# Principal DFT Engineer

JOB OVERVIEW Arm’s Solutions group DFT team implements DFT for test-chips and hard-macros to prove Arm's soft IP power, performance, area, and functionality within the context of a SoC using the latest DFT techniques and process technologies. We closely collaborate with RTL, Verification, Physical Implementation, and Test engineering teams throughout the life cycle of a project, from an early investigation stage all the way through tape-out and silicon test/characterization on ATE. RESPONSIBILITIES Architect, implement, and validate innovative DFT techniques on test chips as well as hard macros. Insert DFT logic into SoC style designs at the RTL level and at the Synthesis gate level, validate all features, and generate ATE targeted test patterns to be run on silicon. Work closely with front-end design and verification teams on DFT RTL level insertion, back-end synthesis, place-and-route, and static-timing-analysis teams on gate level insertion and timing closure, and Test and Debug teams on silicon characterization and validation. REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE Proven ability in Design for Test ,Experience coding Verilog RTL Experience with TCL and/or Perl, and proficiency in Unix/
