Astera Labs · San Jose, CA
Skills: Python
Digital Design Intern About the role Astera Labs is seeking a Digital Design Intern to contribute to the development of ASIC and digital hardware blocks. You will gain hands-on experience with RTL implementation, design-quality checks, simulation and elaboration, clock-domain crossing analysis, synthesis, and the collaboration required to move a design from specification toward verification and physical-design handoff. You will work on a scoped digital-design project with guidance from experienced engineers. Your work will combine learning the design methodology with making practical contributions to readable, reusable, and verifiable RTL. What you will do Learn the project RTL structure, coding methodology, build flow, design tools, and review process. Implement, modify, and review synthesizable Verilog or SystemVerilog RTL for digital logic blocks and interfaces. Translate block requirements into clear module structure, state machines, datapaths, control logic, registers, and interfaces. Generate or update RTL, filelists, register-related collateral, and configuration files using the project flow. Create or improve directed simulations, simple testbenches, assertions, and checks to exercise block functionality and corner cases. Run compile and elaboration, lint, clock-domain crossing, and synthesis flows; inspect reports and summarize issues. Analyze CDC crossings involving synchronizers, handshakes, asynchronous FIFOs, resets, clocks, and quasi-static signals. Debug RTL, tool warnings, constraint issues, and simulation mismatches with support from design and verification mentors. Apply coding guidelines, naming conventions, hierarchy rules, reset …truncated… nd-line tools, debugging, and technical documentation. Ability to reason carefully about requirements, waveforms, tool reports, and corner cases. Strong ownership, curiosity, practical judgment, and willingness to collaborate across engineering functions. Preferred qualifications Experience writing synthesiza…
