Senior Lead Design for Testability (DFT) Engineer

Experience & Qualifications:

• BS/MS/PhD in EE/ECE/CE/CS with at least 5 years of industry experience in advanced DFx techniques.
• Experience with industry standard ATPG and DFx insertion CAD tools.
• Familiarity with SystemVerilog and UVM.
• Fluent in RTL coding for DFx logic including lock-up latches, clock gates, and scan anchors.
• Understanding of low-power design flows such as power gating, multi-Vt and voltage scaling.
• Good understanding of high-performance, low-power design fundamentals.
• Knowledge of fault models including Stuck-at, Transition, Gate-Exhaustive, Path Delay, IDDQ, and Cell Aware.
• Exposure to post-silicon testing and tester pattern debug are major assets.
• Experience with Fault Campaigns a plus.
• Strong problem solving and debug skills across various levels of design hierarchies.

Responsibilities:

• Implementation of DFT features into RTL using verilog.
• Understanding of DFT Architectures and micro-architectures.
• ATPG and test coverage analysis using industry standard tools.
• JTAG, Scan Compression, and ASST implementation.
• Gate level simulation using Synopsys VCS and Verdi.
• Support silicon bring-up and debug.
• MBIST planning, implementation, and verification.
• Support Test Engineering on planning, patterns, and debug.
• Develop efficient DFx flows and methodology compatible with front end and physical design flows.
