SUMMER INTERNSHIPS - MIPS Technologies

MIPS Technologies has summer internship positions open in its Mountain View,
California headquarters. MIPS Technologies is a premier provider of
synthesizable microprocessor core designs for embedded markets.
Interested candidates should submit their resume to: intern@mips.com. For
further questions contact: John Robinson at (650) 567-5052. 

Core Design Team

These positions will be in the microprocessor core design teams. The
candidates will be exposed to various aspects of microprocessor core designs
including, RTL development, simulation and verification of designs, as well
as synthesis and timing analysis. 

The job may include writing tests in MIPS assembly to verify functionality
of processor designs, developing pseudo-random tests, developing assertions,
performing coverage analysis and working with designers on bug isolation.
The job may also include developing and maintaining tools, scripts and
test-benches to assist in RTL design and verification. 

Candidates working on a BSEE or MS in Electrical Engineering or Computer
Science may apply for this position. The successful candidate is expected to
have a good understanding of digital logic as well as some basic knowledge
of microprocessors. Prior experience with Verilog, C/C++ and/or Perl is a
plus.

Architecture Team

These positions will be in the architecture team where the candidate will be
exposed to the latest architectural ideas specifically tuned to the needs of
the embedded and consumer markets. The candidate will primarily work on
investigating novel ideas and implementing them in architectural simulation
models for experimentation results and analysis. 

The job will require understanding existing extensions to the MIPS
architecture, working to develop new ideas in areas that are of current
interest to MIPS Technologies, and then following through with experiments
to validate the new ideas. Emphasis will be laid on both quantitative as
well as qualitative analysis methods.

Candidates working on a MS or Ph.D. program in Electrical Engineering or
Computer Science may apply for this position. The successful candidate is
expected to have a good understanding of computer architecture, pipelines,
and cache architectures. Knowledge of MIPS architecture, C/C++ and/or Perl
is a plus.

Simulation Technology Team

In the simulation team, candidates will be exposed to the development of the
simulation and modeling tools for MIPS processor cores and systems.  The
software that this team develops is used widely both within the company and
also by its licensees and partners during the architectural, design, and
verification phases for processors and systems.

The job will include developing and supporting software to model processor
functionality, support industry-standard bus interfaces, and implement APIs
to support 3rd-party embedded-system development tools.
 
Candidates pursuing a BS, MS or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or Computer
Science may apply for this position. The successful candidate is expected to
have experience developing software in C++, familiar with object-oriented
programming, and possess a basic understanding of modern computer processor
architecture and memory system hierarchy.
