The company applies its underlying Intelligent System Design strategy to deliver software, hardware and IP that turn design concepts into reality.\nCadence customers are the world’s most innovative companies, delivering extraordinary electronic products from chips to boards to systems for the most dynamic market applications including consumer, hyperscale computing, 5G communications, automotive, aerospace industrial and health.\nLocation: Cadence Design Systems, Sophia Antipolis, France\nDuration: 6 months\nProfile: Final-year engineering student\nAbout the Internship\nModern semiconductor testing generates large amounts of data. Turning this data into meaningful engineering insights quickly is becoming increasingly important.\nDuring this internship, you will join the ATE Test team and explore how Artificial Intelligence, machine learning and advanced data analytics can help engineers understand silicon behaviour, identify failure patterns and extract useful information from semiconductor test results.\nYou do not need to be an AI or semiconductor test expert to apply. We are looking for someone who enjoys working with data, solving technical problems and finding patterns that can help engineers make better and faster decisions.\nYou will work alongside experienced test engineers and apply software and data-analysis techniques to real silicon test results.\nWhat You Will Do\nAnalyse semiconductor test results and engineering datasets.\nExplore AI and machine-learning techniques for automatically identifying patterns, anomalies and correlations in test data.\nInvestigate clustering and classification approaches for silicon failures.\nDevelop Python tools to automate test data processing and analysis.\nExplore automated analysis of characterisation data such as voltage, frequency and operating-condition sweeps.\nInvestigate ways of correlating results across test conditions and silicon samples.\nDevelop visualisations and summaries that make complex engineering results easier to understand.\nExplore how AI can assist engineers in moving from raw test data towards potential root causes and actionable insights.\nCollaborate with test engineers to evaluate solutions on real use cases.\nExpected Deliverables\nBy the end of the internship, you will:\nDevelop an automated data-analysis workflow for semiconductor test results.\nDemonstrate at least one AI or machine-learning technique applied to real test data.\nDevelop meaningful visualisations or automated engineering summaries.\nEvaluate the ability of the solution to identify relevant patterns or anomalies.\nDocument the approach, results and recommendations.\nPresent your work to the engineering team.\nSuccess Criteria\nSuccess will be measured by the solution's ability to provide value in one or more of the following areas:\nFaster processing and interpretation of test results.\nAutomatic identification of patterns, outliers or failure signatures.\nImproved correlation between different test results or operating conditions.\nReduced manual effort in engineering data analysis.\nImproved visualisation and accessibility of silicon test information.\nFaster identification of areas requiring engineering investigation.\nPreferred Qualifications\nEngineering or scientific background in electronics, microelectronics, computer science, data science or a related field.\nBasic Python programming skills.\nInterest in Artificial Intelligence, machine learning and data analytics.\nComfortable working with numerical data.\nAnalytical mindset and strong problem-solving skills.\nCuriosity and willingness to learn about semiconductor testing.\nNice to Have\nExperience with Python data-analysis libraries.\nExposure to machine learning or statistical analysis.\nKnowledge of semiconductor devices, digital electronics or memories.\nExperience with data visualisation.\nInterest in silicon characterisation, validation or production testing.\nWhat Matters Most\nWe are looking for curiosity and the ability to connect data with engineering problems. You do not need to arrive with deep knowledge of semiconductor testing. You will learn the test context while applying your software, data-analysis and AI skills to real engineering challenges.\nThis internship provides an opportunity to work at the intersection of semiconductor testing, data analytics and Artificial Intelligence, helping explore new ways of turning large volumes of silicon test data into useful engineering insights.\nWe’re doing work that matters. Help us solve what others can’t.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4837,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"France","iso":"FR","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["EDA Software","Semiconductor IP & Chip Design Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-20T09:18:48Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":57,"reasons":["conf:47","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:junior,brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-24T06:02:35Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cadence-design-systems-intern-ai-for-silicon-test-data-analytics-failure-analysis","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cadence-design-systems-intern-ai-for-silicon-test-data-analytics-failure-analysis.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-25T01:46:37Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2700,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-26T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4351},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4351"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcadence-design-systems-intern-ai-for-silicon-test-data-analytics-failure-analysis"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcadence-design-systems-intern-ai-for-silicon-test-data-analytics-failure-analysis"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcadence-design-systems-intern-ai-for-silicon-test-data-analytics-failure-analysis"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/cadence-design-systems-intern-ai-for-silicon-test-data-analytics-failure-analysis\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcadence-design-systems-intern-ai-for-silicon-test-data-analytics-failure-analysis"}]}
