DFT Engineer

Responsibilities

  • Define & document DFT requirements / Specifications for IP / Block and Chip level
  • Execute DFT Lint to identify scan DRC violations and resolution
  • Top level and hard macro block level scan insertion with high EDT compression ratio (Hybrid LBIST, EDT IP / ATPG, LPCT EDT, AC scan verification with high speed PLL, MBIST, and IJTAG)
  • Plan and Insert MBIST and memory repair (BISR) at RTL
  • Generate and port IJTAG ICL / PDL and STIL patterns for MBIST, ATPG, and JTAG tests
  • ATPG pattern verification on pre / post-route gate-level netlist including 0-delay and SDF
  • Work with backend team for the MBIST / Scan mode constraints generation, scan reorder, VCDs for IR drop analysis during DFT, ECO changes and formal verification (LEC), and timing closure
  • Support test engineer for pattern generation, tester debug and failure analysis.
  • Work with Test Engineering team during Silicon bring-up and creating flow / scripts necessary for debugging / diagnosing compression LPC ATPG patterns (stuck-at / at speed), MBIST patterns on ATE for development and production programs
  • Expert knowledge of Mentor Tessent toolchain

Job Requirements

  • Strong knowledge and experience with both JTAG (IEEE1149.1) and IJTAG (1687)
  • Experience in inserting EDT, wrapper cells and OCC
  • Experience in analyzing DFT DRC violations and fault coverage analysis
  • Expertise in ATPG. Debug and resolve ATPG DRC and chain trace issues
  • Gate level simulations and debug; both 0-delay and with SDF DFT
  • Expertise in using Cadence for scan stitching and Mentor Tessent tool suite for DFT implementation
  • Experience in debugging tester / ATE failures, silicon bring-up and yield and test time improvement
  • Experience in Perl / TCL scripting and good verbal / written communication skills
  • 7 years of proven DFT execution experience on mixed-signal SoC with first-pass silicon success
  • If your compensation planning software is too rigid to deploy winning incentive strategies, it’s time to find an adaptable solution. Compensation Planning
