DFT Architect

Job Opportunity: DFT Architect – Join an Innovative ASIC Team

Are you an experienced DFT Architect with a passion for cutting-edge technology? This is a unique opportunity to join a highly skilled ASIC team in Cambridge, known for its innovative approach and hands-on product development. As a DFT Architect, you will be part of a collaborative team working on ground-breaking projects at the forefront of ASIC and silicon design, with plenty of scope for professional growth.

Role Overview: This position offers the chance to delve deeply into advanced DFT implementation and verification across diverse silicon technologies. As a DFT Architect, you will play a crucial role in ensuring designs are testable, efficient, and ready for production. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, contributing to the full IC design flow, including RTL design, IP integration, FPGA development, package definition, and test pattern generation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead hands-on DFT implementation, verification, and validation.
• Develop DFT methodologies for enhanced testability and reliability of ASIC designs.
• Ensure effective use of hierarchical DFT, on-chip clocking, and ATPG compression techniques.
• Manage scan insertion and guide synthesis scripts to ensure robust test coverage.
• Create STA DFT constraints, review paths, and set up ATPG for comprehensive testing.
• Work with cutting-edge tools for simulation (behavioural and gate-level) and BIST structures.

Who We're Looking For:

• Proven experience in IC development flows with a focus on DFT.
• Hands-on expertise with modern DFT tools and strong knowledge in partitioning and on-chip clocking.
• Demonstrable experience in ATPG and debugging simulations.
• Proficiency in RTL design and understanding of silicon technologies.

This position requires a minimum of three days per week on-site in Cambridge, enabling close collaboration with experts and access to state-of-the-art facilities.
