Marvell is seeking a Senior Principal Engineer to address the challenges of designing and implementing DFT/Test solutions for complex IP and SOC in custom/compute ASIC/SoC designs, which are critical for driving high compute performance and acceleration in markets such as custom AI, 5G, and 6G.
Requirements
- Direct DFT experience with at least 5 years in the custom chip design business
- Led the DFT execution on several ASICs. Was responsible for all DFT execution functions from architecture definition to tape out through silicon bring-up.
- Hands-on working experience in various stages of DFT-Execution: SCAN/MBIST/Validation/STA/IP-DFX/Post-Silicon Bring-up/Debug
- Thorough knowledge on various DFT/Test architecture solutions and should have been involved in DFT-Architecture definition of at-least two monolithic designs.
- Thorough knowledge on various DFT/Test architecture solutions for 2.5D/3D IC design and should be involved in DFT-Architecture definition of at-least couple of MCM designs.
- Strong fundamentals in digital circuit design and logic design
- Understanding of DFT flows and methodologies and experience with Siemens/Synopsys Tool set (Tessent, Spyglass/Tmax, Genus, Modus, NCSim/DC)
Responsibilities
- The position will be responsible for architecting, leading and implementing DFT/Test on complex IP and SOC for multiple custom/compute ASIC/SoC designs
- The execution involves Design-for-Test architecture definition, implementation of various DFT/DFX features, validation, IP-DFT, STA, pattern generation & post-silicon bring-up and debug for various designs/IPs in Custom/Compute space.
- The responsibility also includes mentoring, guiding and driving a small team of engineers enabling them for scaling across multiple designs.
- The position also involves definition and enhancement of DFT methodologies and tools to be able to benchmark them and enable new methodologies in the domain of DFT/Test.
- The engineer will be executing on existing and new programs.
- Driving DFT architecture and inventing DFT solutions that address new scenarios.
- Driving EDA vendors as part of the DFT execution.
Other
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields and 10-15 years of related professional experience. Master’s degree and/or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields with 5-10 years of experience.
- Excellent team player and can work with different function leaders, across different geographies to define and execute the DFT project to completion.
- Excellent communications skill both verbal and written.
- Scripting skills using Python, PERL, Tcl and C-Shell is plus.
