ASIC/SOC DFT Engineer (Silicon Engineering)

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.

ASIC/SOC DFT ENGINEER (SILICON ENGINEERING)

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Responsible for evaluating design readiness for scan insertion through RTL and physical design Scan Design Rule Check (DRC) tools
• Integration and verification of Design for Test (DFT) fabrics and IP within Subsystems
• Running and evaluating scan insertion through synthesis tools and refining scan insertion recipe for maximum coverage
• Run ATPG(Automatic Test Pattern Generation) analysis to ensure quality scan chain construction and meeting basic coverage goals
• Run and debug non-timing and SDF annotated gate level simulations
• Creating ATPG content for use in post-silicon testing and validating that content through gate level simulation
• Collaborate with circuit physical design team, ATPG team and manufacturing team to facilitate high quality scan coverage in silicon

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering or computer science
• 1+ years of professional experience working with ASICs
