DFT Engineer

Summary

Join an ambitious, experienced team of silicon and distributed systems experts as a Design For Test engineer. You have the opportunity to build a groundbreaking new category of product that revolutionizes the performance and scalability of next-generation distributed computing systems, and to help solve key infrastructure challenges facing our customers.

We are looking for talented, motivated candidates with experience building and deploying DFT flows for large-scale networking and computing chips, and who are looking to grow in a fast paced, dynamic startup environment. 

Default location is Mountain View, CA, but we are equally open to remote candidates.

Roles & Responsibilities

• As a member of our team, you will work with multi-functional teams, implementing state-of-the-art designs in test access mechanisms, IO BIST, memory BIST and scan compression.
• You will work with 3rd party IP vendors to integrate Memory BIST, scan, PHY I/O BIST, and other DFT logic into a streaming scan fabric with a sequential scan compressor/decompressor
• You will work with DFT Solutions Vendors to port those patterns at the top-level, to implement Memory BIST interface in high performance processor IP, and to implement high-speed I/O for the logic scan test
• You will work with Physical Designers to validate the DFT timing constraints
• You will work with RTL Designers to verify test design rules
• You will work with Test Engineers to bring up the patterns on the ATE Automated Test Equipment
• You will help develop and deploy DFT methodologies for our next generation products.

Key Qualifications

• MSEE or equivalent experience
• 7+ years of experience in DFT or related domains
• You will have a solid knowledge and expertise in defining scan test plans, BIST including memories and IOs, fault modeling, ATPG and fault simulation
• Possess excellent analytical skills in verification and validation of test patterns and logic on complex and multi-million gate designs using vendor tools
• Have good exposure to cross functional areas including RTL & clocks design, STA, place-n-route and power, to ensure we are making the right trade-offs
• Experience in Silicon debug and bring-up on the ATE with an understanding of pattern formats, failure processing, and test program development
• Strong programming and scripting skills in Perl, Python or Tcl desired
• Exceptional written and oral and interpersonal skills with the curiosity to work on rare challenges
