Company Overview
NXP’s Industrial & IoT Edge solutions range from the smallest MCUs to very high-performance processors to provide real-time insights and efficient automation when performance matters most. NXP’s advanced portfolio of edge processing solutions lets developers explore their most creative ideas with confidence, enabling applications across the autonomous home, industrial automation, and personal electronics. NXP is building new teams in Catania to create high impact microcontrollers (MCU) as part of NXP’s intelligent AI at the Edge. This team will include a wide range of engineering talent from analog to SOC digital design. Full product development local will product world class products at a world class pace. This team will include all key engineering disciplines in Design, Architecture, Verification, DfT and Physical Design to produce high performance and quality products.

Position Overview
We are now hiring for an SoC DfT Engineer: SoC DfT Engineer is responsible for designing, implementing, and verifying DFT architectures for complex SoCs. You will work closely with RTL, physical design, and verification teams to ensure robust testability and high-quality silicon. Role will also include working closely with Test Engineers to realize cost-effective and high-quality products.

Job Responsibility




• Define and implement DFT architecture for SoCs (scan, MBIST, LBIST, boundary scan).
• Develop and integrate scan insertion, test compression, and ATPG patterns.
• Implement memory BIST and logic BIST strategies.
• Collaborate with RTL and physical design teams for DFT insertion and timing closure.
• Perform DFT verification at RTL and gate-level simulations.
• Work with ATE teams for test program development and silicon bring-up.
• Optimize test coverage, pattern count, and test time.

Your Profile
• Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering.
• Strong expertise in DFT methodologies: Scan, MBIST, LBIST, JTAG.
• Hands-on experience with industry standard ATPG tools.
• Proficiency in UPF/CPF-based low-power DFT.
• Knowledge of fault models (stuck-at, transition, path delay).
• Familiarity with physical design constraints for DFT.
• Experience in silicon debug and ATE bring-up.
• Past experience with SoC level DFT.
• Exposure to high-speed interfaces and DFT for mixed-signal blocks.
• Strong problem-solving and communication skills.

Commitment
At NXP, we recognize we can be a powerful change agent as we continue to deliver innovative solutions that advance a more sustainable future. We remain steadfast in our commitment to sustainability and making measurable year-on-year progress. Also, we aim to create an inclusive work environment and we will not tolerate racism, discrimination or harassment of any kind. We have programs in place focused on diversity, inclusion and equality.
