Design For Test (San Jose)

Tara Technical Solutions (TTS), San Jose, CA, United States


SoC DFT – DFT Architecture, Test insertion and verification, Pattern generation, Coverage improvement, Post silicon debug and yield improvement to meet the product test metrics.
Work with the Physical Design & STA team for DFT mode timing closure.

You can code using TCL, PERL, RUBY, PYTHON, C++ or similar.

Responsibilities:
Understanding

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
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. (TetraMax, Fastscan)
Experience in Verilog coding, testbench generation & simulation
Memory BIST insertion and verification experience on embedded (SRAM, CAM, eDRAM, ROM)
Boundary scan Verification and test vector generation.

Basic knowledge Test-STA and constraints
Strong background on IEE1687, IJTAG, ICL and PDL
Good understanding of Si processing, logical and physical synthesis, and transistor reliability principles

Experience working on the ATE is a plus
Experience with Serdes, DDR, PCIE, ENET, CXL IOBIST verification and silicon debug is a plus
Experience working on Tessent SSN is a plus BUT NOT a must have.
