Sr. DFT Engineer, Dojo

What to Expect Tesla's Silicon Development Group is looking for aDFT Engineer to work on customASIC design-to-production. You will help drive the state-of-the-art in testability, debug and safety to achieve high test coverage, quality, and safety needed to aggressively deliver very low DPPM, while optimizing the test cost.
What You'll Do

• Define andimplement variousDFTfeatures at RTL and gates usingin-house flows

• Work closelywith the physical design team in achievingdesign closure with DFT features

• Perform block-level scan insertion, ATPG, coverage analysis, and simulations

• Run top-level test pattern retargeting and simulations

• Identify design changes needed for improving test coverage

• Work with test / product engineering team members ontest pattern delivery and Si bring up

What You'll Bring

• Knowledge of Testability techniques and features (Compressed Scan, Built-in-Self-Test,Loop-Back, Boundary Scan) covering digital logic domain, embedded memories and PHY/IO's

• Well versed in JTAG/ 1500 / 1687 networks. BSDL, ICL and PDL knowledge preferable

• Expertise in ATPG, coverage analysis, and zero-delay / SDF-based pattern simulations. Experience with Cadence DFT tools (Modus and Genus) or Mentor DFT tools (Tessent Shell) preferred

• Goodknowledge of Verilog,logic design, circuit design fundamentalsas well as timing

• Working knowledge of TCL, python (or another scripting language like Perl)

• Experience in implementation of MBISTand knowledge of repair schemes, algorithmsis a plus

• Experience or working knowledge of SERDES, Analog /mixed-signal DFT techniques (like IOBIST,loop-backsetc.) is a plus

• Post Silicon experience in Pattern conversion for Testers, PatternBring-up& Debug, SiliconCharacterization etc. is a plus

• Degreein Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering orequivalent experience with evidence of exceptional abilities
