## Responsibilities

  • You will create DFT specifications, create verification plans, and define the SoC test interface.
  • You will develop and implement the DFT architecture and own its integration into large SoC blocks — including IP integration, system and control bus connectivity, and the integration of memories and hard macros.
  • You will implement testbenches, generate directed and constrained-random tests, debug failures, run gate-level simulations, and close coverage.
  • You will also generate structural test vectors, run synthesis and timing closure and work closely with Chip Architecture, DV, Physical Design, and Power teams to achieve first-tapeout success.
  • Additional responsibilities include supporting STA, physical, power, and logical analysis for DFT modes, partnering with Test Engineers to bring up test vectors on silicon.

## Minimum Qualifications

  • B.Sc./M.Sc./PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • Solid knowledge of industry-standard DFT practices, including ATPG, JTAG, MBIST, and the trade-offs between test quality and test time.
  • Proficient in Verilog and/or VHDL, with hands-on experience using simulators and waveform debugging tools.
  • Experience developing DFT specifications and driving DFT architecture and methods for designs.
  • Proven understanding of design verification (DV) methodologies for validating DFT implementation in simulation pre-silicon.
  • Proficient in a scripting language such as Python, TCL, or Perl, including familiarity or proficiency in leveraging generative AI tools to accelerate scripting and engineering workflows.
  • Ability to fluently speak and write in English, including expressing complex technical concepts clearly.

## Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience developing DFT specifications and driving DFT architecture and methods for designs
  • Proven Understanding of design verification (DV) methodologies for validating DFT implementation in simulation pre-silicon
  • Experience debugging compressed ATPG patterns, MBIST, and JTAG/1500 related issues.
  • Experience with STA constraints development and analysis for DFT modes, as well as SDF simulations.
  • Ability to conduct experiments during silicon debug, gathering and analyzing data, and using scripting to support efficient handling of ATE data.
  • Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.
  • Experience in large SoC design or verification.
