TL;DR · ASIC DFT Engineer

Broadcom's ASIC Product Division is hiring a DFT Engineer at its Fort Collins, Colorado Development Center to work on various phases of SoC DFT activities including architecture, test insertion, pattern generation, coverage improvement, post-silicon debug, and yield enhancement. The role involves collaborating with Physical Design & STA teams for timing closure and requires proficiency in scripting languages such as TCL, PERL, RUBY, PYTHON, or C++. Key responsibilities include defining DFT specifications based on Broadcom and customer requirements, validating HBM and Die2Die IPs at the ASIC level, generating test vectors, debugging issues during silicon bring-up, and innovating solutions for advanced node challenges. Candidates should have experience with Logic BIST design, Verilog coding, IEE1687 standards, statistical process control, and ATE validation, along with strong problem-solving and communication skills.

What you'll do

  • Define DFT specifications to meet Broadcom and customer requirements.
  • Verify and validate HBM & Die2Die IP's at the ASIC level.
  • Generate, verify, and debug test vectors before tape release.
  • Validate and debug test vectors on ATE during silicon bring-up phase.
  • Assist with failure analysis and yield improvement efforts post-silicon.

What we're looking for

  • Extensive DFT architecture, test insertion, pattern generation, and coverage improvement expertise.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages (TCL, PERL, RUBY, PYTHON, C++) for automation tasks.
  • Logic BIST design and debug experience using TetraMax, Fastscan tools.
  • Strong background in IEE1687, IJTAG, ICL, PDL standards and statistical process control techniques.
  • Experience validating and debugging test vectors on ATE during silicon bring-up phase.
  • Ability to innovate DFT solutions for advanced nodes (3nm and beyond) and automate flows.
