Commitment Period: Jan 2027 onwards (Full-time Internship, min. 6 months)
Join our DFT IP Development team to design and verify digital built-in self-test (BIST) IP for mixed-signal ASICs. You will contribute to a defined engineering project with guidance from DFT, analog design and product test engineers.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop synthesizable SystemVerilog RTL for digital test control and result reporting.
- Build self-checking testbenches, run simulations and debug design and verification issues.
- Support interface definition, IP integration, lint, synthesis and clock-domain-crossing checks with your mentor.
- Investigate analog defect modeling and coverage using IEEE 2427, and evaluate improvements to test coverage and efficiency.
- Document design decisions and results, participate in technical reviews and present your findings to the team.
Required Qualifications:
- Pursuing a master’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, microelectronics or a related discipline.
- Coursework or project experience in digital logic design and simulation using Verilog or SystemVerilog.
- Understanding of state machines, clocks, resets and basic analog circuit concepts.
- Strong analytical skills and the ability to explain and document technical work clearly.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Exposure to ADCs, DACs, analog circuit simulation or mixed-signal modeling.
- Familiarity with SystemVerilog assertions, UVM or ASIC design tools.
- Experience with Python scripting or semiconductor test.
Mentorship and Learning:
- Weekly mentoring and design reviews, with feedback at the midpoint and end of the internship.
- Practical experience taking a DFT IP project from specification through RTL implementation, verification and technical evaluation.
Application Materials
- Submit your CV, academic transcript and a brief description of a digital design project. A code sample or project report is welcome.
