Emulation Engineering Intern About the role Astera Labs is seeking an Emulation Engineering Intern to help enable fast, repeatable pre-silicon validation of complex ASIC and system designs. You will work at the intersection of RTL, design verification, firmware, system modeling, and infrastructure to build and operate emulation environments that make hardware and software testing more productive before silicon is available. You will gain hands-on experience with emulator setup, model compilation, test execution, regression infrastructure, waveform and software debug, and emulator performance. Your work will support a scoped project that improves test coverage, reproducibility, debug turnaround, model performance, or resource utilization. What you will do Set up and operate emulation environments, including model selection, workspace configuration, resource allocation, run directories, and cleanup. Compile and package RTL, firmware, C/C++, transactor, and test components for emulation workflows. Create, modify, and run sanity, firmware, traffic, stress, and system-level tests using Python, C/C++, command-line tools, or configuration knobs. Build reproducible regression tests using controlled seeds, configuration files, scoreboards, error detection, and end-of-test checks. Execute emulation models on platforms such as Synopsys ZeBu or comparable systems, and help support alternate environments such as Palladium or QEMU where applicable. Debug failures using logs, timestamps, waveforms, performance reports, model output, and targeted reruns. Support software and firmware debug over emulation using tools such as OpenOCD and GDB to inspect registers, set breakpoints, and investigate system behav …truncated… ncepts. Ability to investigate failures systematically, reproduce issues, analyze data, and communicate findings clearly. Strong ownership, curiosity, practical judgment, and willingness to collaborate across engineering functions. Preferred qualifications Experience…
