Senior Technical Staff Engineer

Senior Technical Staff Engineer - Architect (DFT Lead) Microchip Technology Inc. is seeking a Senior Technical Staff Engineer - Architect (DFT Lead) based in San Jose, CA. The DFT lead works with teams across the FPGA business unit to implement testability features into the combined FPGA and ASIC SOC, from initial investigation and feasibility to tape-out, silicon validation, and characterization of test methods on Automatic Test Equipment (ATE). Responsibilities Manage DFT requirements across architecture, design, and product teams to ensure coverage, die cost, test cost, and DFT integration requirements are met at the block and full chip level. Define, implement, and validate DFT features at the FPGA full chip and sub-systems level. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support DFT insertion, synthesis, scan insertion, place-and-route, static timing analysis, timing closure, power analysis during test, and quantifying full chip test coverage. Establish and maintain DFT design and insertion guidelines and documents best practices for all development teams to follow. Stay current with emerging technologies and methodologies in DFT and incorporate them into the FPGA to continuously improve test cost and quality. Work with Test and Product engineers to support development of firmware-targeted test patterns, ATPG and mBIST test feature validation processes, and silicon debug activities. Communicate project status and progress to chip lead and engineering management. Qualifications Bachelors or Masters in engineering field 15+ years of DFT engineering experience through DFT pre- and post-silicon cycles Experience in creating and implementing complex FPGA/SoC DFT architecture in advanced technology nodes Expert level knowledge about IJTAG and JTAG test access, Streaming Scan Network (SSN), scan compression and insertion, SAF/TDF/PDF ATPG, memory BIST and repair, logic BIST, MISRs, at-speed testing of SoC/FPGA, fault simulation, quantifying full chip test coverage, DFT mode timing constraints and power control during test Familiar with DFT verification, silicon debug, memory and scan diagnostics Experience in PHY, high-speed IO, digital communication and functional test development Good understanding of Verilog, synthesis, physical implementation and STA Good understanding of verification methodology Preferred Skills And Experience Knowledge of FPGA design flow Knowledge of embedded design and firmware methodology Understanding Arm or RISC IPs, high-speed interfaces such as PAM4 SerDes, DDR4/5, etc. Experience in leading multiple FPGA/SoC projects Travel Time 0% - 25% Physical Attributes Feeling, Hearing, Other, Seeing, Supervises Others, Talking, Works Alone, Works Around Others Physical Requirements 15% walking, 15% standing, 70% sitting, 100% indoors; Usual business hours Pay Range We offer a total compensation package that ranks among the best in the industry.
