You should be able to work efficiently within a team environment and drive tasks to completion, all while demonstrating excellent oral, written and interpersonal communication skills!

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Working with a multi-discipline and international team of engineers on design-for-debug (DFD) architecture, design and methodology initiatives. 
• Performing DFD IP RTL design per micro-architectural specifications.
• Performing DFD RTL integration, synthesis, equivalency checking, timing analysis and closure including defining design constraints.
• Writing and maintain DFD documentation, presentation material and specifications.
• Getting design tool flows running at the IP component level.
• Support the integration/verification of DFD IP into other IP and at the SoC-level.
• Support post silicon bring up and debug.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Understanding of Design For Test methodologies and DFT verification experience.
• Understanding various technologies that must work with DFD technology such as CPU’s, graphics engines, high-speed digital design, memory, and I/O controllers, etc.
