Internships at D. E. Shaw Research - Hardware Design and Verification

D. E. Shaw Research seeks hardware engineers to join our New York–based team as summer interns. Roles are available for applicants of varied backgrounds and experience levels, from rising sophomores in college to graduate students. Successful candidates will have impressive records of academic achievement with backgrounds including but not limited to electrical or computer engineering, computer science, systems architecture, chip design and verification, VLSI design, or parallel computing. Some programming experience in Python and/or C++ is preferred.
 
D. E. Shaw Research develops and uses advanced computational technologies to understand the behavior of biologically and pharmaceutically significant molecules at an atomic level of detail, and to design precisely targeted, highly selective drugs for the treatment of various diseases. We are developing multiple generations of the ANTON® supercomputer, a fully custom, massively parallel machine which executes molecular dynamics simulations orders of magnitude faster than was previously possible. We design and verify our own ASICs to run on ANTON®, and we are developing large, high-performance designs in advanced process technologies.
 
Interns spend 12-15 weeks working closely with members of our hardware team on a substantial engineering project. Past interns have contributed to projects such as designing modules on our node boards, design verification of our ASICs, and developing pipelines and tools for the chip design and verification processes. Throughout the summer, interns are invited to participate in a seminar series led by members of our technical team and in lively social programming. We provide our interns with above-market compensation and a generous housing allowance.
