Senior Principal Engineer- DFT

Job Description

Job Description

Arms Solutions group DFT team implements DFT for test-chips and hard-macros to prove Arm&aposs soft IP power, performance, area, and functionality within the context of a SoC using the latest DFT techniques and process technologies. We closely collaborate with RTL, Verification, Physical Implementation, and Test engineering teams throughout the life cycle of a project, from an early investigation stage all the way through tape-out and silicon test/characterization on ATE.

Responsibilities

Architect, implement, and validate innovative DFT techniques on test chips as well as hard macros. Insert DFT logic into SoC style designs at the RTL level and at the Synthesis gate level, validate all features, and generate ATE targeted test patterns to be run on silicon. Work closely with front-end design and verification teams on DFT RTL level insertion, back-end synthesis, place-and-route, and static-timing-analysis teams on gate level insertion and timing closure, and Test and Debug teams on silicon characterization and validation.

Required Skills And Experience

- This role is for a Senior Principal DFT Engineer with proven ability in Design for Test
- Experience coding Verilog RTL, TCL and/or Perl
- Proficient in Unix/Linux environments
- Core DFT skills considered for this position should include some of the following Scan compression and insertion, Memory BIST and repair scheme implementation, Logic BIST, JTAG/IJTAG, at-speed test, ATPG, fault simulation, back-annotated gate level verification, silicon debug, memory and scan diagnostics
- Bachelors or Masters degree or equivalent experience in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field

Nice To Have Skills and Experience

- Familiarity with IEEE 1149, 1500, 1687, 1838
