TL;DR · Design for Test Engineer

The Design for Test Engineer will join the hardware team to manage scan insertion and Automatic Pattern Generation during the DFT design development phase. The role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams including DV, Front-End, PD, and STA to solve hardware design issues and deliver configurations and scripts for RTL generation. Key responsibilities include debugging simulation and silicon failures, maintaining ATPG flows to achieve high stuck-at coverage, and creating infrastructure to improve the design cycle. The candidate must utilize Verilog for RTL, scripting languages like Python, Perl, or TCL, and various synthesis and ATPG tools. Technical tasks include managing scan codecs, ATPG isolation, and scan routing while ensuring compliance with power, physical, and logical specifications to resolve complex hardware design challenges throughout the development process.

What you'll do

  • Perform scan insertion and Automatic Pattern Generation (ATPG) during the DFT design development phase.
  • Deliver configurations and scripts to the Front-end team for use during RTL generation.
  • Debug and provide support to the Front-end team to ensure high-quality scan insertion during synthesis.
  • Maintain and improve ATPG flows to achieve high stuck-at coverage using ATPG tools.
  • Debug simulation and silicon failures by implementing RTL, script, or configuration changes.
  • Generate partition-level and top-level patterns to meet targeted coverage project specifications.
  • Create infrastructure to improve the design cycle and implement checks to catch RTL issues early.
  • Implement DFT infrastructure and work with the DV team to verify implementations and execute ECOs.

What we're looking for

  • Master’s degree or foreign equivalent in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
  • 2 years of experience in the job offered or a related occupation.
  • Experience using Verilog to write RTL for DFT IP.
  • Experience using RTL Design for DFT features such as scan codec, ATPG isolation, and scan routing.
  • Experience using scripting languages like Python, Perl, or TCL for automation of design flows, verification, synthesis, and modeling.
  • Experience using basic FE tools (CDC, RDC, Lint) with an understanding of clock and reset domains.
  • Experience using synthesis tools to set up constraints and configurations.
  • Experience using ATPG tools for Scan DRC and ATPG coverage analysis and improvement.
