Responsibilities:

You will be accountable for inserting 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. In addition, you will Architect, implement, and validate innovative DFT techniques. Furthermore you'll work closely with adjoining design teams on 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 / DFT Manager with shown experience in DFT
• Experience coding Verilog RTL, TCL and/or Perl
• Core DFT skills for this position should include some of the following: Streaming Scan Network (SSN), Scan compression and insertion, Memory BIST and repair scheme implementation, Logic BIST, JTAG/IJTAG, at-speed test, ATPG, fault simulation, back-annotated gate level verification, silicon debug, memory and scan diagnostics
• Experience with Siemens, Cadence, and/or Synopsys DFT and simulation tools
• Bachelors or Master’s degree or equivalent experience in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.

“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience :

• Familiarity with IEEE 1149, 1500, 1687, 1838
