12-Week FPGA Prototyping & Physical AI Intern

Lattice Semiconductor; George Town; On-site; MYR 13,000 - 20,000; Full time

Job summary

Lattice Semiconductor is seeking an FPGA Prototyping & Physical AI intern for its Robotics & Systems Engineering team in Penang. You will explore RTL design, SoC integration, and AI-on-FPGA across prototype platforms and reference designs that feed global customer engagements.

This 12-week placement targets final-year students in Electrical/Computer Engineering, with embedded C/C++ and RTL experience, and exposes you to hardware-software co-design, verification, and collaboration across teams.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated RTL design and verification; FPGA timing closure or resource analysis required.
• Embedded C/C++ with DMA/interrupts; SoC integration is a plus.
• Exposure to ML inference deployment or robotics control loops is a strong plus.

Responsibilities

• Design, integrate and validate RTL for prototype FPGA systems with soft-IP (PCIe, USB, AXI/APB).
• Develop hardware-software co-design flows for Physical AI workloads between host GPU and FPGA.
• Debug across full FPGA development cycle with testbenches, simulations, and board bring-up.
• Automate validation and bring-up with regression suites, CI, telemetry and test reporting.
• Create engineering collateral: reference designs, guides, app notes and demos for tradeshows.
• Utilise AI to improve workflows and interactions.
