What we need to see:

  • BSEE (or equivalent experience) with 5+, MSEE with 3+ years of experience or PhD in DFT or related domains

  • Demonstrated knowledge and expertise in defining scan test plans, BIST including memories and IOs, fault modeling, ATPG and fault simulation

  • Excellent analytical skills in verification and validation of test patterns and logic on complex and multi-million gate designs using vendor tools

  • 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

  • Extraordinary written and oral communication skills with the curiosity to work on rare challenges
