What you could be doing
Students on summer placement would perform a wide range of supporting activities working directly for a member of our team, reflecting the diverse activities involved in IC development. This work involves activities drawn from design, verification, chip layout, lab prototyping and silicon validation with specific activities selected based on the products in development at the time.
Students joining EnSilica for a 12-month placement would initially work in a supporting role in one of our IC product developments with opportunities to progress beyond a supporting role and perform design/verification/prototyping work as their skills develop.
