Job Overview:
Arm’s DFT methodology team works on DFT for projects, including soft IP, hard macros, testchips and physical library IP across all the Arm design sites. In addition, this team builds and drives DFT methodology and flows throughout all of Arm and works to get support from EDA vendors to support our methodologies.
Responsibilities:
Support DFT on multiple types of projects in multiple design centers and apply innovative DFT techniques and affect the content of forthcoming CPU, GPU, ML and systems IP, some years before they appear in mainstream products. This candidate will also contribute to DFT methodology by crafting flows, evaluating tool capabilities, helping other specialists on projects, detailing work through documentation, working with EDA vendors and propagating DFT methodologies. This position may also include meeting with customers for DFT training or to address DFT concerns.
Required Skills and Experience :
- Experience with Perl, TCL, and/or C programming
- Proficiency in Unix/Linux environments
- Knowledge of at-speed testing, test insertion and test coverage assessment, test pattern development, scan compression, Memory BIST, Logic BIST, JTAG, IJTAG, fault simulation, debug, verification, designing and conducting experiments/tool evaluations.
- Experience with Siemens, Cadence and/or Synopsys DFT tools
“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience :
- Ability to build and deploy generic DFT flows
- Familiarity with IEEE standards such as 1500, 1149.1, 1687 and 1838
- Familiarity with supporting silicon into volume production
- Gained some exposure to digital ASIC front and backend design & verification processes
- Hands-on Synthesis and Static Timing Analysis (STA) experience
- Familiarity with current mobile SOC architectures and low power design practices would be an advantage
- Understanding of Functional Safety as it applies to DFT
- Confirmed understanding of Siemens MBIST and LBIST tools
- Experience in using simulation and formal verification tools
In Return:
We are offering a hybrid approach to home and office working to provide an adaptable experience for all employees and to promote a strong collaborative environment.
