DFT Engineer, Senior Staff

The Role:

Our DFT Engineer, Senior Staff will work with multi-functional global teams to design, implement and verify SCAN, ATPG (Stuck-AT/AT-Speed), MBIST, IO BIST and JTAG/IJTAG DFT features on our next generation highly complex server class processor products.

What the DFT Team wants you to know:

DFT work at Ampere is interesting, challenging, and will expand your professional breadth. We like to bring out the best in people, teach each other, and produce products that have value in the market.

What you’ll do:

As a member of the DFT Team, you will architect and design a significant portion of the DFT feature partnering with design, verification, test, and silicon engineering peers. In addition, you will create solutions to meet challenging frequency, power, coverage, and test time reduction goals.

What you’ll bring

• Experience in Scan insertion with compression for Stuck-At and At-Speed test.
• Experience in Scan ATPG (Stuck-At and At-Speed), coverage analysis, simulation and debug
• Experience in MBIST insertion, simulation and debug on RTL and gates netlist
• Experience in Boundary Scan insertion, simulation and verification.
• Hands on knowledge in state-of-the-art EDA tools for DFT, design and verification.(Mentor, Cadence, Synopsys)
• Good written and verbal communication skills in English
• STA DFT Test mode timing constraint development and analysis is a plus
• Knowledge of Verilog HDL and experience with simulators and waveform debugging tools
• Experience with ATE silicon debug and utilize scripting with perl/Tcl for efficient handling of ATE data a plus.
