DFT Intern - Singapore
Originally posted 1 October 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role is for a Design for Test (DFT) Intern to join the SoC team, contributing to scan and MBIST implementation and verification. The position focuses on ultra-low power chips, offering hands-on experience with industry-standard DFT tools and methodologies.
What you'll do
- Support low power DFT implementation and verification for SoC designs
- Assist with scan insertion and scan chain verification for physical design modules
- Assist with MBIST insertion and verification for embedded memories
- Analyze DFT rule checking results and help resolve design and testability issues
- Support test coverage analysis and identify opportunities for coverage improvement
- Develop and maintain scripts (e.g., Tcl, Python, Shell) to automate recurring tasks
What you'll need
- Currently pursuing a B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
- Completed coursework in Digital logic design, VLSI design / ASIC design, or CMOS circuits
- Familiarity with Verilog, SystemVerilog or VHDL
- Familiarity with fundamental digital design concepts such as timing, clocking, reset, and pipelining
- Comfortable working in a Linux/UNIX environment
- Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills
Nice to have
- Experience with industry-standard EDA tools for scan insertion, ATPG, MBIST, memory repair, or embedded memory testing
- Basic understanding of DFT concepts such as scan, ATPG, MBIST, fault coverage, and memory repair
- Scripting experience in Tcl, Python, or Shell for flow automation
- Familiarity with fault models such as stuck-at, transition, bridging, memory faults
- Understanding of low power design concepts such as multiple power domains, retention, or clock gating
