We are looking for bright, energetic, motivated students to join Qualcomm’s Canada 2026 intern class!  

  

At Qualcomm Canada, our Compute DSP/AI Processor team is looking for ASIC design and verification engineering interns interested in developing world-class machine learning technologies to transform industries and enrich lives. Under the supervision of an experienced engineer, the intern will contribute to design, verification, and modelling of ASIC HW IP (blocks) and sub-systems that may be used in machine learning end user applications. No background of any application space, such as AI or ML, is required. Through hands-on experience, you will learn a wide range of hardware design and verification techniques that transcend end user application. 

  

By applying here, you are expressing interest in one of our many 2026 Qualcomm AI & Machine Learning Hardware Engineering internships. It is important to note that this is not a job posting for a specific role. We will review resumes on an ongoing basis, and a recruiter may reach out to you.  

  

Responsibilities may include:  

Implement modules in hardware design languages such as SystemVerilog and HLS C/C++/ SystemC Implement tests at both the module and sub-system levels using UVM and SystemVerilog Implement reference and bus-functional models using C++, SystemC, or Python Implement design/verification methodology and automation using Python, Perl, or TCL Implement and debug constraints to achieve netlist synthesis and static timing closure Make significant contributions to silicon debug and analysis Perform power analysis to identify/fix power bugs and contribute to power modelling/reporting

Step into many phases of ASIC development from specification -> microarchitecture -> RTL coding -> verification -> synthesis -> physical design -> post-silicon debug/correlation

Minimum Qualifications:   

Digital logic  Digital design  Verilog/VHDL  

One or more of the following qualifications will be an asset:  

Relevant academic or personal project experience  Relevant industry experience (internship, summer work, or others)  Computer and multimedia architecture knowledge (CPU, Bus interconnect, Audio, Display, Video, Camera, Graphics)  Knowledge of ASIC design and simulation tool sets (synthesis, simulator)  Knowledge of hardware description languages (Verilog/VHDL, HLS C/C++, SystemVerilog, SystemC)  Knowledge of verification methodology (UVM, assertions, coverage-driven constrained-random verification)  Knowledge of scripting languages (Python, Perl, TCL, Shell)  Strong problem-solving skills Excellent verbal, written, and presentation skills Ability to work effectively as part of a team in a fast-paced environment 

  

 Educational Requirements: 

In study towards a bachelor’s degree in one of the following: Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Engineering Science, Computer Science, or related field Eligible candidates must have a graduation date in December 2027 or later, including May or June 2028.For 16-month internships: must be available May 2026 - August 2027
