Job Overview:

Arm’s CE-Systems DFT team implements DFT for test chips and hard macros to prove out Arm soft IP power, performance, area, and functionality within the context of an SoC using the latest DFT and process technologies.

The DFT team works closely with RTL, Verification, Physical Implementation, and Test engineering teams throughout the life cycle of a project, from an early investigation stage all the way through tape-out and silicon test/characterization on ATE.

Responsibilities:

You will be accountable for inserting DFT logic into SoC style designs at the RTL level and at the Synthesis gate level, validate all features, and generate ATE targeted test patterns to be run on silicon. In addition, you will Architect, implement, and validate innovative DFT techniques. Furthermore you'll work closely with adjoining design teams on RTL level insertion, back-end synthesis, place-and-route, and static-timing-analysis teams on DFT gate level insertion and timing closure, and Test and Debug teams on silicon characterization and validation.

Required Skills and Experience :

• This role is for a Principal DFT Engineer / DFT Manager with shown experience in DFT
• Experience coding Verilog RTL, TCL and/or Perl
• Core DFT skills for this position should include some of the following: Streaming Scan Network (SSN), Scan compression and insertion, Memory BIST and repair scheme implementation, Logic BIST, JTAG/IJTAG, at-speed test, ATPG, fault simulation, back-annotated gate level verification, silicon debug, memory and scan diagnostics
• Experience with Siemens, Cadence, and/or Synopsys DFT and simulation tools
• Bachelors or Master’s degree or equivalent experience in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.

“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience :

• Familiarity with IEEE 1149, 1500, 1687, 1838
• Familiarity with SoC style architectures including multi-clock domain and low power design practices.
• Familiarity with Arm CPU's and GPU's would be a plus.
• Experience with 2.5D and 3D test
• Proficient in Unix/Linux environments
• Innovative and a desire for progress
• Hard-working and excellent time management skills with an ability to multi-task
• An upbeat mentality on ambitious projects on the cutting edge of technology
• Communicate efficiently across teams and sites in different geographies and time zones
