Join the leading chiplet startup! As an Eliyan Staff DFT Engineer, you will be working at a fast-paced early-stage startup creating technologies that fuel tomorrow’s chiplet based systems with best-in-class power, area, manufacturability, and design flexibility. You will be defining and implementing scan, memory BIST, IEEE 1149.x/1687/1500/1838 structures, and reporting coverage. You will work with a cross-functional team of industry experts that operate from first principles, innovate and push the envelope to create high-volume and high-performance manufacturable products. We offer a fun work environment with excellent benefits.
Key Responsibilities:
•
Work with the DFT and Chip Architects to define DFT strategy, methodologies, and implementation plan for various projects (chip_level and stand-alone IP blocks such as PHYs and chiplets)
•
Implement DFT features in RTL for digital and analog blocks to the defined architecture & plan
•
Generate patterns (e.g., 1687 PLDs, 1149.x, MBIST, etc.) and validate the same at the RTL & gate level
•
Generate ATPG patterns (SA/TDF/etc.) and validate the same in 0-delay and SDF-delay based simulations.
•
Collaborate with Analog/Mixed Signal (AMS) teams to ensure DFT coverage for high-speed interfaces & implement structural tests for digital logic in the analog blocks
•
Work with circuit architects on advanced testing techniques such as PRBS-based PHY loopback capabilities, internal measurement of high-speed clock networks, etc.
•
Support flow automation and scripting
•
Support device bring up in the lab and pattern handoff to operations for high volume manufacturing and qualification (e.g., running patterns in the lab via the TAP controller, post-silicon bring up of patterns on the ATE, pattern bring up for HTOL and other QUAL activities, RMA analysis, etc.)
•
Document overall test coverage and mitigation strategy to narrow down holes
Minimum Qualifications:
•
Proficient in modern DFT/DFx techniques, methods, & tools (scan insert & ATPG, MBIST, etc.)
•
Working knowledge of relevant industry standards (e.g., IEEE 1149.x/1687/1500/1838)
•
Proficient in Verilog simulation & debug of DFT structures at the RTL & gate level
•
General knowledge of digital and AMS circuit design techniques
•
Experience in taping out at least 4 designs and bring up of at least 2 designs on an ATE or in the lab
•
Proficient in TCL/shell scripting, working knowledge of scripting in one of perl/python or similar languages, working knowledge of other industry standard tools (Make, bug tracking, colab SW)
•
Ability to work collaboratively with cross functional team
•
BS EE or equivalent, with 6-9 years of experience
Ideal Qualifications:
•
Deep expertise in modern test methods and DFx methodologies
•
Experience in balancing tradeoffs of test time vs complexity (PPA) vs coverage
•
Experience in taking a holistic view of a devices test coverage to incorporate the coverage from non-structural tests into the overall coverage analysis
•
Experience with delivery of hard and soft IP to internal and external customers, including the ability to create design kit collaterals for the IP
•
3+ experience with Siemens Tessent platform including ATPG, MBIST, iJtag, BS, and SSN flows
•
MS/PhD EE or equivalent, with 6-9 years of experience
