About Advantest
Advantest is a global leader in Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) for the semiconductor industry.
Our solutions ensure the quality, reliability, and performance of semiconductor devices
powering today’s digital world — from automotive and artificial intelligence to
telecommunications and consumer electronics.
Internship Overview
This internship offers a unique opportunity to explore the often less visible but strategically
critical world of semiconductor testing, focusing on its strong connection with:
Design for Testability (DFT) – methodologies and architectural techniques that enable efficient and effective testing of integrated circuits
Test Program Software Development – creation, implementation, and optimization of test programs for ATE platforms
Hardware Interface Development – design of interface solutions (load boards, probe cards, custom interfaces) between test systems and Devices Under Test (DUT)
The internship provides exposure to the complete flow linking chip design to manufacturing
validation,
highlighting how design decisions directly impact test efficiency, production yield,
cost, and overall product quality.
Key Responsibilities
During the 6-month internship, the candidate will:
Study semiconductor test architectures for digital and/or mixed-signal devices
Gain understanding of core DFT concepts (scan chains, BIST, boundary scan, fault coverage, yield optimization)
Support development, debugging, and optimization of ATE test programs
Contribute to defining hardware interface specifications between tester and DUT
Analyze production test data (yield analysis, binning strategies, device characterization)
Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Design, Product Engineering, and Application Engineering
The intern will follow a structured training path under the mentorship of senior engineers, with
regular technical reviews and feedback sessions.
Learning Objectives
By the end of the internship, the candidate will have developed
