What You'll Do

• Design and implement state-of-the-art DFT architecture to meet growing industry demands for efficient test and debug capabilities.
• Generate and Insert DFT structures at the RTL and gate levels, verifying the correct operation of those structures from RTL to back-annotated gates.
• Generate scan-inserted netlists, produce ATPG patterns to achieve coverage targets, and simulate them for correctness.
• Run timing analysis, review constraints and waivers, analyze violations, and work with other teams to fix the design.
• Produce ATE test patterns for MBIST, Scan, Functional & analog testing and support silico ATE testing and debug.
• Participate in diagnostics and failure analysis for customer returns.
• Mentor and lead a team of junior engineers to accomplish all the above tasks within the defined project constraints.

What you'll need:

• Bachelor's degree in engineering science, Electrical and Computer Engineering or Computer Science
• 8+ years of experience in complex SoC designs in RTL, DFT or FE capacity. Candidates with less experience may be considered
• Experience with various DFT EDA tools from Siemens, SNPS and Cadence
• Good knowledge and understanding in Verilog/VHDL and SystemVerilog
• Exposure to CAD and automation. Knowledge of TCL and Python is a plus.
• Experienced with main DFT standards such as JTAG (1149.1/1149.6/1500), iJTAG (1687) and BIST techniques (memory BIST, logic BIST, interconnect BISTs)
• Track record in integrating custom made DFT logic for complex SoCs (System-On-Chip) or CoWoS (Chip-On-Wafer-On-Substrate) designs is highly desirable.
• Experience in SoC and IP/Block level scan insertion and ATPG, simulation of zero delay and SDF annotated test sequences.
