About the role
This internship involves contributing to Design-for-Test (DFT) activities for complex System-on-Chip (SoC) developments, covering the complete test development flow from architecture definition to production test development.
What you'll do
- Understand the DFT architecture implemented within SoCs.
- Learn and use the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) environment dedicated to DFT activities.
- Develop test sequences to achieve optimal fault coverage.
- Perform simulation, analysis, and debugging of test sequences.
- Evaluate DFT methodologies and identify opportunities for flow improvements.
- Collaborate with design, verification, and implementation teams throughout the development cycle.
What you'll need
- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- Experience with RTL design and simulation using VHDL and/or Verilog.
- Good understanding of digital logic design and semiconductor fundamentals.
- Knowledge of Design-for-Test (DFT) concepts.
- Familiarity with scripting and programming languages such as Python, Perl, Tcl.
Nice to have
- Exposure to production testing.
