Job Description:
The Role and Impact
As a DFT Design Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in shaping Intel's silicon solutions. Your contributions will directly influence the quality and efficiency of Intel's products, ensuring seamless integration of Design for Test (DFT) capabilities in cutting-edge designs. This role offers the opportunity to collaborate with architecture, design, verification, and manufacturing teams, contributing to the creation of industry-leading SoC and IP solutions. Your work will drive innovation, enhance test coverage, and optimize the power, performance, and area of complex designs, enabling Intel's leadership in silicon design and manufacturing.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop logic design and register transfer level (RTL) coding to support DFT features such as SCAN, MBIST, and BSCAN.
- Provide timing closure support and test content generation for manufacturing.
- Collaborate in defining architecture and microarchitecture features for blocks, subsystems, and SoCs under DFT.
- Optimize designs to meet power, performance, area, timing, and test coverage goals while adhering to design integrity standards.
- Write, integrate, and verify RTL and structural code for DFT functionality.
- Drive verification efforts to ensure architecture and microarchitecture specifications are achieved.
- Support IP and SoC integration to ensure high-quality implementation of DFT blocks.
- Develop high-volume manufacturing (HVM) content for rapid bring-up and production on automatic test equipment (ATE).
- Collaborate with post-silicon and manufacturing teams to verify features on silicon and document learnings for continuous improvement.
- Drive high test coverage through structural and IP-specific tests to achieve product quality and defect-per-million (DPM) objectives.
