Staff SoC DFT Engineer, HBM

Job Description

Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Own SoC‑level design for test (DFT) architecture and implementation, including scan, memory built‑in self‑test (MBIST), logic built‑in self‑test (LBIST) where applicable, boundary scan (Joint Test Action Group, JTAG), and test access architectures for HBM base‑die designs.
• Define and drive DFT architecture early in the design cycle, ensuring alignment with SoC integration, floorplanning, timing, power, and physical design requirements.
• Implement and integrate DFT logic at block, subsystem, and full‑chip levels while partnering closely with register‑transfer level (RTL) design and SoC integration teams.
• Execute and sign off DFT flows, including linting, clock‑domain crossing (CDC) checks, DFT rule checks, automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) readiness, and coverage closure.
• Collaborate with physical design teams to optimize DFT solutions for placement, routing, timing closure, and design rule check/layout versus schematic (DRC/LVS) signoff.
• Work with verification, product engineering, test, probe, and manufacturing teams to ensure testability, diagnosability, smooth pre‑silicon debug, and post‑silicon bring‑up.
• Partner with computer‑aided design (CAD) and methodology teams to standardize and improve DFT flows, contribute to cross‑group technical reviews, mentor engineers as appropriate, and drive innovation for future HBM generations.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Strong hands‑on experience with SoC design for test (DFT) architecture and implementation, including scan insertion, MBIST/LBIST concepts, boundary scan (JTAG), and ATPG.
• Experience working across full RTL‑to‑GDS SoC flows and collaborating with synthesis, static timing analysis (STA), and physical design teams.
• Proficiency using industry‑standard electronic design automation (EDA) tools from Siemens, Synopsys, and/or Cadence for DFT and implementation.
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Seven or more years of relevant experience in SoC design, DFT, or implementation for complex digital application‑specific integrated circuits (ASICs) or SoCs.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with large, complex SoCs that integrate multiple intellectual property (IP) blocks and subsystems.
• Strong RTL debugging, design analysis, and problem‑solving skills.
• Experience using scripting languages such as Python, Tcl, or Perl for flow automation.
• Ability to communicate clearly and collaborate effectively across global, cross‑functional teams.
• Familiarity with memory systems such as dynamic random‑access memory (DRAM), high‑bandwidth memory (HBM), and related JEDEC specifications.
