Along the way, you’ll tackle challenging problems with a team who welcome your questions and support you as you build your skills and confidence.  <h3>What you’ll work on</h3> Bring your curiosity, bright ideas and problem-solving skills to the chips behind tomorrow’s AI systems. As a Silicon summer intern, you’ll join one of our four specialist Silicon teams: logical design, verification, physical design or design for test (DFT). You’ll contribute to real chip development, learning from experienced colleagues and building your understanding of how advanced AI chips are designed, verified and prepared for manufacture. Depending on your team, you’ll work on areas such as register-transfer level (RTL) design, SOC integration, verification methods, physical implementation or the critical role of DFT. You’ll use industry-standard electronic design automation (EDA) tools and take ownership of clear tasks, with support from experienced engineers. <h3>How you’ll learn and grow</h3> During the 12-week programme, you’ll develop practical silicon engineering skills in the team you join, building on the fundamentals you’ve learned through your studies and projects. Hands-on tasks will help you learn modern design techniques and use industry-standard EDA tools. You’ll build skills in areas such as RTL, verification, timing or physical design, depending on your team’s focus. Feedback from reviews and practical problem solving will help you develop your technical judgement, explain your approach and understand how your work fits into the wider chip development process. Bring your curiosity and willingness to learn; we’ll support you as you build your knowledge and confidence. <h3>What we're looking for</h3> <ul> <li>Working towards a degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, or a related subject such as Physics or Maths. </li> <li>Technical skills in C, C++ or Python, demonstrated through study, projects, hobbies or practical experience </li> <li>An interest in AI compute and silicon design, including ASICs, verification, logical design, DFT or physical design, with motivation to learn EDA tools and modern design techniques </li> <li>A curious, self-starting approach, with examples from activities or hobbies beyond your studies, plus clear communication and the ability to work well with others </li> </ul> You don’t need an engineering background to join us. If you’re curious, motivated and enjoy solving problems, we’ll teach you the skills you need. Previous industry experience is not required. Tell us what you built or investigated through coursework, personal or team projects, hobbies or other relevant experience, how you approached it and what you learned.  <h3>Benefits </h3> <ul> <li>Flexible working: Find a balance between your internship and life outside work </li> <li>5 days
