Tecquire Solutions - Lead DFT Engineer - ATPG/MBIST

About The Job

Key Responsibilities

DFT Implementation :

• Develop and implement DFT architectures and methodologies for complex SoCs and ASICs.
• Perform Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG), Memory Built-In Self-Test (MBIST), and Scan Insertion processes.
• Generate, simulate, and verify ATPG, MBIST, and LBIST (Logic Built-In Self-Test) patterns to ensure robust test coverage and design integrity.
  

Pattern Porting & Verification

• Understand the requirements for pattern porting from block level to top level and execute them efficiently.
• Collaborate with design and verification teams to ensure seamless integration of DFT features across various design hierarchies.
  

DFT Architecture & ICL Network

• Develop a thorough understanding of DFT architecture, including scan chains, boundary scan (JTAG), and BIST techniques.
• Apply knowledge of ICL (Interconnect Logic) network design and its impact on testability and design performance.
  

Timing & STA Constraints

• Work with timing analysis teams to define and validate Static Timing Analysis (STA) constraints related to DFT modes.
• Ensure timing closure and resolve any STA violations in test modes.
  

Silicon Debugging & Validation

• Participate in post-silicon bring-up and debug activities, analyzing test results, identifying failures, and providing solutions.
• Leverage silicon debug tools and methodologies to improve test coverage and reduce test time.
  

Required Skills And Experience

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in DFT with a strong emphasis on debugging and scripting.
• Proficient in ATPG, MBIST, Scan Insertion, and pattern simulation/verification techniques.
• Strong understanding of DFT architecture, ICL network, and STA constraints.
• Experience with Silicon Debug and bring-up processes (preferred).
• Proficient in scripting languages such as TCL, Perl, Python, or similar, to automate design and verification tasks.
• Familiarity with industry-standard EDA tools for DFT (e.g., Synopsys, Mentor Graphics, Cadence).
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.
