Job
Description
: Arm s Solutions group DFT team implements DFT for test-chips and hard-macros to prove Arms 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 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 Master s 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 Synthesis & Static Timing Analysis Familiarity with SoC style architectures including multi-clock domain and low power design practices. Validated understanding of Siemens DFT tools Familiarity with Arm IP like the following: Cortex CPUs, Mali GPUs, AMBA protocols, CoreLink interconnects, CoreSight debug Experience with 2.5D and 3D test Ability to work both collaboratively on a team and independently Hard-working and excellent time management skills with an ability to multi-task An upbeat demeanor to working on exciting projects on the cutting edge of technology Experience with Siemens, Cadence, and/or Synopsys DFT and simulation tools In Return: We are proud to have a set of behaviors that reflect our culture and guide our decisions, defining how we work together to defy ordinary and shape outstanding! Partner and customer focus Teamwork and communication Creativity and innovation Team and personal development Impact and influence Deliver on your promise
