I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Astera Labs (San Jose, CA) in Sept 2025
Interview
I had a 1-on-1 interview with the head of the DFT team. We mainly chatted about my past project and what I know about DFT. He really dove deep into my past internship projects to understand what I really know about this field.

Interview
First two rounds went great. I was asked about mbist, atpg, scan, jtag, fault models etc. The last round was horrible. The interviewer didn’t have their camera on and cut the interview a half hour short. Also didn’t give me a real chance and ask anything DFT related.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given this circuit what tests do you need to test different stuck at faults?
