SoC DFT Engineer

Do you love creating elegant solutions to highly complex challenges? Do you intrinsically see the importance in every detail? As part of our Silicon Technologies group, you'll help design and manufacture our next-generation, high-performance, power-efficient processor, system-on-chip (SoC). You'll ensure Apple products and services can seamlessly and efficiently handle the tasks that make them beloved by millions. Joining this group means you'll be responsible for crafting and building the technology that fuels Apple's devices. Together, you and your team will enable our customers to do all the things they love with their devices. In this highly visible role, you will be at the center of a semiconductor design effort collaborating with all disciplines, with a critical impact on getting functional products to millions of customers quickly.

As a DFT engineer you will be involved with the complete DFT solution for a design project, you will have responsibilities spanning all aspects of semiconductor design. \n- Developing and implementing DFT architecture\n- Implementing DFT infrastructure \n- Working with the DV team to verify DFT implementations and implement ECOs\n- Generating structural test vectors and analyzing and improving coverage\n- Working with designers on STA, physical, power and logical issues\n- Working with test engineers to bring up test vectors on silicon\n- Running schedules and supporting multi-functional engineering efforts
