Job Responsibilities
•
Lead and execute the full DFT design flow, including specification definition, architectural design, RTL coding (Verilog/SystemVerilog), synthesis, static timing analysis (STA), verification.
•
Develop and integrate scan insertion, test compression, and ATPG patterns.
•
Implement memory BIST strategies.
•
Collaborate closely with digital, analog, mixed-signal, product, test and software teams.
•
Collaborate with RTL and physical design teams for DFT insertion and timing closure.
•
Develop and implement innovative DFT architectures and design methodologies to meet challenging performance, power, area and quality targets.
•
Optimize test coverage, pattern count and test time.
•
Perform comprehensive DFT verification at RTL and gate level.
•
Work with ATE teams for test program development and silicon bring-up.
•
Participate in post-silicon validation and debug activities, identifying and resolving issues to ensure product quality.
