Sr. DFT Engineer, Dojo

Tesla's Silicon Development Group is looking for a DFT Engineer to work on custom ASIC 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.

Responsibilities

• Define and implement various DFT features at RTL and gates using in-house flows
• Work closely with the physical design team in achieving design 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 on test pattern delivery and Si bring up

Requirements

• 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
• Good knowledge of Verilog, logic design, circuit design fundamentals as well as timing
• Working knowledge of TCL, python (or another scripting language like Perl)
• Experience in implementation of MBIST and knowledge of repair schemes, algorithms is a plus
• Experience or working knowledge of SERDES, Analog /mixed-signal DFT techniques (like IOBIST, loop-backs etc.) is a plus
• Post Silicon experience in Pattern conversion for Testers, Pattern Bring-up & Debug, Silicon Characterization etc. is a plus
• Degree in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience
