What you'll do:

• Be a senior member of Alphawave central DFT methodology group responsible for developing flows across all company departments and projects
• Architect methodologies and flows for an integrated, RTL-centric "shift left" DFT environment across company IPs, chiplets and SoC designs.
• Develop automated verification test bench and sequence creation for DFT IP. Architecting end-2-end verification solutions from static design checks, through formal and sequence-based verification.
• Build IP/block and SoC level scan insertion flows and script ATPG retargeting procedures. Creating automated QoR checks for implementation quality control.
• Write static timing constraints, create waivers, and devise flows for bullet proof timing checks
• Hiring, training and leading DFT engineers in daily tasks and activities to fulfill company road map.
• You will report to head of Central DFT Team.
• Mentor DFT engineers through out the project life cycle.

What you'll need:

• Engineer with proven technical and people management skills
• Collaborative team player, and out of the box mindset
• Good understanding in Verilog/VHDL and System Verilog
• Exposure with CAD and automation. Good exposure for using Perl techniques in creating generic codes. Knowledge of TCL and Python.
• Extensively 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) and CoWoS (Chip-On-Wafer-On-Substrate) designs.
• Experience in SoC and IP/Block level scan insertion and ATPG, simulation of zero delay and SDF annotated test sequences.
• Experience in scripting/reviewing SCAN/MBIST timing constraints.
• Developing DFT rule bases and DFT-DRC checks with spyglass are valuable additions.

Good to have:

• Bachelor's degree in engineering science, Electrical and Computer Engineering or Computer Science
• 7+ years of experience in complex SoC designs in RTL, DFT or FE capacity. Candidates with less experience may be considered for other senior technical roles.
• Vast experience to various DFT EDA tools from Tessent, SNPS and Cadence
• Experience in core wrapping, pattern retargeting & packetizing ATPG techniques. SSN knowledge.
