About the role

NXP CAEN is seeking a Senior DfT Engineer to contribute to the design and implementation of Design-for-Test (DFT) solutions for complex System-on-Chip (SoC) products for Automotive Market, ensuring high test coverage and efficient manufacturing test flows.

Your Responsibilities:

  • Develop and implement DFT architectures and methodologies for digital and mixed-signal IPs and So Cs, including scan, JTAG, memory BIST, and logic BIST.
  • Perform DFT insertion and verification using industry-standard EDA tools.
  • Generate test patterns (e.g., ATPG, BIST patterns) and ensure their effectiveness in achieving target fault coverage.
  • Analyze test coverage reports and work with design teams to identify and resolve DFT-related design issues.
  • Collaborate with verification and test engineering teams to define and validate manufacturing test plans.
  • Debug silicon test failures and provide support for production ramp-up.
  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of DFT methodologies and flows.
  • Document DFT specifications, implementation details, and test plans.

Your Profile:

  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering,

  • Proven experience (7+ years) in DFT design and verification for complex So Cs.

  • Strong understanding of various DFT techniques (Scan, JTAG, MBIST, LBIST, Boundary Scan).

  • Proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools for DFT insertion, ATPG, and fault simulation (e.g., Tessent, Synopsys DFT Compiler, Cadence Modus, Synopsys Z01X).

  • Solid understanding of digital design principles and ASIC/SoC design flow.

  • Experience with Security and Safety is a plus.

  • Experience with scripting languages (e.g., Tcl, Python, Perl) for automation.

  • Familiarity with semiconductor manufacturing test processes is a plus.

  • Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.

  • Ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.

  • Fluency in English is required.
