DFT Engineer

DFT Engineer Location: Penang, Malaysia Responsibilities: • Define and developing comprehensive DFT strategy and architectures for all FPGA chips including its digital, analog and mixed-signal blocks. • Work with Design team in implement and verifying the DFT structures (scan, BIST, JTAG, ATPG and etc) to ensure the structures are correctly inserted in FPGA products. • Support DFT pattern generation, verification, test coverage analysis and improvement for FPGA’s IP/system. • Lead the tradeoff of test coverage vs. test cost evaluation and decision making to ensure high coverage while achieving cost target for each product. • Support post-silicon bring-up, yield analysis/improvement, silicon debug of DFT pattern issues on bench/ATE to root cause the problem. • Develop DFT flow automation to improve efficiency and reduce manual effort. Qualifications: • BS or MS in Electrical/Electronic/Computer Engineering with min 5 years’ experience in DFT development. • Solid knowledge in different DFT scheme and architecture, scan, ATPG, MBIST, JTAG, boundary scan, at-speed testing and etc. • Experience in creating and implementing complex chip-level DFT architecture. • Knowledge of defect types, fault models, debugging, and validation on ATE and silicon bring-up. • Prior experience in engaging Design teams on pre-Silicon test planning and validation. • Strong understanding of design principles and the full ASIC/custom IC design flow. • Excellent debugging skills for RTL, analog blocks and gate-level simulations. • Experience with DFT tools (e.g. TetraMAX, Modus or Tessent), ATPG (Stuck-At, At-Speed, Path-Delay) and scan compression. • Experience in developing test benches and simulation in RTL/GATE/SDF environments. • Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or TCL for automation. • Solid understanding of semiconductor manufacturing processes and fault models. • Knowledge of FPGA architecture/design flow, various BIST is a strong plus. • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to diagnose complex issues. • Good communication skills and the ability to work with cross functional teams.
