Hardware, Digital internship roles
I enjoyed doing EE224 and EE309 courses in second year.
Preparation Resources
Course materials mostly from EE224, EE309, EE204, and EE214. Had also done an SoS in computer architecture and did the digital question bank for practise.
Focus on digital systems and microprocessor course contents. Also brush up on VHDL/Verilog coding and also look into analog circuits and signal processing related topics if possible.
Interview Experience
Technical test -> Technical Interview -> Offer
Google and NVIDIA didn’t shortlist DD people, but that was expected.
Difficulty rating (1-5): 4
Project Work
It was basically to develop an automation flow for IP RTL testing using Python.
Overall Experience
The people and the overall work environment is not at all what we would expect in a corporate setup. Everyone was very friendly and ready to help whenever I faced issues with my project. My mentor was a bit strict but very helpful throughout the internship. So overall a pretty positive experience I’d say.
Networking Opportunities
Made good connections with my team members and manager.
Recommendation & Advice
This definitely is a great internship opportunity for anyone interested in the field. But the amount of learning you get in the digital electronic side of things is minimal as most interns in the role got AI and automation related projects.
