Responsibilities

• Work with multi-disciplined and multi-site teams of DFT engineers, RTL, Physical Designer Engineers, SOC DFT and Product Engineering.
• Work on subsystem level DFT SCAN, Memory Built-In Self-Test (MBIST) Architecture with multiple voltage, power domains. 
• Develop tests that can be used for Production in the automated test equipment (ATE) flow, and write basic to complex scripts to automate the DFT flow.
• Drive scan implementation and verification, ensuring coverage are met across all fault models.
• Manage Gate-Level Simulation (GLS) verification, tape-out (TO) signoff, pattern delivery, and post-silicon bring-up and debug.

Qualifications

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  
• 8 years of experience with Design for Test (DFT).
• Experience with DFT EDA Tools (e.g., Tessent, Genus, Fusion Compiler (FC), Simvision, etc).
• Experience with one more more of the following: Scan insertion, Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG), Gate Level Simulations and Silicon Debug, Low Power designs, Built-In Self-Test (BIST), Joint Test Action Group (JTAG), and Internal Joint Test Action Group (IJTAG) tools and flow.

Preferred qualifications:

• Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science or a related field.
  
• Experience working on DFT for complex subsystems with multiple physical partitions, understanding end-to-end SOC flows (Design, Verification, DFT, PD).
• Knowledge of high-performance DFT techniques like SSN and HighBandwidth IJTAG, scaling DFT with minimal area overhead.
• Proficiency with Spyglass-DFT, DFT Scan constraints, evaluating STA paths, and IJTAG (ICL, PDL extraction, and modeling with Siemens Tessent).
• Proficiency in coverage analysis, Gate-Level Simulation (GLS) debug, and silicon debug.
• Proficient with a scripting language such as Perl or Python.
