DFT Staff Engineer

The DFT Staff Engineer will work on various phases of SoC DFT activities for Broadcom APD designs, including DFT architecture, test insertion and verification, pattern generation, coverage improvement, and post-silicon debug. This role involves collaborating with Physical Design & STA teams for DFT mode timing closure and potentially interacting with external customers. The ideal candidate will possess in-depth knowledge of DFT concepts, ATPG, MBIST, IJTAG, and strong problem-solving skills to meet product test metrics.

Must Have

• Work on SoC DFT activities (architecture, insertion, verification)
• Perform pattern generation and coverage improvement
• Conduct vector simulation and post-silicon debug
• Collaborate with Physical Design & STA teams for timing closure
• Possess in-depth knowledge of DFT concepts, ATPG, MBIST, IJTAG
• Strong problem solving & debugging skills

Good to Have

• Expertise in scripting languages (Perl, Shell)
• Experience with Mentor Graphics DFT tools (Tessent Shell)
• Ability to work independently
• Excellent communication skills

The candidate would be required to work on various phases of SoC DFT related activities for Broadcom APD (ASIC Product Division)'s designs - DFT Architecture, Test insertion and verification, Pattern generation, Coverage improvement, Post silicon debug and yield improvement to meet the product test metrics. It involves working with the Physical Design & STA team for DFT mode timing closure. The role could also involve direct interaction with external customers. The candidate should have in-depth knowledge of DFT concepts and should be experienced in various aspects of DFT -ATPG, MBIST & IJTAG. The candidate should have worked on DFT insertion & verification, pattern generation, coverage improvement, vector simulation, post-silicon debug. Strong problem solving & debugging skills are a must. Expertise in scripting languages such as perl, shell, etc. is an added advantage. Experience with either Mentor Graphics DFT tools (Tessent Shell) is highly desirable. The candidate should have worked with team across multiple geographies. The candidate should be able to handle his/her work independently. The candidate should possess excellent communication skills. Educational qualification & Experience Level : Bachelor's degree with 8+ years of relevant experience or Master's degree with 6+ years of relevant experience
