Job Description: DFT Engineer
Responsibilities
- The DFT engineer will collaborate with cross-functional teams to implement cutting-edge designs in test access mechanisms, IO BIST, memory BIST, and scan compression.
- They will partner with third-party IP vendors to integrate Memory BIST, scan, PHY I/O BIST, and other DFT logic into a streaming scan fabric with a sequential scan compressor/decompressor.
- They will collaborate with DFT Solutions Vendors to port patterns at the top level, implement the Memory BIST interface in high-performance processor IP, and implement high-speed I/O for logic scan tests.
- They will coordinate with Physical Designers to validate DFT timing constraints.
- They will work alongside RTL Designers to verify test design rules.
- They will team up with Test Engineers to bring up patterns on Automated Test Equipment (ATE).
- They will contribute to the development and deployment of DFT methodologies for next-generation products.
Qualifications
- MSEE or equivalent experience.
- 7+ years of experience in DFT or related domains.
- In-depth knowledge and expertise in defining scan test plans, BIST including memories and IOs, fault modeling, ATPG, and fault simulation.
- Excellent analytical skills in verification and validation of test patterns and logic on complex and multi-million gate designs using vendor tools.
- Good exposure to cross-functional areas including RTL and clocks design, STA, place-and-route, and power to ensure optimal trade-offs.
- Experience in silicon debug and bring-up on ATE, with an understanding of pattern formats, failure processing, and test program development.
- Strong programming and scripting skills in Perl, Python, or Tcl are desired.
- Exceptional written, oral, and interpersonal skills, along with the curiosity to tackle unique challenges.
