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.
