By converting physical signals - heartbeats, sounds, light waves - into data, we enable robots, cars and other devices to interact with people and improve our world. What drives CSA is a relentless desire to contribute to technology and have a meaningful impact on the world. This business thrives on solving complex problems and partnering with global leaders at the forefront of technological advancement. Our goal: to push the boundaries of sensor technology and empower innovators to make the world smarter, healthier and happier.
POSITION OVERVIEW
We are seeking a highly motivated Design Verification (DV) Intern for a summer internship to work with our R&D team on mixed‑signal ASIC design and verification projects. This role provides hands‑on exposure to real silicon development, allowing interns to contribute to both design exploration and verification activities under the guidance of experienced engineers.
The internship is ideal for students interested in ASIC design verification, digital/mixed‑signal systems, and advanced semiconductor technologies.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Support design and verification activities for mixed‑signal ASICs
- Assist in developing and executing verification testbenches, simulations, and debug
- Learn and apply ASIC verification methodologies and industry‑standard tools
- Contribute to scripting and automation for verification flows (e.g., test execution, data analysis)
- Review design specifications and collaborate with design and verification engineers
- Document results and present findings to the team
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Junior or later, currently enrolled in a 4‑year Bachelor’s program in:
- Electrical Engineering
- Computer Engineering
- Computer Science (with strong hardware interest)
- Interest in ASIC design and verification
- Strong willingness to learn new technologies, tools, and methodologies
- Basic programming or scripting knowledge (e.g., Python, Perl, Tcl, Shell, or similar)
- Good problem‑solving skills and attention to detail
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Exposure to digital logic design, computer architecture, or VLSI concepts
- Familiarity with HDLs (SystemVerilog, Verilog, or VHDL)
- Interest in mixed‑signal systems, sensors, or SoC design
- Experience with scripting for automation or data processing
- Prior coursework or projects related to verification, simulation, or hardware design

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as a Design Verification
Align your degree to the engineering category
TN approval for Design Verification hinges on your degree matching an engineering discipline. A computer science or electrical engineering degree works. A general physics or math degree may trigger extra scrutiny at the port of entry or consulate.
Request a support letter that ties your role to a specific engineering function
Your employer's TN support letter must describe your Design Verification duties in engineering terms: functional simulation, hardware validation, timing analysis. Generic job offer letters get questioned at the border far more often than role-specific ones.
Use Migrate Mate to filter jobs by TN sponsorship willingness
Searching broadly wastes time on employers who won't sponsor. Migrate Mate lets you filter Design Verification roles by confirmed TN sponsorship, so you're targeting companies that have already committed to the process before you apply.
Prepare for port-of-entry questions on your verification methodology
Canadian citizens apply at the border, where CBP officers may ask how your role differs from a technician's. Be ready to explain your degree-level responsibilities: writing test plans, RTL coverage analysis, or formal verification, not just running tests.
Negotiate your start date around TN processing, not just the offer
Mexican citizens need a consular appointment, which can take several weeks to schedule. Build that window into your offer negotiation. A start date set two weeks from signing often isn't realistic if your consulate has a backlog.
Design Verification jobs are hiring across the US. Find yours.
Find Design Verification JobsDesign Verification TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does Design Verification qualify for TN visa status?
Yes, provided your role is framed within an engineering specialty. USCIS and CBP recognize Design Verification engineers under the Engineer category when the position requires a degree in electrical, computer, systems, or a directly related engineering field. Roles described in general terms or tied to non-engineering degrees face higher denial rates.
How does TN compare to H-1B for Design Verification engineers?
TN has no annual lottery and no cap for Canadians, so you can start working as soon as you're approved rather than waiting up to a year for an H-1B slot. The tradeoff is that TN requires a specific engineering degree match and a qualifying USMCA nationality. For Canadian and Mexican Design Verification engineers who meet those conditions, TN is typically faster to obtain and easier to renew.
Where can I find Design Verification jobs that explicitly offer TN sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for USMCA professionals and lets you search Design Verification roles filtered by TN visa sponsorship. Most general job boards don't distinguish between H-1B and TN sponsorship, so you often can't tell whether an employer will support your status until late in the process.
Can I switch to a new Design Verification employer while on TN status?
Yes, but you need new TN authorization tied to the new employer before you start. Canadian citizens can go directly to a port of entry with a new support letter and job offer. Mexican citizens must schedule a new consular appointment. There's no grace period to work for a new employer under your existing TN, so timing your transition matters.
What documents does my employer need to prepare for my TN application?
Your employer needs to provide a detailed support letter on company letterhead that names the position, describes the engineering duties specific to Design Verification, states the degree requirement, confirms your Canadian or Mexican citizenship, and identifies your anticipated length of employment. CBP or the consulate will also want to see your degree credential and, for Mexican applicants, evidence filed with the consulate through the standard DS-160 process.
