Staff Engineer I - DFT

The Opportunity

We're looking for the Wavemakers of tomorrow.

Alphawave Semi enables tomorrow’s future by accelerating the critical data communication at the heart of our digital world – from seamless video streaming to AI to the metaverse and much more. Our technology powers product innovation in the most data-demanding industries today, including data centers, networking, storage, artificial intelligence, 5G wireless infrastructure, and autonomous vehicles. Customers partner with us for mission-critical data communication, our innovative technologies, and our proven track record. Together, we enable the next generation of digital technology.

As a DFT engineer at Alphawave Semi, you will be working on end-to-end Custom Silicon Design cycle, from DFT-architecture planning to delivering qualified Si parts to our customers. You will be using some the best industry-standard tools and Alphawave specific workflows to implement full chip level advanced Scan and MBIST insertion, verification, and pattern generation. You will collaborate closely with customers, working hand-in-hand with RTL/PD teams and supporting Test/Product Engineering teams.

What You'Ll Do:

• Acting as a member of Alphawave central DFT methodology group responsible for developing, maintaining and supporting flows across all company business units and projects
• Architecting methodologies and flows for an integrated, RTL centric "shift left" DFT environment across company IPs, ASICs and SoC designs.
• Writing and automating RTL for advanced DFT and DFD features not currently supported by the EDA vendors
• Developing automated verification test bench and sequence creation for DFT IP. Architecting end-2-end verification solutions from static design checks, through formal and sequence-based verification.
• Building IP/block and SoC level scan insertion flows and scripting ATPG retargeting procedures. Creating automated QoR checks for implementation quality control.
• Writing static timing constraints, creating waivers and devising flows for bullet proof timing checks

What You'Ll Need:

• Bachelor's degree in engineering science, Electrical and Computer Engineering or Computer Science
• 8+ years of experience in complex SoC designs in RTL, DFT or FE capacity. Candidates with less experience may be considered for other senior technical roles.
• Vast experience with various DFT EDA tools from Siemens, SNPS and Cadence
• Good knowledge and understanding in Verilog/VHDL and SystemVerilog
• Exposure to CAD and automation. Good exposure for using de-Perl techniques in creating generic codes. Knowledge of TCL and Python is a plus.
• Extensively experienced with main DFT standards such as JTAG (1149.1/1149.6/1500), iJTAG (1687) and BIST techniques (memory BIST, logic BIST, interconnect BISTs)
• Track record in integrating custom made DFT logic for complex SoCs (System-On-Chip) and CoWoS (Chip-On-Wafer-On-Substrate) designs is highly desirable.
• Experience in SoC and IP/Block level scan insertion and ATPG, simulation of zero delay and SDF annotated test sequences.
