Keysight is looking for a highly motivated FPGA / RTL Design Intern (VHDL / Verilog / SystemVerilog) to join our engineering team and contribute to the development of high-performance FPGA-based systems.
This role is ideal for candidates passionate about low-level hardware design, working close to silicon, and building real digital systems used in advanced test and measurement solutions.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement RTL for FPGA-based systems using VHDL, Verilog or SystemVerilog
- Develop and execute testbenches for functional verification
- Work with FPGA toolchains (Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus) from synthesis to implementation
- Integrate, debug and validate designs on real FPGA hardware (e.g. Zynq, RFSoC or similar platforms)
- Analyze and optimize designs for timing closure, latency and resource utilization
- Collaborate with engineers on signal processing, high-speed interfaces and system integration
Qualifications
- Currently pursuing a degree or master’s in digital electronic, Electrical Engineering or a related field
- Hands-on experience with FPGA development
- Experience writing RTL (VHDL, Verilog or SystemVerilog)
- Experience with simulation and testbench environments (ModelSim, QuestaSim or similar Simulators)
- Familiarity with FPGA tools such as Vivado or similar
- Experience implementing and validating designs on real FPGA hardware
Candidates must be able to demonstrate at least one end-to-end FPGA project beyond coursework
(design → simulation → implementation → validation)
Nice to have:
- Knowledge of AXI / AXI4 / AXI-Stream interfaces
- Experience with SoC FPGA platforms (Zynq, RFSoC)
- Background in signal processing, DSP or RF systems
- Experience with timing closure and optimization
- Programing languages: Python, C++
- Hands on experience working in HW set-up and debugging
Additional information:
This role does not offer visa sponsorship. Candidates must have the right to work in Spain at the time of application.
