Sigasi develops tools that make chip designers more productive. We offer a suite of integrated development environments (IDE) and a command line tool. Our tools focus on the two most widely used hardware description languages: VHDL and SystemVerilog.

We aim to make our products easy to use. We believe that customers should be productive in a matter of hours without even consulting the manual. To achieve this, we need customer feedback. Sadly, in the chip design industry, companies are rather secretive, and the communication between Sigasi and its customers often goes silent after purchasing.

As a solution, Sigasi hands out free licenses on the condition that the user enables “Talkback.” This allows our products to send back stack traces triggered by the user—so we can fix bugs—and usage information, which can be analyzed to better understand the user. This helps us prioritize feature development and indicates which workflows need to be improved.

In this internship, you will expand our product by enhancing a tool that helps us better understand user behavior to improve their experience and guide our development roadmap. You will:

make sure relevant user actions are recorded and sent back to us,
add Talkback messages from our command line tool,
enhance the existing messages with valid and consistent information,
enhance visualizations of the newly analyzed data, and
integrate user actions with the existing stack trace analysis to create a better understanding of what the user is doing before they encounter an issue.
You will join Sigasi’s code engineering team and participate in actual product development. You’ll be part of the daily scrum. Your code will be a first-class citizen, go through the standard review cycle, and eventually have a tangible impact on our product.

This internship takes place for at least 8 weeks in 2025, at the Sigasi office, near the fascinating city center of Ghent, Belgium. For more information about this internship proposal, e-mail careers@sigasi.com.
