Digital Design Engineer, DFT
Analog DevicesJob Title
Digital Design Engineer, DFT
Role Summary
Design and verify DFT (design-for-test) architectures and implementations for ASIC/SoC products within Analog Devices' digital design teams. Work spans DFT specification, scan/ATPG insertion, compression, and pre/post-silicon debug.
Position requires collaboration with product teams and occasional onsite travel (~10%).
Experience Level
Entry-level / Early career - requires approximately 2 years of directly related ASIC/SoC DFT experience.
Responsibilities
Primary day-to-day responsibilities include:
- Define DFT specifications and architecture; implement using modern methodologies and tools.
- Perform scan insertion and ATPG flow integration across product lines.
- Implement DFT compression and on-chip clock control insertion.
- Develop high-coverage, low-power, low-test-time scan patterns.
- Execute pre- and post-silicon verification and debug, including gate-level simulation with SDF.
- Collaborate across teams and work independently as required.
Requirements
Must-have skills and experience:
- ~2 years of ASIC/SoC DFT experience, including hands-on scan insertion and ATPG tools.
- Practical experience with DFT compression insertion and on-chip clock control insertion.
- Experience with gate-level simulation (zero delay) and SDF back-annotation.
- Solid understanding of DFT architecture, planning, and failure analysis.
- Proficient scripting in Perl, Python or Tcl.
- Strong communication skills and ability to work in cross-functional teams.
Nice-to-have:
- Experience with Tessent DFT tools.
- Familiarity with IEEE 1149 / JTAG, LBIST, MBIST.
- Experience with advanced DFT topics: low power techniques, SSN, fault grading.
Education Requirements
Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field is specified as a minimum qualification.
