THE ROLE:
Looking for a diagnose expert, with scan DFT knowledge, to improve/enhance debug and diagnosis capabilities and implement features to meet new diagnosis challenges. In the role of a PMTS, you willconduct electrical/physical fault isolation by generating diagnosis patterns and collaborating with design, verification, test engineering, and yield analysis groups.
THE PERSON:
Proficient in IC design/automation, silicon product validation, characterization, or debug/diagnosis, in particular using scan DFT techniques. Experiences of using commercial tools for ATPG and pattern validations. Have strong problem solving, communication, and teamwork skills. Motivated and proactive,willing to adapt and learn new techniques.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Perform post-silicon electrical/physical fault isolation.
- Work with verification and test team to make diagnosable tests.
- Build layout databases for diagnosis and cross-probing.
- Generate scan diagnosis tests for fault isolation.
- Automate volume diagnosis and data analysis.
- Develop and apply diagnosis patterns for Soft-Defect-Location or Laser-Voltage-Imaging.
- Work with design and DFX team for diagnosable designs.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
- Familiar with C/C++ or Verilog
- Fluent in scripting (Perl/Python/TCL)
- Experience in IC process technology, ATE, yield analysis or memory design, layout design, FPGA design tools (Xilinx Vivado) or any validation tools (VCS, Caliber, Primetime).
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
Degrees in Electrical Engineering, with knowledge of IC design/verification/DFT (RTL, circuit, physical), and semiconductor physics.
LOCATION: San Jose, CA
