Job Description

Principal DFT Engineer Broadcom's ASIC Product Division is seeking candidates for a DFT position at our San Jose, California, Development Center. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading DFT programs all the way from chip level DFT specification, through to implementation and verification culminating in successfully releasing products to production. The candidate would be required to work on various phases of SoC DFT related activities for Broadcom APD (ASIC Products Division)’s designs – DFT Architecture, Test insertion and verification, Pattern generation, Coverage improvement, Post silicon debug and yield improvement to meet the product test metrics.

It involves working with the Physical Design & STA team for DFT mode timing closure. The role could also involve direct interaction with external customers. It is expected that you can code using TCL, PERL, RUBY, PYTHON, C++ or similar.

Responsibilities

Understanding Broadcom & customer DFT feature requirements & DPPM goals & defining appropriate DFT specifications for the ASIC Implementing DFT, including Scan, MBIST, TAP, LBIST, IO, SerDes and other I/P DFT integration Working closely with STA and DI Engineers design closure for test Generating, Verifying & Debugging Test vectors before tape release. Validating & Debugging

Test vectors on ATE during the silicon bring up phase Assisting with silicon failure analysis, diagnostics & yield improvement efforts Interfacing with the customer, physical design and test engineering/manufacturing teams located globally Working closely with I/P DFT engineers & other stakeholders Debugging customer returned parts on the ATE Innovating newer DFT solutions to solve testability problems in 7nm & beyond

Automating DFT & Test Vector Generation flows Skills/Experience: Strong DFT background (such as IO and Analog DFT, ATPG and/or Scan, BIST, and others) Scan Insertion and scan compression background (DFT Compiler, Mentor TestKompress, etc.) Well-versed in ATPG vector generation, simulation, and debugging.
