Full Job Description
At d-Matrix, we are focused on unleashing the potential of generative AI to power the transformation of technology. We are at the forefront of software and hardware innovation, pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Our culture is one of respect and collaboration. We value humility and believe in direct communication. Our team is inclusive, and our differing perspectives allow for better solutions. We are seeking individuals passionate about tackling challenges and are driven by execution. Ready to come find your playground? Together, we can help shape the endless possibilities of AI. ASIC Functional Test (AFT) Engineering Intern As an ASIC Functional Test (AFT) Engineering Intern, you will join our Hardware Ops team to develop, automate, and execute system-level functional tests on d-Matrix’s Corsair and next-generation silicon. AFT is our board-level test discipline: a single ASIC is seated in a socket on a custom Validation Board (EVB) equipped with thermal control heads, programmable power delivery, sideband control interfaces, and high-speed I/O stimulus—giving you full observability and controllability of the device under test. Your primary mission: build and extend the Python-based automation infrastructure that orchestrates AFT test sequences, controls sideband interfaces, manages thermal profiles, collects data, and generates pass/fail verdicts—turning what would be manual bench work into repeatable, scalable, production-grade test flows. WHAT YOU’LL DO AFT AUTOMATION & PYTHON SCRIPTING • Develop and extend Python-based test automation frameworks that orchestrate end-to-end AFT sequences on the EVB—from power-on initialization through functional test execution to data logging and verdict generation. • Write / Modify control scripts for sideband interfaces (I²C, SPI, JTAG, UART, GPIO) to configure device registers, apply stimulus, toggle modes, and read back status during test. • Automate thermal profiling workflows: script the temperature control hea
