Etched is building hardware for frontier intelligence. We co-design chips, racks, software, and manufacturing to deliver best-in-class throughput and latency across both prefill and decode workloads. Our first products are heavily focused on inference. Backed by hundreds of millions from top-tier investors and staffed by leading engineers, Etched is redefining the infrastructure layer for the fastest growing industry in history.

Job Summary

As a DFT Intern at Etched, you will help review and refine DFT flow automation to support chip-level regression on Caelius. You will work across frontend and backend design teams, contribute to DFT verification (including MBIST, Scan, BSCAN, and SSN simulations), and develop flows for various ATPG fault models. You do not necessarily need prior DFT experience; just the ability to learn quickly in a fast-paced, high-autonomy environment.

What you'd do

  • 12-week paid internship
  • Generous housing support for those relocating
  • Daily lunch and dinner in our office
  • Based at our office in San Jose, CA
  • Direct mentorship from industry leaders and world-class engineers
  • Opportunity to work on one of the most important problems of our time

What they want

  • Progress towards a Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field.
  • Familiarity with a hardware description language (Verilog or SystemVerilog)
  • Exposure to ASIC or SoC design concepts
  • Familiarity with digital logic design fundamentals
  • Familiarity with standard ASIC design flow steps (synthesis, STA, DFT)
  • Familiarity with scripting in Python, Tcl, or another language
  • Are able to learn quickly about transformers and other aspects of modern artificial intelligence
  • Knowledge of DFT concepts such as MBIST, scan insertion, and scan compression
  • Experience with Tessent or similar DFT tooling
  • Familiarity with ATPG fault models (SAF, TDF, BDF, IDDQ, PDF)
