DFT Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• RTL Design & Implementation

  • Own RTL design for assigned blocks from microarchitecture through synthesis sign-off
  • Develop high-quality, synthesizable Verilog/SystemVerilog with strong attention to PPA
  • Drive design reviews, lint, CDC, and timing closure activities to silicon-ready quality

• Cross-Functional Execution

  • Partner with architecture to translate specifications into implementation-ready microarchitecture
  • Collaborate with verification on testplans, coverage closure, and bug triage
  • Work with DFT and physical design teams on scan, BIST, floorplanning, and timing closure

• Technical Leadership & Quality

  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to design methodology, scripts, and best practices
  • Debug complex pre-silicon and post-silicon issues across RTL, gate-level, and emulation environments
  • Drive structured, data-driven design decisions in support of aggressive tapeout schedules

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 5+ years of digital design experience, including at least one full chip from spec to tapeout
• Strong proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog, RTL coding, and synthesis flows
• Hands-on experience with timing closure, CDC, lint, and low-power design techniques
• Solid understanding of high-speed serial interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, or similar) and SoC integration

Preferred Qualifications

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering
• Experience with PCIe Gen5/Gen6, CXL, UALink, UCIe, or Ethernet MAC/PCS designs
• Familiarity with formal verification, emulation, or assertion-based methodologies
• Background in advanced process nodes (7nm, 5nm, or below)
• Strong debug skills across pre-silicon and post-silicon environments
