Job Description
Introduction
ASML develops some of the worlds most advanced lithography systems relying heavily on complex embedded systems that integrate custom hardware (HDL) and firmware. To improve early-stage verification and reduce reliance on physical prototypes ASML has developed a co-verification framework that connectsQEMU(software simulation) andQuesta Sim(hardware simulation) via a customInter-Process Communication (IPC)layer.
Building on a successful proof-of-concept this internship will focus onextending the IPC frameworkandapplying it to a real-world SoC-based pilot project.
As an intern youll gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge co-verification techniques work on real-world embedded systems at scale and receive mentorship from experienced engineers in a high-tech environment.
Your assignment
Extend the IPC Framework:
- Add support formultiple interruptsandshared memory.
- Refactor the IPC for modularity performance and maintainability.
- Improve synchronization and debugging capabilities.
Inter-Process Communication (IPC)is a mechanism that enables data exchange and synchronization between separate this context IPC bridges the software simulator (QEMU) and the hardware simulator (Questa Sim) allowing them to behave as a unified system under test.
Apply Co-Verification to a Complex SoC Project:
- Analyze the architecture of a selected SoC-based pilot project.
- Integrate the extended co-verification framework.
- Demonstrate early-stage verification of firmware-hardware interaction.
Deliverables
- A redesigned and extended IPC framework with documentation.
- A working co-verification setup for the selected SoC project.
- A technical report and/or presentation summarizing findings challenges and recommendations.
- A poster for a possible conference.
This is a master graduation (thesis) project for 3-5 days a week with a duration of 3-6 months. The start date of this internship is as soon as possible.
Your profile
To be a fit for this internship you preferably have:
Familiarity withembedded systemsHDL (VHDL/Verilog) andfirmware development.
Experience withQEMUQuesta Sim or similar simulation tools.
Knowledge ofC/CPython andinter-process communicationtechniques.
Strong debugging and system-level thinking skills.
Other requirements you need to meet
- You are enrolled at an educational institutefor the entire duration of the internship;
- You need to be located in the Netherlands to be perform your case you re currently living/studying outside of the Netherlands your CV/motivation letter includes the willingness to relocate.
- If you are a non-EU citizen studying in the Netherlands your university is willing to sign the documents relevant for doing an internship (i.e. Nuffic agreement).
This position requires access to controlled technology as defined in the United States Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. 730 et seq.). Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to access such controlled technology prior to beginning work. Business demands may require ASML to proceed with candidates who are immediately eligible to access controlled technology.
