TL;DR · ASIC DFT Technical Leader

As an ASIC DFT Technical Leader within the Silicon One development organization, you will join the Common Hardware Group to craft next-generation networking chips. You will collaborate with front-end RTL and backend physical design teams to understand chip architecture and drive DFT requirements early in the design cycle. Your daily responsibilities include leading the DFT and quality process through the implementation flow and post-silicon validation phases, including physical design signoff activities. You will utilize technologies such as Jtag protocols, Scan and BIST architectures, ATPG, and EDA tools including TestMax, Tetramax, Tessent, and PrimeTime. Required skills include Verilog design, gate-level simulation using VCS, and post-silicon debug with ATE patterns and P1687. You will also perform logic equivalency checking and validate test-timing.

What you'll do

  • Drive DFT requirements early in the design cycle by working with front-end RTL and backend physical design teams.
  • Lead the DFT and quality process through the entire implementation flow.
  • Manage post-silicon validation phases and debug hardware issues.
  • Perform physical design signoff activities for next-generation networking chips.
  • Develop custom DFT logic and integrate IP using Verilog.
  • Execute test architecture, methodology, and infrastructure development.
  • Conduct gate-level simulation and debugging using VCS or other simulators.
  • Validate test-timing and perform logic equivalency checking using SystemVerilog.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering required.
  • At least 10 years of experience in the field.
  • Experience in DFT, test, and silicon engineering trends.
  • Experience with Jtag protocols, Scan, and BIST architectures including memory BIST and boundary scan.
  • Experience with ATPG and EDA tools such as TestMax, Tetramax, Tessent, and PrimeTime.
  • Experience with Gate level simulation and debugging using VCS or other simulators.
  • Post-silicon validation and debug experience with ATE patterns and P1687.
  • Verilog design experience for custom DFT logic and IP integration (preferred).
