Senior DFT Engineer Responsibilities

• DFT architecture definition
  • Understand SoC architecture and test requirements.
  • Work very closely with the lead Product/Test engineering throughout the DFT definition phase to determine efficient ways to optimize test cost and achieve high test coverage.
  • Drive and optimize DFT architecture for high performance and efficiency:
    • SCAN – scan partition, compression, at-speed, IR and low power
    • MBIST for memories
    • JTAG boundary scan insertion
  • Handle responsibilities pertaining to both block and top-level activities in Hierarchical Scan.
• Implementation
  • Develop / Upgrade SCAN & MBIST Insertion flows
  • Develop appropriate timing constraints for SCAN/MBIST modes and debug timing violations
  • ATPG flow implementation catering to various fault models, test pattern generation
  • SCAN , MBIST & BSCAN Pattern Simulation
  • Solutions to test analog macros
• Post-Silicon bring-up/support
  • Work with Evaluation/Test Engineering team to bring-up patterns on ATE
  • Work on failure analysis as required
  • Work with the Operation team on test cost and yield improvement
• Improve DFT methodology to be in sync with latest best practices and technology in the industry
• Work closely with physical design team throughout the development cycle.
• Should be able to guide newly inducted team members on their bring-up on flow, methodology and execution methods in all aspects of DFT.

Requirements

• 4-8 years of industry experience in DFT domain.
• Must have experience in bringing atleast one or two products to successful production from architecture phase, scan implementation and simulations.
• Must have hands-on experience working on post-silicon activities.
• Having working experience with tessent DFT (SCAN, Mbist, Lbist, OCC, EDT, SSN, Boundary Scan) will be preferred.
• Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills are critical for working, influencing and collaborating with product development groups and CAD tool teams spread across the globe.
• Scripting skills in Perl/Python/TCL and a good command over HDLs.
• Candidates with exposure to deep submicron effects and low power implementation using UPF/CPF will be at an advantage. Candidates with experience using Cadence digital implementation tools (Genus, Tempus) would be preferred.
• Prior experience of timing closure/physical design will be an added plus.
