Job Description:

The Role and Impact:

As a DFT Design Engineer, you will play a key role in shaping Intel's cutting-edge silicon products, contributing to their seamless performance and robust testability. Your efforts will directly impact Intel's ability to deliver high-quality, high-performance solutions to our global customers. This role offers the opportunity to work on innovative technologies, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and drive advancements in Design for Test (DFT) methodologies, ensuring Intel maintains its leadership position in the semiconductor industry.

• Key Responsibilities
• Develop logic design, register transfer level (RTL) coding, and simulation for DFT features such as SCAN, MBIST, and BSCAN.
• Provide DFT timing closure support and develop test content for manufacturing.
• Collaborate on the definition of architecture and microarchitecture features for blocks, subsystems, and system-on-chips (So Cs) under DFT.
• Create high-volume manufacturing (HVM) content to support rapid product bring-up and efficient production ramp on automated test equipment (ATE).
• Write and generate RTL and structural code to integrate DFT, applying strategies and tools to meet power, performance, area, timing, and quality goals.
• Optimize designs to reduce test time, vector memory, and defect per million (DPM) rates while ensuring design integrity.
• Review and contribute to verification plans, driving the verification of DFT designs to meet architectural specifications.
• Resolve RTL test failures and ensure the correctness of implemented features.
• Integrate DFT blocks into functional intellectual property (IP) and SoC designs, supporting customers with high-quality IP integration.
• Partner with post-silicon and manufacturing teams to verify DFT features on silicon, support debugging, and document improvements.
• Develop and implement strategies to achieve high test coverage and ensure production quality standards.

Qualifications:

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or BS degree in Electronics engineering with VLSI expertise, or a related field.
• 10+ years of experience in DFT with a Bachelor's degree, 8+ years with a Master's degree, or 2 years with a PhD.
• Proficiency in DFT tools and techniques, including SCAN, MBIST, BSCAN, and TAP methodologies.
• Expertise in RTL coding and simulation.
• Hands-on experience with automatic test equipment (ATE) and working knowledge of test content generation for high-volume manufacturing.
• Strong understanding of power, performance, area, timing optimization, and defect coverage requirements.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Effective collaboration and communication skills to engage with cross-functional teams.
• Strong problem-solving abilities to tackle complex design challenges.
• Proven ability to drive innovation and continuous improvement in DFT methodologies and processes.
• Passion for learning and contributing to cutting-edge semiconductor technologies.

Join our team and contribute to Intel's mission of delivering world-class products that transform industries and improve lives.
