VLSI DFT Team Leader

Description

We are looking for a talented and experienced DFT Tech Lead. As a DFT Tech Lead you will work closely with all other design teams – backend, vlsi, verification and analog, fully responsible for defining, implementing, and deploying advanced design-for-test (DFT) methodologies for highly complex digital and mixed-signal chips. You will define silicon test strategies, DFT/DFD architecture, and create DFT and Debug specifications for complex next generation SoCs.

Requirements

Minimum qualifications

• 8+ Experience in DFT specification definition, architecture, insertion, and analysis in designs
• Experience in silicon bring-up, debug, and validation of DFT features on ATE, debugging ATPG patterns, Compressed ATPG patterns, MBIST, and JTAG-related issues
• Experience in fault modeling

Preferred qualifications

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering.
• Experience in IP integration (memories, Test controllers, TAP, MBIST).
• Experience using EDA Test tools like Design/Fusion Compiler, DFT Max, SpyGlass, Modus, Tessent, and TestKompress.
• Experience and understanding of ASIC DFT, synthesis, simulation and verification flow.
• Excellent attention to detail organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Create SoC DFT strategy and architecture (ATPG/DFT/MBIST)
• Work on hierarchical design
• Debug all Design Rule checks, apply design fixes to achieve high test quality
• Insert all DFT logic - boundary scan, scan chains, DFT Compression, Logic BIST, TAP controller, Clock Control block, and other DFT IP blocks.
• Insert and hook up MBIST logic.
• Define test plan for special analog IPs and implement.
• Document DFT architecture and test sequences, including boot-up sequence associated with test pins.
