ASIC DFT Engineer

Broadcom's ASIC Product Division is seeking candidates for a DFT Engineer position at our San Jose, California Development Center. The successful candidate will participate in SoC DFT implementation, verification, and debug activities including post-silicon bring up.

The candidate will support various phases of SoC DFT-related activities for Broadcom APD’s designs, including test insertion, pattern generation, coverage improvement, and basic silicon debug. The role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams, including Physical Design and STA engineers.

Basic coding/scripting skills in TCL, Perl, Python, C++, or Verilog are expected.

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 3nm & 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.)
• Logic BIST design and debug experience
• Well-versed in ATPG vector generation, simulation, debug. (TetraMax, Fastscan)
• Experience in Verilog coding, testbench generation & simulation
• Memory BIST insertion and verification experience (SRAM, CAM, eDRAM)
• The ability to work in a multi-disciplined, cross-department environment
  Solid knowledge in analog and digital circuit design, and device physics fundamentals
  Good understanding of Si processing, logical and physical synthesis, and transistor reliability principles
• Excellent problem solving, debug , root cause analysis and communication skills
• Experience working on ATE is a plus

Education & Experience:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field with 10+ years of experience.
