Responsibilities:

·          Collaborate with the design team to ensure efficient and effective testability of complex integrated circuits.

·          Design and implement DFT features such as scan chains, compression, and built-in self-test structures to enhance testability.

·          Conduct DFT DRC checks in RTL/Netlist database to ensure compliance with DFT guidelines and rules.

·          Utilize Cadence/Siemen’s DFT tool to perform DFT analysis and optimize testability metrics.

·          Generating high quality manufacturing ATPG test patterns for stuck-at (SAF), transition fault (TDF) models using on-chip test compression techniques.

·          MBIST Design (including repair) and Verification using Siemen’s EDA tool.

·          Validation of DFT structures/patterns in RTL, Netlist with and without SDF.

·          Work closely with the verification team to define and implement DFT verification plans.

·          Work closely with physical design team for DFT implementation/constraints strategy for synthesis/STA.

·          Analyze and debug test failures and collaborate with the test engineering team to resolve issues.

·          Provide guidance and mentorship to junior DFT engineers.

Qualifications:

·          Bachelor's/Master's degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, or a related field.

·          7-11 years of hands-on experience in DFT methodologies and techniques.

·          Strong knowledge of LBIST, ATPG, DFT DRC, Scan compression, Low power DFT Techniques, MBIST, Boundary Scan, Analog DFT, JTAG Architecture, DFT STA Constraint development.

·          Hand-on experience/expertise in Cadence/Siemen’s DFT EDA tools for Scan stitching, DRC, ATPG, Coverage improvement, MBIST, Boundary Scan.

·          Proficiency in scripting languages such as Perl, Tcl, and/or Python for automation.

·          Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals, RTL coding, Lint/CDC, Low Power Checks and ASIC design flow.

·          Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work effectively in a team-oriented environment.

·          Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
