ASIC DFT Engineer

Cisco•San Jose, CA

1d•$165,000 - $241,400

About The Position

The applicant will join the Silicon One development organization as an ASIC DFT Engineer. They will collaborate with Front-end RTL and backend physical design teams to understand chip architecture and integrate DFT requirements early in the design cycle. This role involves contributing to the development of next-generation networking chips and leading DFT and quality processes throughout the implementation flow and post-silicon validation phases, with exposure to physical design signoff activities.

Requirements

Bachelor's or a Master's Degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering required with at least 7 years of experience.
Prior experience working in the latest innovative trends in DFT, test and silicon engineering.
Prior experience with Jtag protocols, Scan and BIST architectures, including memory BIST and boundary scan.
Prior experience with ATPG and EDA tools like TestMax, Tetramax, Tessent tool sets, PrimeTime
Prior experience working with Gate level simulation, debugging with VCS and other simulators.
Post-silicon validation and debug experience; Ability to work with ATE patterns, P1687

Nice To Haves

Verilog design experience - developing custom DFT logic & IP integration; familiarity with functional verification
DFT CAD development - Test Architecture, Methodology and Infrastructure
Test Static Timing Analysis
Post silicon validation using DFT patterns.
Verification skills include, System Verilog Logic Equivalency checking and validating the Test-timing of the design

Responsibilities

Responsible for implementing the Hardware Design-for-Test (DFT) features that support ATE, in-system test, debug and diagnostics needs of the designs.
Responsible for development of innovative DFT IP in collaboration with the multi-functional teams, and play a key role in full chip design integration with the testability features coordinated in the RTL.
Work closely with the design/design-verification and PD teams to enable the integration and validation of the Test logic in all phases of the implementation and post silicon validation flows.
Participate in the creation of Innovative Hardware DFT & physical design aspects for new silicon device models, bare die & stacked die, driving re-usable test and debug strategies.
Craft solutions and debug with minimal mentorship.
