Job Description
Senior Design-for-Test Engineer at K2 Space developing DFT architecture and ensuring silicon success. Collaborating with design, verification, and physical design teams to optimize test coverage.
Responsibilities:
- Define and implement DFT architecture for mixed-signal SoCs, including scan, MBIST, LBIST, and boundary scan.
- Lead RTL-level DFT insertion, scan chain insertion and optimization, test point insertion, and low-power DFT methodologies.
- Own ATPG flow development and execution by generating high-quality stuck-at, transition, and path delay test patterns. Drive coverage closure and pattern optimization and debug pattern failure and silicon correlation.
- Develop and integrate DFT strategies for mixed-signal blocks, including wrapper-based approaches, and analog test interfaces and BIST solutions.
- Collaborate with RTL, DV, and PD teams to ensure clean DFT integration at RTL and gate-level, and timing and physical constraints alignment (scan reordering, compression, etc.).
- Drive DFT verification and signoff, including Scan/ATPG coverage metrics, DRC/Lint checks (DFT rule compliance), gate-level simulation and pattern validation.
- Support bring-up and silicon debug activities by analyzing tester failures, yield issues, and ATPG pattern correlation with silicon behavior.
- Contribute to methodology development, automation, and flow improvements.
Requirements:
- B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering or related field.
- 7+ years of experience in DFT for complex SoCs.
- Strong hands-on experience with RTL DFT insertion (scan, compression, test points) and ATPG tools and flows.
- Deep understanding of scan architectures, compression techniques, fault models (stuck-at, transition, bridging, path delay), coverage analysis and closure strategies.
- Experience with low-power DFT techniques.
- Familiarity with mixed-signal integration challenges and test methodologies.
- Strong debugging skills across RTL, gate-level, and silicon.
Benefits:
- Comprehensive benefits package including paid time off
- Medical/dental/vision coverage
- Life insurance
- Paid parental leave
- Many other perks
