Intern - Firesim Development at SiFive in Berkeley, CA

Summary: SiFive is a pioneer in RISC-V technology, transforming the future of compute. The role involves joining the FireSim team to develop FPGA-based hardware emulation tools, working on both emulator hardware and runtime software to enhance the verification and validation of RISC-V processor IP. Responsibilities: - Report to the FireSim team in Berkeley, three days a week - Core technical responsibilities include subset of: - Developing compiler passes in our CIRCT-based emulation compiler - Designing new emulator features using both Chisel and C++ - Add robust tests for newly designed features - Help maintain CI / CD systems related to their subsystem - Help rollout new agentic processes to augment emulator subsystems, where appropriate Required Qualifications: - Be enrolled in a Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD program in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering - Exposure to RTL design, using Chisel or Verilog - Exposure to design for FPGA - experience writing performance-optimized C or C++ code - experience developing within LLVM, or CIRCT projects - Strong communication and interpersonal skills and a desire to develop them that matches their desire to do technical work Preferred Qualifications: - A combination of both hardware and software experience would be ideal Required Skills: RTL design, Chisel, Verilog, FPGA design, C programming, C++ programming, LLVM development, CIRCT development Benefits: Healthcare and retirement plans, Paid time off, Comprehensive, competitive benefits package
