What You'll Bring

  • Knowledge of testability techniques and features (Compressed-Scan, Built-in-Self-Test, Loop-Back, Boundary-Scan) covering digital logic domain, embedded memories, and PHY / IO’s.
  • Well versed in JTAG / IEEE 1500 / 1 687 networks. BSDL, ICL, and PDL knowledge preferable.
  • Expertise in ATPG, coverage analysis, and zero-delay / SDF based pattern simulations. Experience with Cadence DFT tools (Modus and Genus) or Mentor DFT tools (Tessent Shell) preferred.
  • Good knowledge of Verilog, logic design, circuit design fundamentals as well as timing.
  • Working knowledge of TCL, python (or another scripting language like Perl).
  • Experience in implementation of MBIST and knowledge of repair schemes, algorithms is a plus.
  • Experience or working knowledge of SERDES, Analog / mixed-signal DFT techniques (like IOBIST, loop-backs, etc.) is a plus.
  • Post-silicon experience in pattern conversion for testers, pattern bring-up & debug, silicon characterization, etc. is a plus.
  • Degree in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience) with evidence of exceptional abilities.
  • Compensation and Benefits
