Job Description

Alphawave Semi is seeking a Staff Engineer I - DFT in Bangalore to work on the end-to-end Custom Silicon Design cycle, from DFT-architecture planning to delivering qualified Si parts. This role involves implementing full chip level advanced Scan and MBIST insertion, verification, and pattern generation using industry-standard tools and Alphawave workflows. The engineer will collaborate closely with customers, RTL/PD teams, and Test/Product Engineering teams to accelerate critical data communication.
Good To Have:
  • Knowledge of TCL and Python.
  • Track record in integrating custom made DFT logic for complex SoCs and CoWoS designs.
Must Have:
  • Develop, maintain, and support DFT flows across all company business units and projects.
  • Architect methodologies and flows for an integrated, RTL centric "shift left" DFT environment.
  • Write and automate RTL for advanced DFT and DFD features not currently supported by EDA vendors.
  • Develop automated verification test bench and sequence creation for DFT IP.
  • Build IP/block and SoC level scan insertion flows and scripting ATPG retargeting procedures.
  • Write static timing constraints, create waivers, and devise flows for bullet proof timing checks.
  • 8+ years of experience in complex SoC designs in RTL, DFT or FE capacity.
  • Vast experience with various DFT EDA tools from Siemens, SNPS and Cadence.
  • Good knowledge and understanding in Verilog/VHDL and SystemVerilog.
  • Exposure to CAD and automation, including using de-Perl techniques.
  • Extensive experience with JTAG (1149.1/1149.6/1500), iJTAG (1687) and BIST techniques.
  • Experience in SoC and IP/Block level scan insertion and ATPG, simulation of zero delay and SDF annotated test sequences.
Perks:
  • Competitive Compensation Package
  • Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)
  • Provisions to pursue advanced education from Premium Institute, eLearning content providers
  • Medical Insurance and a cohort of Wellness Benefits
  • Educational Assistance
  • Advance Loan Assistance

The Opportunity

We're looking for the Wavemakers of tomorrow.

Alphawave Semi enables tomorrow’s future by accelerating the critical data communication at the heart of our digital world – from seamless video streaming to AI to the metaverse and much more. Our technology powers product innovation in the most data-demanding industries today, including data centers, networking, storage, artificial intelligence, 5G wireless infrastructure, and autonomous vehicles. Customers partner with us for mission-critical data communication, our innovative technologies, and our proven track record. Together, we enable the next generation of digital technology.

Role Summary:

As a DFT engineer at Alphawave Semi, you will be working on end-to-end Custom Silicon Design cycle, from DFT-architecture planning to delivering qualified Si parts to our customers. You will be using some the best industry-standard tools and Alphawave specific workflows to implement full chip level advanced Scan and MBIST insertion, verification, and pattern generation. You will collaborate closely with customers, working hand-in-hand with RTL/PD teams and supporting Test/Product Engineering teams.

What you'll do:

  • Acting as a member of Alphawave central DFT methodology group responsible for developing, maintaining and supporting flows across all company business units and projects
  • Architecting methodologies and flows for an integrated, RTL centric "shift left" DFT environment across company IPs, ASICs and SoC designs.
  • Writing and automating RTL for advanced DFT and DFD features not currently supported by the EDA vendors
  • Developing automated verification test bench and sequence creation for DFT IP. Architecting end-2-end verification solutions from static design checks, through formal and sequence-based verification.
  • Building IP/block and SoC level scan insertion flows and scripting ATPG retargeting procedures. Creating automated QoR checks for implementation quality control.
  • Writing static timing constraints, creating waivers and devising flows for bullet proof timing checks

What you'll need:

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering science, Electrical and Computer Engineering or Computer Science
  • 8+ years of experience in complex SoC designs in RTL, DFT or FE capacity. Candidates with less experience may be considered for other senior technical roles.
  • Vast experience with various DFT EDA tools from Siemens, SNPS and Cadence
  • Good knowledge and understanding in Verilog/VHDL and SystemVerilog
  • Exposure to CAD and automation. Good exposure for using de-Perl techniques in creating generic codes. Knowledge of TCL and Python is a plus.
  • Extensively experienced with main DFT standards such as JTAG (1149.1/1149.6/1500), iJTAG (1687) and BIST techniques (memory BIST, logic BIST, interconnect BISTs)
  • Track record in integrating custom made DFT logic for complex SoCs (System-On-Chip) and CoWoS (Chip-On-Wafer-On-Substrate) designs is highly desirable.
  • Experience in SoC and IP/Block level scan insertion and ATPG, simulation of zero delay and SDF annotated test sequences.
