We are seeking a highly skilled CAD Engineer specializing in Design-for-Test (DFT) to collaborate with global, multi-functional teams and EDA vendors. The ideal candidate will design and optimize advanced DFT flows for next-generation complex products, including:
Developing Spyglass-based DFT (TestMax) scan DRC analysis and scan coverage estimation flows at the RTL level.
Creating SiliconInsight-based pattern generation, test bring-up, debug, and silicon characterization flows.
Driving innovation in test coverage, yield improvement, and silicon debug methodologies.
Key Responsibilities
Implement and optimize scan insertion flows.
Perform coverage loss analysis (stuck-at, transition delay, path delay) and propose solutions to improve test coverage.
Collaborate on silicon debug and diagnostic platforms for failure analysis and yield improvement.
Contribute to functional safety, clock domain crossing analysis, and logic synthesis.
Education, Skills & Experience
Expert-level proficiency with Spyglass DFT for DRC checks and rule sets.
Extensive hands-on experience with Mentor Tessent, particularly Tessent MBIST (memory BIST insertion, verification, and pattern generation).
Strong familiarity with SiliconInsight tools for silicon debug and diagnostics.
Deep understanding of DFT architectures: Scan, JTAG, Boundary Scan, ATPG, MBIST.
Proficiency in Verilog/VHDL for RTL design.
Strong scripting skills (Python, Tcl) for automation and flow development.
Experience implementing EDT, SSN, boundary scan, JTAG/IJTAG features.
Knowledge of industry-standard simulation tools and Verdi for debug.
Experience with revision control systems (Git, Perforce).
Solid background in functional safety and DFT coverage analysis.
