What is a DFT intern?

A DFT Intern is a student or entry-level professional who assists in the Design for Testability (DFT) process within semiconductor or hardware design teams. Their primary responsibilities include supporting the implementation and verification of DFT techniques such as scan insertion, boundary scan, and built-in self-test (BIST) in integrated circuits. DFT Interns work closely with design and verification engineers to ensure chips are testable and meet quality standards. The role is ideal for those studying electrical engineering or computer engineering with an interest in VLSI and hardware design.
