- 5+ years of hands-on experience in SoC architecture, RTL design, and verification.
- Strong proficiency in micro-architecture and RTL development using Verilog.
- Deep expertise in DFT design, methodology, and implementation.
- Familiarity with related domains such as clocking, STA, place & route, and power optimization.
- Experience in post-silicon bring-up on ATE, including understanding of pattern formats, test program development, and failure analysis.
- Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or Tcl.
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
Responsibilities
- Own the architecture and design of fuse controller and other DFT IPs for cutting-edge SoC designs.
- Develop, deploy, and enhance DFT methodologies for scalability and future product needs.
- Define and align feature sets by working closely with architects, platform, and software teams.
- Partner with design, verification, synthesis, timing, and backend teams to ensure cohesive integration.
- Create and execute test plans to support both functional and DFT full-chip verification.
- Support post-silicon bring-up and validation efforts including debug and issue resolution.
- Mentor junior engineers on test design strategies and trade-offs related to cost, quality, and performance.
