Job description

As a DFT Engineer at Rivian, you will be responsible for defining, implementing, and deploying advanced Design-for-Test methodologies. You will collaborate with Front-end RTL Teams, Physical design teams, and Productization teams to ensure effective DFT insertion and verification. The role focuses on improving test coverage and driving test methodologies from RTL/netlist through post-silicon debug. You will also develop test scripts and automate processes using various programming languages.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of experience in DFT architecture, implementation, and verification for SoCs.
  • Experience in DFT flow, including architecture, IP integration, and interaction with synthesis and verification flows.
  • Experience with industry-leading EDA tools for DFT, such as Synopsys or Siemens EDA.
  • Verilog design experience, including developing custom DFT logic and IP integration.

Responsibilities

  • Lead implementation of DFT architectures, including scan insertion and memory BIST.
  • Evaluate design readiness for scan insertion through RTL and physical design.
  • Integrate and verify Design for Test fabrics and IP within Subsystems.
  • Develop test scripts, automate processes, and analyze data using programming languages.
  • Own ATPG tools and methodologies, including generating patterns for various fault models.
  • Run and debug non-timing and SDF annotated gate level simulations.
  • Analyze test results and drive test coverage improvement and closure.
  • Support pre-silicon DFT signoff and assist with post-silicon pattern bring-up.

Benefits

  • Employees at Rivian are often offered comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) with company match, ESPP and potential RSU grants, performance bonuses, and generous time off including paid parental and sick leave. Perks can include 24/7 mental-health coaching and therapy, Hinge Health for Anthem enrollees, tuition assistance and professional development, plus on-site food and a wide range of employee discounts on items like computers, mobile phones, home loans, and pet care.
