West Austin Neighborhood Group TX United States ARM Full time
Job Overview:

As a key member of Arm's Solutions group DFT team, you will be responsible for implementing and validating innovative Design for Test (DFT) techniques for System-on-Chip (SOC) and sub-systems. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to support DFT RTL level insertion, synthesis, and scan insertion, place-and-route, and static-timing-analysis and timing closure.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Architect and implement advanced DFT techniques for SOC and sub-systems.
  • Insert DFT logic into SoC and sub-system level and validate all DFT features using industry-standard simulation tools.
  • Collaborate with multi-functional teams to support DFT RTL level insertion, synthesis, and scan insertion, place-and-route, and static-timing-analysis and timing closure.
  • Participate in Automated Test Equipment (ATE) targeted test patterns, validation, and silicon debug.
  • Work closely with Test and product engineering teams on silicon characterization and validation.
Required Skills and Experience:
  • 8+ years of experience in Design for Test (DFT) with expertise in core DFT skills such as Siemens DFT tools, Streaming Scan Network (SSN), Scan compression and insertion, Memory BIST and repair scheme implementation, Logic BIST, JTAG/IJTAG, at-speed test, ATPG, fault simulation, back-annotated gate level verification, silicon debug, memory and scan diagnostics.
  • Experience coding Verilog RTL, TCL, and/or Perl.
  • Experience with Cadence and/or Synopsys DFT and simulation tools.
Nice to Have Skills and Experience:
  • Familiarity with SOC style architectures, including multi-clock domain and low power design practices.
  • Previous experience leading a team of DFT engineers.
  • Familiarity with Arm IP, including Cortex CPUs, Mali GPUs, AMBA protocols, CoreLink interconnects, and CoreSight debug.
  • Background in high design, implementation, and DFT timing constraints.
  • Experience in datacenter chips.
  • Experience with 2.5D and 3D test.
What We Offer:

At Arm, we are proud to have a set of behaviors that reflect our culture and guide our decisions, defining how we work together to defy ordinary and shape outstanding. These behaviors are assessed as part of the recruitment process:

  • Partner and customer focus.
  • Teamwork and communication.
  • Creativity and innovation.
  • Team and personal development.
  • Impact and influence.
  • Deliver on your promises.
