DFT Engineer, Automotive Robotics
TenstorrentJob Title
DFT Engineer, Automotive Robotics
Role Summary
As a DFT Engineer on the Automotive Robotics team you will define and deliver DFT strategies for multi-chiplet SiP automotive SoCs. You will collaborate with silicon design, DFT, OSAT partners, test engineering, and customers to enable high-volume, automotive-grade production.
Work includes DFx architecture, test planning, ATPG and coverage analysis, implementation verification, and post-silicon support to meet performance, quality, and safety targets.
Experience Level
Senior — typically 10+ years of relevant industry experience; candidates will be assessed for level during the interview process.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include DFx strategy, test planning, and cross-functional coordination.
- Define DFx strategy for multi-chiplet packages from architecture through high-volume production.
- Coordinate test, yield, and quality efforts across internal teams, OSAT partners, and customers.
- Plan, implement, and verify MBIST, LBIST, and IST.
- Implement JTAG, scan compression, and ASST solutions.
- Perform ATPG runs and test coverage analysis; optimize test content and insertion flows.
- Translate system and safety requirements into constraints on package architecture and DFT.
- Support test engineering with pattern planning, debugging, and post-silicon test activities.
- Capture lessons learned and feed them into next-generation SiP architecture and DFT strategy.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience.
- Proven experience with industry-standard ATPG and DfX insertion CAD tools.
- Fluent in RTL coding for DfX logic (lock-up latches, clock gates, scan anchors).
- Strong knowledge of fault models: stuck-at, transition, path-delay, IDDQ, and cell-aware models.
- Experience with MBIST, LBIST, IST planning, implementation, and verification.
- Experience implementing JTAG, scan compression, and ASST; performing ATPG and coverage analysis.
- Experience defining DfX strategy for multi-chiplet SiP or complex multi-die packages.
Nice-to-have:
- Exposure to post-silicon testing, tester pattern debug, and fault campaigns.
- Experience with low-power designs and multiple clock domains.
- Automotive-grade production experience and familiarity with safety requirements.
Education Requirements
Not specified.
