MTS Silicon Design Engineer - DFX Timing

THE ROLE:

As a member of the G&E SoC DFT Team, the successful candidate will own the DFX timing responsibilities for the next gen of AMD SoCs.

THE PERSON:

You have a passion for modern, complex processor architecture, digital design, and verification in general. You are a team player who has excellent communication skills and experience collaborating with other engineers located in different sites/timezones.You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills and are willing to learn and ready to take on problems.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

The candidate must have thorough knowledge of DFT basics such as scan insertion, fault models, ATPG, BIST techniques, and on-chip compression techniques that reduce test time and tester memory. Need to work with product engineering team for Silicon Bring-up and also support post-silicon debug.

• DFX timing constraints development
• Review timing reports
• Timing closure for different modes : AC/DC scan capture , scan shift , MBIST
• Interfacing with the design teams to ensure DFT design rules and guidelines are met
• Interact with PD and Front End Integration team for Scan Insertion
• Generating high quality manufacturing test patterns for stuck-at, transition fault models and CA model
• Simulating and verifying the ATPG and LBIST patterns
• Working with the product engineering teams on the delivery of manufacturing test patterns
• Developing, enhancing and maintaining scripts as necessary
• Able to technically guide and mentor junior folks in the team

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Experience in creating and implementing complex chip-level DFT architecture
• DFX timing constraints development
• Review timing reports
• Timing closure for different modes : AC/DC scan capture , scan shift , MBIST
• Experience in DFT implementation including Scan insertion, ATPG and Simulations
• Experience with DFT tools, ATPG (Stuck-At, At-Speed, Path-Delay) and scan compression
• Experience in debugging low coverage and DRC fixes
• Proficient in logic design using Verilog
• Experience of debugging test pattern issues
• Support the Silicon bringup activities to guarantee highest stability of the test pattern
• Knowledge of MBIST is a plus.
• Knowledge of synthesis is a plus
• Experience with post-silicon debug
• Comfortable in Linux environment and writing/using scripting languages such as Perl, Tcl, etc
• Any Tessent Scan/ATPG certifications is a plus
• Excellent presentation and inter-communication skills.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering
• Prior experience as DFT engineer
