Senior DFT (Design-for-Test) Engineer

Purpose Of The Job

Are you in search for a new challenge? Are you equipped with forward looking spirit and experienced in digital design flows and tools? Design-for-Test (DFT) is a multi-disciplinary field of growing complexity which involves cooperation among multiple VLSI engineering skills, including design, architecture, verification, backend, timing, test, ATE and reliability and more.

Main Tasks And Responsibilities

DfT implementation inline with existing test methodology for advance process nodes;

Perform top and/or block-level DFT insertion: scan compression, (i)JTAG, ATPG, patterns validation/simulation, MBIST/LBIST;

Closely work with physical design team to resolve timing constraints/issues;

Verify DFT circuitry and interface with other components/IPs and debug timing simulation issues;

Debug and improve important DfT KPIs: test coverage/pattern efficiency;

Hierarchical retargeting;

Silicon bring-up, diagnosis and support for physical failure analysis

Education, Skills And Experience

MUST HAVE:

6+ (desirable) years of hands-on experience with DFT and test flows with commercial EDA tools for large and complex SOCs;

Strong fundamental knowledge of DFT techniques including JTAG, ATPG, yield learning, logic diagnosis, Scan compression, IEEE 1500 Std. and MBIST/LBIST;

Experience with one of the main EDAs providers: Synopsys DFT Complier, Tetramax, VCS, Tessent and Modus/Encounter tool suite;

Experience in RTL simulation, synthesis, Linting, CDC and RDC checks, STA, DFT, quality metrics is a plus;

Hands-on in Perl/Tcl/Python scripting;

Excellent analytical, and problem-solving skills
