Job Description:
Arm’s Solutions group DFT team implements DFT for test-chips and hard-macros to prove Arm's soft IP power, performance, area, and functionality within the context of a SoC using the latest DFT techniques and process technologies. We closely collaborate with RTL, Verification, Physical Implementation, and Test engineering teams throughout the life cycle of a project, from an early investigation stage all the way through tape-out and silicon test/characterization on ATE.
Responsibilities:
Architect, Implement, and validate innovative DFT techniques on test-chips and hard-macros. Insert DFT logic into SoC-style designs at the RTL level and at the Synthesis gate level, validate all features, and generate ATE-targeted test patterns to be run on silicon. Work closely with front-end design and verification teams on DFT RTL level insertion, back-end synthesis, place-and-route, and static-timing-analysis teams on DFT gate level insertion and timing closure, and Test and Debug teams on silicon characterization and validation.
Required Skills and Experience:
- This role is for a Principal DFT Engineer with 13 + years of proven experience in Design for Test
- Experience coding in Verilog RTL, and scripting language like TCL, and/or Perl
- Proficient in Unix/Linux environments
- Core DFT skills considered crucial for this position should include some of the following: Scan compression and insertion, Memory BIST, Logic BIST, JTAG/IJTAG, at-speed test, ATPG, fault simulation, back-annotated gate-level verification, silicon debug
- Experience with Siemens, Cadence, and/or Synopsys DFT and simulation tools
“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience:
- Familiarity with IEEE 1149, 1500, 1687
- Familiarity with Synthesis and Static Timing Analysis
- Working knowledge of Siemens DFT tools
- Ability to work both collaboratively on a team and independently.
- Innovative and a passion for progress
- Hard-working and excellent time management skills with an ability to multi-task
In Return:
- Opportunity to work with some of the greatest minds in the industry!
- Competitive compensation and great benefits!
- Flexible working hours
