In this 6-month internship, you will experiment with open-source placement and routing tools. Your primary mission will be to develop a reproducible setup using containers that will be able to install multiple open-source tools, compile designs for a common architecture, and run them on a large benchmark set. You will be setting up the tools, implementing the benchmarking framework, and making recommendations based on your analysis. Along the way, you will gain a solid view of the state of the art in FPGA placement and routing, an excellent preparation for an R&D career, whether in industry or in academic research Key Responsibilities * Technical Survey: Review academic and community tools, and decide on the most promising tools to use, and the metrics to evaluate them (compilation success rate, compile time, wirelength, congestion, timing, ...). * Infrastructure setup: Implement a framework to automatically setup the tools, run them, and evaluate them. Use containerization to manage dependencies in a reproducible manner and implement a compatibility layer to read the benchmark data from all tools. * Benchmarking & Recommendations: Analyze the tools' capabilities. Make recommendations on which tools perform better according to the metrics you defined, what their strengths and limitations are, and what improvements are possible. * Documentation & Delivery: Package the benchmarking framework into a reproducible framework, with documentation to install and run. Write a final technical report detailing your findings and recommendations. This 6-month internship is based in Meudon (Paris area, France) and starts from February 2027., You will grow through real projects, strong technical peers, and global mobility, backed by the scale and benefits of an industrial software leader. We're committed to equality and inclusion, and we hire based on merit, skills, and impact. Bring your curiosity and creativity and help us shape tomorrow! Diversity & Inclusion We value equal opportunities and welcome applications from all talented individuals. At Siemens, we believe people who've had real experiences dealing with being different will excel as leaders. Let's foster a culture of creativity and innovation. We are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, sex, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. Internship stipend This Strategic Student Program internship offers a gross monthly stipend of 1,200€ plus meal vouchers. Additional benefits include access to the Siemens Learning Hub, professional development opportunities, and mentorship from experienced professionals.
