Description

We are looking for a talented and experienced DFT Tech Lead.

As a DFT Tech Lead you will work closely with all other design teams - backend, vlsi, verification and analog, fully responsible for defining, implementing, and deploying advanced design-for-test (DFT) methodologies for highly complex digital and mixed-signal chips. You will define silicon test strategies, DFT/DFD architecture, and create DFT and Debug specifications for complex next generation SoCs.

Requirements

Minimum qualifications:

  • 8+ Experience in DFT specification definition, architecture, insertion, and analysis in designs
  • Experience in silicon bring-up, debug, and validation of DFT features on ATE, debugging ATPG patterns, Compressed ATPG patterns, MBIST, and JTAG-related issues
  • Experience in fault modeling

Preferred qualifications:

  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering.
  • Experience in IP integration (memories, Test controllers, TAP, MBIST).
  • Experience using EDA Test tools like Design/Fusion Compiler, DFT Max, SpyGlass, Modus, Tessent, and TestKompress.
  • Experience and understanding of ASIC DFT, synthesis, simulation and verification flow.
  • Excellent attention to detail organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Responsibilities:

  • Create SoC DFT strategy and architecture (ATPG/DFT/MBIST)
  • Work on hierarchical design
  • Debug all Design Rule checks, apply design fixes to achieve high test quality
  • Insert all DFT logic - boundary scan, scan chains, DFT Compression, Logic BIST, TAP controller, Clock Control block, and other DFT IP blocks.
  • Insert and hook up MBIST logic.
  • Define test plan for special analog IPs and implement.
  • Document DFT architecture and test sequences, including boot-up sequence associated with test pins.
