About The Position

You will be in the Silicon One development organization as an ASIC Technical Lead in San Jose with a primary focus on Design-for-Test. You will work with Front-end RTL teams, backend physical design teams to understand chip architecture and drive DFT requirements early in the design cycle. As a member of this team you will also be involved in crafting groundbreaking next generation networking chips. You will help lead to drive the DFT and quality process through the entire Implementation flow and post silicon validation phases with additional exposure to physical design signoff activities.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or a Master's Degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering required with at least 10 years of experience.
• Prior experience in post-silicon debug experience from first silicon to production
• 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.

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 defining and implementing post-silicon strategies
• 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.
• Your team will 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.
• The job requires the candidate to have the ability to craft solutions and debug with minimal mentorship.
