DFT Engineer

Broadcom's ASIC Product Division is seeking candidates for HBM/DDR/SERDES Verification Lead Engineer position at our San Jose, California Development Center. We are seeking a highly skilled HBM and SerDes DFT Verification Engineer to join our dynamic team. In this role, you will play a crucial part in ensuring the robustness and reliability of our HBM, DDR and SerDes designs through comprehensive Design for Test (DFT) verification strategies. You will work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to develop, implement, and validate DFT methodologies, guaranteeing that our products meet the highest quality standards.

Key Responsibilities:

• Implement and verify DFT methodologies specifically for HBM, DDR and SerDes designs.

• Collaborate with design and architecture teams to identify and define critical testability requirements.

• Utilize advanced simulation tools and methodologies to thoroughly verify DFT implementations.

• Analyze DFT-related data and provide insights for continuous design improvements.

• Document verification processes, results, and best practices to enhance team knowledge and efficiency.

• Stay updated with the latest trends and technologies in DFT, HBM, and SerDes to drive innovation within the team.

• Working closely with STA and DI Engineers design closure for test

• Generating, Verifying & Debugging Test vectors before tape release.

• Validating & Debugging Test vectors on ATE during the silicon bring up phase

• Assisting with silicon failure analysis, diagnostics & yield improvement efforts

• Interfacing with the customers, physical design and test engineering/manufacturing teams located globally

• Working closely with I/P DFT engineers & other stakeholders

• Debugging customer returned parts on the ATE

• Innovating newer DFT solutions to solve testability problems in 3nm IPs & beyond

• Automating DFT & Test Vector Generation flows

 Skills/Experience: 

• Strong DFT background (such as Analog DFT, MBIST, IEEE1687 and others)

• Proven experience in DFT verification, particularly with HBM, DDR, PCIE and other SerDes IPs.
