The CPU DFT Verification Engineer will join Apple's processor verification team, focusing on DFT verification. This role is crucial in the chip design effort, collaborating with various teams to ensure the functionality of DFT logic. The engineer will work on developing test plans, testbenches, and debugging simulation failures. This position requires a strong candidate with a passion for innovation and a commitment to delivering high-quality products.

• Minimum BS degree and 3+ years of relevant industry experience
• Experience in DFT design, DFT verification, or processor verification
• Experience with digital logic design and DFT architecture
• Experience with DFT and structural debug concepts and methodologies such as JTAG, IEEE1500, or MBIST and scan
• Experience in scripting in Python, Perl, or TCL
• Master's degree preferred
• Understanding of CPU architecture
• Experience in developing design verification test plans, test benches, and test vectors generation
• Experience with lab debug of CPUs/ASIC using built-in DFT and debug features is a plus
• In-depth knowledge in design verification environments like random constraint verification
• Knowledge of Verilog and experience with simulators and waveform debugging tools
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to articulate complex design issues

• Work closely with architecture, RTL designers, and DFT designers on verifying the functionality correctness of the DFT logic
• Execute test plans for DFT logic
• Develop testbenches and tests according to test plans
• Debug simulation failures
• Develop coverage monitors and analyze coverage to ensure all test cases in the plans are covered
• Develop Verilog checkers or assertions to verify the design
• Work with the silicon bringup team on developing tests that help the silicon bring up effort
