Join us at Ampere and work alongside a passionate and growing team — we'd love to have you apply. Come invent the future with us.

About the role:

The ideal candidate will work with multi-functional global teams to design, implement and verify Boundary Scan, ATPG (Stuck-AT/AT-Speed) SCAN, MBIST, IO BIST and JTAG/IJTAG DFT features on our next generation highly complex server class processor products. Will work in close collaboration with test engineering team to deliver ATE patterns and post silicon bring-up and debug.

What you'll achieve:

• DFT features like jtag/ijtag, regular & shared bus based MBIST insertion for advanced nodes.
• Verification of jtag/ijtag, MBIST features in RTL and GLS
• Post silicon debug and diagnosis MBIST related issues
• Hands on knowledge in state-of-the-art EDA tools for DFT, design and verification (Mentor, Cadence, Synopsys)
• STA DFT Test mode timing constraint development and analysis
• In-depth knowledge of Verilog HDL and experience with simulators and waveform debugging tools
• ATE silicon debug and utilize scripting with perl/Tcl for efficient handling of ATE data

About you:

• Bachelor's degree & 3 years of related experience or Master's degree & 2 years of related experience
• Expert with methods and techniques to design, implement and verify regular and shared bus based Memory BIST on repairable and non-repairable memories using Electrical fuses
• Expert knowledge and practical work experience partnering with designers to implement highly customized and tools-driven MBIST solutions.
• Solid understanding of MBIST algorithms needed for 5nm and lower technology nodes and ability to code new algorithms, operation sets supporting tool driven solutions
• Experience in implementing jtag/ijtag features.
• Work independently to generate test plans, run simulations and debug failures on RTL and Gate Level
• Hands on experience in the usage of industry standard tools, like Siemens Tessent Shell flow, or Synopsys SMS/SHS flow
• Experience in working with physical design teams to support STA constraints, reviewing timing reports
• Expert in using silicon debug/diagnosis tools to root cause silicon bring up and production test issue
• Experience in setting up and running Scan DRC flows in RTL.
• Experience with industry standard simulation tools, including Verilog, and scripting languages like Perl, Python, Shell or Tcl
• Experience in revision control systems like GIT, perforce etc.

What we'll offer:

At Ampere we believe in taking care of our employees and providing a competitive total rewards package that includes base pay, bonus (i.e., variable pay tied to internal company goals), long-term incentive, and comprehensive benefits.
