TL;DR · SoC DFT Engineer

As an SoC DFT Engineer within the Silicon Technologies group, you will contribute to the design and manufacture of high-performance, power-efficient system-on-chip processors. You will be responsible for the complete DFT solution, which includes developing and implementing DFT architecture and infrastructure while collaborating with the design verification team to verify implementations and execute ECOs. Your daily work involves generating structural test vectors, improving coverage, and addressing STA, physical, power, and logical issues alongside designers. You will also coordinate with test engineers to bring up test vectors on silicon. Required skills include proficiency in Verilog or VHDL, experience with simulators, waveform debugging tools, and scripting for ATE data. Technical expertise is required in ATPG, JTAG, MBIST, and managing trade-offs between test quality and time within the semiconductor design space.

What you'll do

  • Develop and implement DFT architecture and infrastructure for SoC designs.
  • Verify DFT implementations and execute ECOs in coordination with the DV team.
  • Generate structural test vectors and analyze results to improve coverage.
  • Resolve STA, physical, power, and logical issues in collaboration with designers.
  • Coordinate with test engineers to bring up test vectors on silicon.
  • Debug Compressed ATPG patterns, MBIST, and JTAG/1500 related issues.
  • Develop STA constraints for DFT modes and perform SDF simulations.
  • Analyze ATE data using scripting to support efficient silicon debug experiments.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science degree required.
  • Knowledge of industrial standards and practices in DFT, including ATPG, JTAG, MBIST, and trade-offs between test quality and time (preferred).
  • Experience developing DFT specifications and driving DFT architecture and methods for designs (preferred).
  • Knowledge of Verilog and/or VHDL, along with experience using simulators and waveform debugging tools (preferred).
  • Knowledge of industry standards for DFT and design tools (preferred).
  • Proven understanding of design verification methodologies for validating DFT implementation in simulation pre-silicon (preferred).
  • Experience debugging Compressed ATPG patterns, MBIST, and JTAG/1500 related issues (preferred).
  • Experience with STA constraints development and analysis for DFT modes and SDF simulations (preferred).
