DFT Engineer

Job Type: Full Time

Job Location: Bangalore

Experience: 6-12 years

Notice period: 0-30 days

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

The DFT Engineer is responsible for Hardware Design-For-Test (DFT) activities for high-performance chip designs to enable efficient high-coverage Test. This includes scan-based logic test, memory test and repair, boundary scan, and high-speed interface testing. The engineer will develop appropriate DFT methodology and flows, and work with the front-end design team to integrate and flush new DFT features & methodologies into the design and document the DFT architecture. The engineer will work on Industry-standard tools for DFT implementation, Pattern generation, Simulation and verification of the DFT features. The engineer will interface with the back-end team on timing, physical design and with the PDTE team on ATE pattern delivery & ATE silicon bring up.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Bachelor's/Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent practical experience 8-15 years of experience in DFT/DFD flows and methodologies.
• Experience with DFT/DFD/DFM technique.
• Well-versed in scan insertion, ATPG, MBIST, JTAG, Scan Compression and at-speed test.
• Strong fundamental knowledge of various Test standards (IEEE 1149.10, 1149.6, 1500, 1687) and test formats (BSDL, ICL, PDL, STIL, CTL)
• Extensive experience with industry standard simulation, ATPG and MBIST tools
• Knowledge of defect types, fault models and low power design methodologies
• Knowledge of timing constraints and STA for test modes
• Experience in DFT related verification and GLS,, SDF simulations
• 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 DFT pattern delivery, silicon bring-up, debug and validation fo DFT features on ATE.
• Experience with scripting languages like Python, Perl, skill, tcl or equivalent to automate flows is a plus.
• Willingness to learn new skills and apply new technologies.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate in a global team is essential.
• Self-motivated, ability to work independently and excel in a team environment
