TL;DR · Design for Test Engineer

The Design for Test Engineer joins a dynamic team at the heart of the chip design effort, collaborating across multiple disciplines within a vertical product model. This role involves owning all aspects of development for large SOC blocks, including internal and external IP integration, system bus and control bus logic design, and managing integration specifications. The engineer will perform synthesis, netlist generation, and timing closure while optimizing memories and hard macros. Key responsibilities include developing methodologies, flows, and checks to ensure high-quality delivery. Required skills and experience include ASIC design flow, RTL design for low power and area, FE synthesis with DFT insertion, CDC, Logical Equivalence, and UPF flow for power and voltage islands. The role focuses on solving complex hardware challenges to achieve first tapeout success for large, high-performance SOC designs.

What you'll do

  • Manage all aspects of design development for large SoC blocks including internal and external IP integration.
  • Design system bus and control bus logic to connect IP blocks to the main SoC infrastructure.
  • Own the Integration Specification for assigned design projects.
  • Integrate and optimize memories and hard macros required for specific blocks.
  • Execute synthesis, netlist generation, and timing closure for the block.
  • Develop and maintain methodologies, flows, and checks for the design process.
  • Implement UPF flows for power islands and voltage islands to manage low-power applications.
  • Ensure high-quality delivery by incorporating proper checks at every stage of the design process.

What we're looking for

  • BSEE/MSEE, MSCE, or PhD program.
  • Knowledge of ASIC design flow, FE and Design verification, synthesis, scripting, and netlist generation (preferred).
  • Proven track record of high performance designs for low power applications, RTL design, and timing closure on large complex designs (preferred).
  • SOC IP integration and RTL Design for performance, low area, and low power (preferred).
  • FE synthesis with DFT insertion (preferred).
  • ASIC design flow and netlist flow checks including CDC and Logical Equivalence (preferred).
  • UPF flow for power islands as well as voltage islands (preferred).
  • Familiarity with DFT and backend related methodology and tools (preferred).
