Pros

I interned in San Jose, USA, as an ASIC DFT Intern from June to August 2024. My mentor, team leader, and team members were super helpful throughout.

They provided hands-on guidance in MBIST memory validation and On-Chip Clock Controller (OCC) testing, helping me gain practical experience.

My mentor was incredibly patient, explaining complex DFT architectures in ASIC designs.

Cons

The internship was short (only three months), so there wasn't enough time to dive deeper into some advanced projects. Also, the workload could get intense during simulation debugging sessions, leading to occasional long hours.
