Description

  • Implement and optimize DFT architectures, including scan insertion, compression/decompression logic, memory BIST, and logic BIST using Siemens Tessent tools.
  • Integrate and verify Design for Test IPs and fabrics within subsystems.
  • Set up and run ATPG tools and methodologies for stuck-at, transition, and path delay fault models, with emphasis on pattern compression, diagnosis, and hierarchical test flows.
  • Run and debug non-timing and SDF-annotated gate-level simulations.
  • Create and validate DFT patterns for post-silicon bringup and support ATE debug during silicon characterization.
  • Develop test scripts, automate workflows, and analyze data using Perl, Python, Tcl, or C++.
  • Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams across systems, firmware, architecture, design, validation, product engineering, and ASIC implementation.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or physics.
  • 5+ years of experience in semiconductor Design for Test engineering, post-silicon validation, and/or production testing.
  • Master’s or PhD in electrical engineering, computer engineering, physics, or a related engineering field preferred.
  • Extensive experience in post-silicon bringup, including silicon debug, failure analysis, and yield optimization on complex SoCs or ASICs.
  • Hands-on experience with Automated Test Equipment platforms such as Teradyne or Advantest.
  • Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure DFT features meet production requirements, preferably using Siemens Tessent workflows.
  • Knowledge of industry standards such as IEEE 1500 and IEEE 1687, and experience with low-power DFT techniques using Siemens Tessent.
  • Experience with In-System Test, boundary scan (IEEE 1149.1), functional testing in embedded systems, or board-level diagnostics.
  • Hands-on experience with Tessent Streaming Scan Network and cell-aware fault models in ATPG.
  • Excellent problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to document strategies, report results, and present to stakeholders.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment, manage multiple projects, and adapt to evolving technology nodes such as 7nm and below.
  • Ability to work extended hours and weekends as needed to meet critical milestones.
  • Must meet ITAR eligibility requirements as a U.S. citizen or national, lawful permanent resident, refugee, asylee, or otherwise eligible for required U.S. Department of State authorization.

Benefits

  • Base salary range of $135,000 to $160,000 for Level 1 and $155,000 to $185,000 for Level 2.
  • Potential long-term incentives in the form of company stock or long-term cash awards.
  • Potential discretionary bonuses.
  • Employee Stock Purchase Plan with the ability to buy additional stock at a discount.
  • Comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage.
  • 401(k) retirement plan.
  • Short- and long-term disability insurance, life insurance, and paid parental leave.
  • Three weeks of paid vacation, 10 or more paid holidays per year, and paid sick leave in accordance with company policy.
