Qualcomm FY25 Intern - HW/SW Architectures Advanced 

France, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Valbonne 

984679776

Job Area:

Interns Group, Interns Group > Interim Intern

The goal of the internship is to implement advanced cryptographic primitives on innovative HW/SW platforms. A first step is to review the literature on the chosen algorithm. The next phase involves developing a secure and efficient implementation.

Implementation security is vital, as even robust algorithms can be compromised if not implemented securely. The aim of this internship is to work on such implementations, on innovative HW/SW platforms, composed of CPU cores and HW accelerators, and to optimize them according to various criteria, but also secure them against diverse attackers.

Successful candidates will have a unique opportunity to work on high-level modelling of HW/SW platforms using the Python language, writing secure firmware in C or assembly and build prototypes on FPGAs using VHDL or Verilog hardware description languages.

Required qualifications:

• Pursuing MS/PhD or engineering program in Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related fields,

• Knowledge in Cryptography.

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience in Cryptography,

• Embedded software development experience,

• CPU architecture,

• Knowledge in SoC/IP designs, RTL Coding and Validation using High-level tools,

• FPGA or Virtual Platform prototyping,

• Excellent problem solving, self-driven and able to work with minimum supervision,

• Proficiency in one or more developer skills: C, Verilog, System Verilog, Cadence, Synopsys (DC, PTSI, CDC), Mentor Graphic, Matlab, C, Perl Programming, Python.

*References to a particular number of years experience are for indicative purposes only. Applications from candidates with equivalent experience will be considered, provided that the candidate can demonstrate an ability to fulfill the principal duties of the role and possesses the required competencies.
