DFT Engineer

DFT Engineer Overview

Join an innovative British AI company that is at the forefront of developing next-generation AI hardware aimed at addressing significant challenges in modern computing. This role as a DFT Engineer involves working on a cutting-edge AI accelerator architecture designed to enhance high-performance computing capabilities.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to the design-for-test (DFT) architecture of a complex multi-core AI accelerator system on chip (SoC).
• Integrate DFT methodologies and tools into the overall ASIC design process.
• Implement scan insertion, scan compression, and related test logic.
• Generate, analyze, and debug automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) patterns to ensure structural fault coverage.
• Support the implementation of memory built-in self-test (MBIST) for large embedded memory arrays.
• Collaborate closely with Physical Design teams to ensure effective scan chain implementation and achieve timing closure.
• Develop scripting and automation solutions to enhance DFT efficiency and workflows.
• Assist in silicon bring-up, manufacturing testing, and post-silicon debugging.
• Work with Product and Test Engineering teams to facilitate automated test equipment (ATE) bring-up, production testing, and yield enhancement.

Requirements

• A degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience in design-for-test (DFT), digital integrated circuit (IC) design, or ASIC development.
• A solid understanding of scan architecture, ATPG, MBIST, and digital testing methodologies.
• Familiarity with industry-standard electronic design automation (EDA) tools.
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Tcl, or similar.

Benefits

• Opportunity to work on innovative AI silicon that has a significant real-world impact.
• Engagement in a highly collaborative engineering culture.
• Exposure to the complete ASIC development lifecycle, from architecture to silicon bring-up.
• Collaboration with experienced professionals across hardware, software, and systems engineering.
• Possibility to take ownership of significant technical challenges while advancing your career.
