ears
Developing silicon for Edge Computing isn't just about speed; it’s about balancing high-performance data processing with extreme power efficiency and reliability in remote environm

ents.
As the Design for Test (DFT) Architect, you will be the architect of our testing strategy, ensuring our data center chips are flawlessly manufacturable and resilient enough for edge deplo

yment.
Key Responsib
ilitiesArchitectural Leadership: Define and implement the end-to-end DFT architecture for complex SoCs, including Hierarchical DFT, Scan compression, and

MBIST.
Edge-Specific Reliability: Develop strategies for In-System Test (IST) and power-on self-test (POST) to ensure chip health in remote edge data

centers.
Implementation & Flow: Oversee scan insertion, ATPG (Stuck-at, Transition, Path Delay), and Lo

gic BIST.
Cross-Functional Synergy: Collaborate with Design, Physical Design, and Yield teams to ensure high test coverage while minimizing area overhead and pow

er impact.
Post-Silicon Validation: Lead the bring-up and debug phase on ATE (Automated Test Equipment) to root-cause silicon failures and optimize

test time.
Technical
RequirementsExperience: 14-20 years in DFT, with at least 2 years in a leadership or pri

ncipal role.
Tools: Mastery of industry-standard tools (e.g., Synopsys TestMAX, Siemens/Mentor Tessent, or Ca

dence Modus).
Memory & Logic Test: Deep expertise in MBIST (Memory Built-In Self-Test) with repair capabilities and boundary scan (I

EEE 1149.1/6).
Advanced Nodes: Proven track record with FinFET nodes (7nm,

5nm, or below).
Low Power: Experience managing DFT in multi-voltage/power-gated designs—crucial for
