jose, California Employment type: Internship Team: Hardware Electrical Validation About the role Astera Labs is seeking a HW Electrical Validation Intern to help validate the hardware products that enable high-speed connectivity for AI and cloud infrastructure. In this role, you will gain hands-on lab experience with board-level validation—testing systems that incorporate Astera Labs chips—and work with hardware and ASIC designers to bring up boards, execute validation plans, analyze data, and communicate results. This is a practical, project-based opportunity for someone who enjoys working close to hardware, learning through measurement, and turning technical observations into clear next steps. What you’ll do Support board bring-up and initial hardware checks, including visual inspection, impedance and short checks, power-rail and voltage measurements, reference-clock checks, I²C-tree checks, and MCU firmware flashing/loading. Help build and execute electrical validation plans for hardware products and externally sourced hardware. Set up lab measurements and collect data for power, clock, and interface validation under the guidance of experienced engineers. Assist with power-validation activities such as noise and ripple measurements, load transients, monotonic ramp behavior, reset recovery, power sequencing, and regulator analysis. Use first-principles troubleshooting to investigate defined issues, document evidence, and recommend next steps. Analyze results and maintain clear validation records, reports, issue updates, and technical documentation. Collaborate with Hardware, ASIC, Firmware, System Validation, ATE, Product Applications, and manufacturing partners as needed to support bring-up and validation readiness. Own one scoped deliverable with visible output, such as a data package, automation script, documentation page, report update, or validation improvement.
