Senior DfT Engineer

NXP SemiconductorsChandler, AZ
Hybrid

About The Position

As a DfT engineer, you will join a highly experienced team. Your key responsibilities will be to closely collaborate with various leads and engineers to identify the superset of requirements for Testability of the chip (Functional mode, Debug mode, ATPG). You will gain a deep understanding of existing and innovative ways to insert DfT for complex analog and mixed-signal IPs, standard Macros (RAM, ROM, NVM, ADC, DAC) and complex digital logic. You will be responsible for high-quality RTL design using Verilog and System-Verilog, defining the Verification Plan for implemented features, and writing tests, debugging, and ensuring their passing at the Chiptop level DV environment. This includes scan insertion, optimization, length balancing, P&R-aware rerouting of chains, Test-Point insertion, ATPG patterns generation, simulation, and debug. You will also support Test Engineers during pattern debug on new silicon and customer returns, participate in Design & Test Review meetings, and support the team for DfT. Additionally, you will generate comprehensive DfT Architecture & Design documentation and maintain it, troubleshoot and resolve issues related to DfT throughout the development lifecycle, and stay updated with the latest industry trends, tools, and methodologies in DfT design.
