    Job Description:

    Broadcom’s CSG division is seeking candidates for a Staff DFT engineer position. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing and implementing DFx (Design for Test/debug & manufacturability) solutions for Digital, mixed signal IPs. Candidate will also drive/push state of the art in the areas of testability, debug to enable low DPPM DFx solutions while optimizing the cost for test.

    Responsibilities

    + Own IP DFT architecture, implementation, verification, signoff STA constraints for DFT

    + Optimize DFT architecture for test cost, test power and physical design constraints

    + Deliver optimal retargetable ATPG patterns for usage across business units

    + Collaborate with front-end and backend engineers to implement optimal DFx solutions

    + Support chip teams on IP DFT integration, pattern verification and ATE bring-up

    + Participate in silicon bring-up, characterization, and yield recovery

    Requirements

    + Knowledge of Testability techniques and features (SCAN, Built-in-Self-Tests, boundary scan.) covering digital logic, embedded memories and Serdes PHY/IO’s

    + Scan architectural trade-off, coverage analysis, ATPG pattern generation and verification

    + Experience in implementation of MBIST for memories and knowledge of repair schemes, algorithms

    + Well versed in JTAG standards (1149.1 and 1149.6, 1687) and boundary scan

    + Working knowledge of TCL, perl and shell scripting

    + Hands on experience with Mentor/Siemens DFT Tessent tool suite for DFT insertion is desirable

    + Working knowledge of SERDES, Analog /mixed-signal DFT solutions (like IOBIST, AC boundary scan) is a plus

    + Must be a team player with good verbal and written communication skills.

    + Must be a self-driven engineer with good planning and organizing skills to deliver high quality output in a timely manner.

    + Experience : Bachelor's in Electrical or Computer Science Engineering required with a minimum of 8+ years of relevant industry experience or a Master’s Degree with a minimum of 6+ years of relevant industry experience
