Job description

NXP CAEN is seeking a Senior DfT Engineer to contribute to the design and implementation of Design-for-Test (DFT) solutions for complex System-on-Chip (SoC) products for Automotive Market, ensuring high test coverage and efficient manufacturing test flows.

Your Responsibilities:

* Develop and implement DFT architectures and methodologies for digital and mixed-signal IPs and SoCs, including scan, JTAG, memory BIST, and logic BIST.
* Perform DFT insertion and verification using industry-standard EDA tools.
* Generate test patterns (e.g., ATPG, BIST patterns) and ensure their effectiveness in achieving target fault coverage.
* Analyze test coverage reports and work with design teams to identify and resolve DFT-related design issues.
* Collaborate with verification and test engineering teams to define and validate manufacturing test plans.
* Debug silicon test failures and provide support for production ramp-up.
* Contribute to the continuous improvement of DFT methodologies and flows.
* Document DFT specifications, implementation details, and test plans.

Your Profile:

* Master's degree in Electrical Engineering,

* Proven experience (7+ years) in DFT design and verification for complex SoCs.
* Strong understanding of various DFT techniques (Scan, JTAG, MBIST, LBIST, Boundary Scan).
* Proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools for DFT insertion, ATPG, and fault simulation (e.g., Tessent, Synopsys DFT Compiler, Cadence Modus, Synopsys Z01X).
* Solid understanding of digital design principles and ASIC/SoC design flow.

* Experience with Security and  Safety is a plus.
* Experience with scripting languages (e.g., Tcl, Python, Perl) for automation.
* Familiarity with semiconductor manufacturing test processes is a plus.
* Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
* Ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.
* Fluency in English is required.
