Be a member of the team that plays a significant role in ensuring the quality of Connectivity SoCs through structured DFT, Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) and Memory Built-In Self-Test (MBIST) techniques.
Primary responsibilities
- Interface with design team to ensure DFT design rules and coverages are met.
- Generating high-quality manufacturing ATPG test patterns for stuck-at (SAF), transition fault (TDF) models through the use of on-chip test compression techniques.
- MBIST verification (including repair), test pattern generation through Mentor tool.
- ATPG (SAF, TDF) and MBIST verification using unit delay and min/max timing corner simulations.
- Work with the Product/Test engineering teams on the delivery of manufacturing test patterns for ATE.
- Responsible for supporting post silicon debug effort, issue resolution.
- Responsible for Diagnostic tools for ATPG, MBIST and bring-up on ATE.
- Developing, enhancing and maintaining scripts as necessary
