What you will do

• Act as a member of the central DFT methodology group, supporting flows across business units and projects.
• Architect RTL-centric DFT/DFD methodologies and flows for IPs, ASICs, and SoC designs.
• Automate RTL for advanced DFT/DFD features not supported by EDA vendors.
• Develop automated verification test benches and sequences for DFT IP.
• Build IP/block and SoC level scan insertion flows and scripting ATPG retargeting procedures.
• Write static timing constraints, create waivers, and devise flows for bullet-proof timing checks.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
• 12+ years of experience in complex SoC designs in RTL, DFT, or FE capacity.
• Vast experience with various DFT EDA tools from Siemens, SNPS, and Cadence.
• Good knowledge and understanding of Verilog/VHDL and SystemVerilog.
• Exposure to CAD and automation, including Perl, TCL, and Python.
• Extensive experience with main DFT standards such as JTAG (1149.1/1149.6/1500), iJTAG (1687), and BIST techniques (memory BIST, logic BIST, interconnect BISTs).
• Track record in integrating custom-made DFT logic for complex SoCs (System-On-Chip) and CoWoS (Chip-On-Wafer-On-Substrate) designs is highly desirable.
• Experience in SoC and IP/Block level scan insertion and ATPG, simulation of zero delay and SDF annotated test sequences.
