DFT Engineer for ASIC Designs
In this role, you will be responsible for creating, implementing, and verifying DFT solutions for future ASIC designs, ensuring that quality standards are upheld for products shipping in volume. You will leverage advanced DFT methodologies to optimize test coverage, cost, and time-to-market. This position is office-based in Cambridge and visa can be considered for exceptional candidates only!
Responsibilities
- Define and implement DFT strategies at the chip, subsystem, and IP levels, balancing structural and functional methods while making pragmatic trade-offs
- Utilize Tessent DFT tool flows for inserting MBIST, EDT, SSN, scan controls via IJTAG, and IP test using ICL/PDL in both flat and hierarchical designs
- Verify DFT structures and debug related issues to ensure robust design implementation
- Support DFT processes through implementation and sign-off, including generating timing constraints and resolving timing, power, and formal equivalence issues
