Broadcom’s CSG division is seeking candidates for a Staff DFT engineer position. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing and implementing DFx (Design for Test/debug & manufacturability) solutions for Digital, mixed signal IPs. Candidate will also drive/push state of the art in the areas of testability, debug to enable low DPPM DFx solutions while optimizing the cost for test.

Responsibilities

• Own IP DFT architecture, implementation, verification, signoff STA constraints for DFT

• Optimize DFT architecture for test cost, test power and physical design constraints

• Deliver optimal retargetable ATPG patterns for usage across business units

• Collaborate with front-end and backend engineers to implement optimal DFx solutions

• Support chip teams on IP DFT integration, pattern verification and ATE bring-up

• Participate in silicon bring-up, characterization, and yield recovery

Requirements

• Knowledge of Testability techniques and features (SCAN, Built-in-Self-Tests, boundary scan.) covering digital logic, embedded memories and Serdes PHY/IO’s

• Scan architectural trade-off, coverage analysis, ATPG pattern generation and verification

• Experience in implementation of MBIST for memories and knowledge of repair schemes, algorithms

• Well versed in JTAG standards (1149.1 and 1149.6, 1687) and boundary scan

• Strong Pre/Post Silicon debugging, analytical and independent problem solving ability

• Strong knowledge of digital design and logical equivalence checking

• Experience with Gate level simulations and debug with industry simulator tools

• Experience in developing STA constraints for DFT logic/modes and working knowledge of primetime

• Post silicon experience on pattern bring-up, debug and silicon characterization etc

• Working knowledge of TCL, perl and shell scripting

• Hands on experience with Mentor/Siemens DFT Tessent tool suite for DFT insertion is desirable

• Working knowledge of SERDES, Analog /mixed-signal DFT solutions (like IOBIST, AC boundary scan) is a plus

• Must be a team player with good verbal and written communication skills.

• Must be a self-driven engineer with good planning and organizing skills to deliver high quality output in a timely manner. 

• Experience : Bachelor's in Electrical or Computer Science Engineering required with a minimum of 8+ years of relevant industry experience or a Master’s Degree with a minimum of 6+ years of relevant industry experience
