About the Role

Design for Test (DFT) for high-performance designs going into industry leading AI/ML architectures. Involved in all implementation aspects from RTL to tapeout for various IPs on the chip. High level challenges include reducing test cost while attaining high coverage, and facilitating debug and yield learnings while minimizing design intrusions.

Responsibilities

  • Implement and integrate DFT features (scan, JTAG, compression, ASST, MBIST) into RTL from early design through tapeout across multiple IPs.
  • Own ATPG, test coverage analysis, and gate-level simulation (e.g., with Synopsys VCS/Verdi) to achieve and maintain high-quality test coverage.
  • Plan, implement, and verify MBIST, and work closely with Test Engineering on test planning, pattern delivery, and debug.
  • Develop and refine DFx flows and methodology that integrate cleanly with front-end and physical design flows, balancing coverage, test cost, and design intrusiveness.

Requirements

  • BS/MS/PhD in EE/ECE/CE/CS with 5+ years of industry experience in advanced DFx/DFT for complex ASIC/SoC designs.
  • Fluent in Verilog RTL for DFT logic (lock-up latches, clock gates, scan anchors).
  • Comfortable with SystemVerilog/UVM.
  • Hands-on experience with ATPG and DFx insertion tools, fault models (Stuck-at, Transition, Path Delay, IDDQ, Cell-Aware), and low-power design flows.
  • Strong debug and problem-solving skills across design hierarchies.
  • Collaborate effectively with design, PD, verification, and test teams.
  • Eligible to access U.S. export-controlled technology.
