Job description

As a DFT Design Engineer at Intel, you will significantly impact the development of silicon solutions by integrating Design for Test (DFT) capabilities into advanced designs. This role involves collaboration with various teams, including architecture, design, verification, and manufacturing, to enhance test coverage and optimize design performance. Your work will drive innovation in the creation of industry-leading SoC and IP solutions. You will also be responsible for ensuring the quality and efficiency of Intel's products.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
  • 5+ years of experience in DFT, SoC design, or related semiconductor design areas
  • Hands-on experience with ATPG, scan insertion, and/or MBIST/repair
  • RTL design experience using hardware description languages such as Verilog, VHDL, or SystemVerilog

Responsibilities

  • Develop logic design and register transfer level (RTL) coding to support DFT features such as SCAN, MBIST, and BSCAN.
  • Provide timing closure support and test content generation for manufacturing.
  • Collaborate in defining architecture and microarchitecture features for blocks, subsystems, and SoCs under DFT.
  • Optimize designs to meet power, performance, area, timing, and test coverage goals while adhering to design integrity standards.
  • Write, integrate, and verify RTL and structural code for DFT functionality.
  • Drive verification efforts to ensure architecture and microarchitecture specifications are achieved.
  • Support IP and SoC integration to ensure high-quality implementation of DFT blocks.
  • Develop high-volume manufacturing (HVM) content for rapid bring-up and production on automatic test equipment (ATE).
  • Collaborate with post-silicon and manufacturing teams to verify features on silicon and document learnings for continuous improvement.
  • Drive high test coverage through structural and IP-specific tests to achieve product quality and defect-per-million (DPM) objectives.

Benefits

  • Intel offers a comprehensive benefits package including competitive pay, stock programs, healthcare coverage, retirement plans, paid time off, parental leave, and programs supporting employee wellbeing and professional development.
