Job Description

ASIC Engineering Technical Lead focused on Design-for-Test, leading DFT solutions for next-generation ASICs. Responsible for implementation of test architectures and silicon validation at Cisco.

Responsibilities:

  • leading development of DFT solutions for next-generation ASICs
  • Lead implementation of SSN, hierarchical test flow DFT architectures, including scan insertion, compression/decompression logic, memory BIST, and logic BIST
  • Generate and deliver ATPG test pattern for stuck-at, transition, cell aware and path delay fault models
  • drive scan-based diagnosis methodology for Silicon failure debug
  • provide post-silicon testing and validation support
  • evaluate design readiness for scan insertion through RTL and physical design Scan Design Rule Check (DRC) tools
  • Integration and verification of Design for Test (DFT) fabrics and IP within Subsystems
  • Perform simulation runs and debug for non-timing and back annotated timing (SDF) gate level simulations
  • Develop test scripts, automate processes, and analyze data using programming languages such as Python, Tcl, or C++

Requirements:

  • Bachelors + 8 years of related experience, or Masters + 6 years of related experience, or PhD + 3 years of related experience
  • Prior experience working with ASICs
  • Prior experience in scan insertion and DFT setup, integration and validation
  • Prior experience implementing DFT architectures—including scan insertion, compression/decompression logic, and memory/logic BIST.
  • 10+ years of experience working with ASICs (preferred)
  • 10+ years of experience in scan insertion and DFT setup, integration and validation (preferred)
  • Experience driving ASIC DFT execution from concept through tapeout (preferred)
  • Experience working with ATE testers and test teams (preferred)
  • RTL experience to understand and debugging issues pertaining to DFT (preferred)
  • Ability to solve complex problems including clock domain crossings (preferred)
  • Familiar with advanced silicon process and technology nodes for high speed and low power consumption (preferred)
  • Strong implementation or integration of design blocks using Verilog/System Verilog (preferred)

Benefits:

  • medical, dental and vision insurance
  • a 401(k) plan with a Cisco matching contribution
  • paid parental leave
  • short and long-term disability coverage
  • basic life insurance
