Company

hirify.global's ASIC Product Division develops ASIC and SoC designs and related DFT solutions.

What you will do

• Lead DFT programs from chip-level specification and architecture through implementation, verification, and production release.
• Implement and verify Scan, MBIST, TAP, LBIST, IO, SerDes, and other IP DFT integrations.
• Generate, verify, and debug test vectors before tape release and during silicon bring-up on ATE.
• Work with physical design, STA, design integration, test engineering, manufacturing, IP DFT, and customer teams on test closure and product requirements.
• Support silicon failure analysis, diagnostics, customer-returned-part debugging, and yield improvement.
• Develop new DFT solutions and automate DFT and test-vector-generation flows for 7nm and beyond.

Requirements

• Strong DFT experience, including IO and analog DFT, ATPG, scan, BIST, scan insertion, and scan compression.
• Experience with ATPG vector generation, simulation, and debugging using tools such as TetraMax, Fastscan, DFT Compiler, or TestKompress.
• Experience with Verilog coding, testbench generation, simulation, MBIST insertion and verification, and boundary scan based on IEEE 1149.1 and IEEE 1149.6.
• Strong knowledge of IEEE 1687, IJTAG, ICL, PDL, test-STA, and timing constraints.
• Knowledge of analog and digital circuit design, device physics, silicon processing, logical and physical synthesis, and transistor reliability principles.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Electronic, or Computer Engineering with 12+ years of relevant industry experience, or a master's degree with 10+ years of relevant experience.

Nice to have

• ATE experience and silicon debug experience with SerDes, DDR, PCIe, Ethernet, or CXL IOBIST.
• Experience with Tessent SSN.
