Experienced Dft Atpg Engineer

Intel Intel · Semiconductors · Massachusetts, Beaver Brook, United States +1

Experienced DFT ATPG Engineer responsible for developing logic design, RTL coding, simulation, DFT timing closure support, and test content generation for various DFx content. The role involves participating in architecture and microarchitecture definition, developing HVM content for ATE, integrating DFT blocks, and collaborating with post-silicon and manufacturing teams. Requires BS/MS in EE/CE or related STEM field with 1-3+ years of DFT experience and familiarity with tools like Siemens Tessent, Spyglass, Fusion compiler, and/or VCS, as well as experience with scan insertion, debug, and post-silicon debug.

What you'd actually do

  1. The DFT ATPG engineer develops the logic design, register transfer level (RTL) coding, simulation, and provides DFT timing closure support as well as test content generation and delivery to manufacturing for various DFx content (including SCAN, MBIST, and BSCAN).
  2. Participates and collaborates in the definition of architecture and microarchitecture features of the block, subsystem, and SoC under DFT being designed (including TAP, SCAN, MBIST, BSCAN, proc monitors, in system test/BIST).
  3. Develops HVM content for rapid bring up and ramp to production on the automatic test equipment (ATE).
  4. Applies various strategies, tools, and methods to write and generate RTL and structural code to integrate DFT.
  5. Optimizes logic to qualify the design to meet power, performance, area, timing, testcoverage, DPM, and testtime/vectormemory reduction goals as well as design integrity for physical implementation.
