Principal DFT Engineer (Silicon Engineering)

Responsibilities

• Lead implementation and optimization of DFT architectures, including scan insertion, compression/decompression logic, memory BIST, and logic BIST, leveraging Siemens Tessent tools for RTL and gate netlist DFT implementation
• Own ATPG tools and methodologies, including generating patterns for stuck-at, transition, and path delay fault models, while focusing on pattern compression, diagnosis, and hierarchical test flows
• Provide post-silicon testing and validation support
• Responsible for evaluating design readiness for scan insertion through RTL and physical design Scan Design Rule Check (DRC) tools
• Integration and verification of Design for Test (DFT) fabrics and IP within Subsystems
• Run and debug non-timing and SDF annotated gate level simulations
• Develop test scripts, automate processes, and analyze data using programming languages such as Perl, Python, Tcl, or C+

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering or computer science
• 10+ years of experience working with ASICs
• 10+ years of experience in scan insertion and DFT setup, integration and validation

Preferred Skills And Experience:

• Leadership experience driving SOC DFT execution from concept through tapeout and product deployment
• RTL experience to understand, trace and debug RTL connectivity issues as they pertain to DFT
• Experience with UPF (Unified Power Format), formal verification, and DRC rule checking experience
• Familiar with advanced silicon process and technology nodes for high speed and low power consumption
• Strong implementation or integration of design blocks using Verilog/SystemVerilog
• Experience working with ATE testers and test teams
