DFT Design Engineer

Responsibilities • Develops the logic design, register transfer level (RTL) coding, simulation, and provides DFT timing closure support as well as test content generation and delivery to manufacturing for various DFx content (including SCAN, MBIST, and BSCAN). • Participates and collaborates in the definition of architecture and microarchitecture features of the block, subsystem, and SoC under DFT being designed (including TAP, SCAN, MBIST, BSCAN, proc monitors, in system test/BIST). • Develops HVM content for rapid bring up and ramp to production on the automatic test equipment (ATE). • Applies various strategies, tools, and methods to write and generate RTL and structural code to integrate DFT. • Optimizes logic to qualify the design to meet power, performance, area, timing, test coverage, DPM, and test time/vector memory reduction goals as well as design integrity for physical implementation. • Reviews the verification plan and drives verification of the DFT design to achieve desired architecture and microarchitecture specifications. • Ensures design features are verified correctly and resolves and implements corrective measures for failing RTL tests to ensure correctness of features. • Integrates DFT blocks into functional IP and SoC and supports SoC customers to ensure high quality integration of the IP block. • Collaborates with post silicon and manufacturing team to verify the feature on silicon, support debug requirements, and document all learnings and improvements requirement in design and validation. • Drives high test coverage through structural and specific IP tests to achieve the quality and DPM objectives of the product and develops HVM content for rapid bring up and production on the ATE. Qualifications • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field with 7+ years of industry experience. • Expert knowledge in industry standard DFT solutions (e.g., Scan/ATPG, Memory BIST/BISR, Logic BIST, iJTAG etc.) • Experienced in defining DFT architecture and developing tools/flows/methods for DFT insertion and validation. • Experienced in DFT timings analysis and SDF-annotated GLS. • Experienced in supporting post-silicon validation and manufacturing test. • Experienced in mentoring teammates. • Knowledgeable in adjacent areas of the SoC development process (e.g. synthesis, static timing analysis, formal equivalence checking, etc.)
