Principal DFT Engineer (Design-For-Test)

Job Description:

1. Participate in the architecture and implementation of DFT (Design-For-Test) features for SoC/IP, including scan chain design, ATPG, pattern generation, simulation, and diagnosis

2. Perform CP (wafer-level) and FT (final test) yield analysis based on diagnosis results

3. Research and evaluate state-of-the-art DFT architectures and methodologies for SoC/IP designs

4. Develop and maintain in-house DFT flows and automation methods, and deploy them across multiple projects

5. Troubleshoot DFT-related issues during design implementation and silicon bring-up phases.

Requirements:

1. Master's degree or above in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field

2. 10+ years of working experience in ASIC/SoC development

3. Solid understanding of Verilog and familiarity with front-end design flow

4. Knowledge of DFT concepts and techniques, including scan insertion, MBIST, and boundary scan

5. Proficient in using industry-standard tools such as Synopsys Design Compiler, DFT Compiler, TetraMAX, VCS, or Mentor Tessent

6. Experience with ATPG, MBIST, or diagnosis experience in yield analysis is a strong plus

7. Skilled in scripting with Makefile, Tcl, Perl, or Python for design automation

8. Strong communication and presentation skills in English, with a passion for test methodologies and innovation.
