Company: Arm

Key Skills:

DFT, MBIST, Serdes, JTAG

Roles and Responsibilities:

- Perform DFT verification of mixed-signal IP blocks in complex SoCs.

- Own verification and debug of DFT features across block and SoC levels.

- Develop, verify, and debug ATE test patterns and drive pattern bring-up on silicon.

- Perform ATE pattern debug and stabilization, including root-cause analysis of simulation-to-silicon and tester-related failures.

- Work extensively with JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) and iJTAG (IEEE 1687) architectures and associated verification flows.

- Develop and maintain PDL (Procedural Description Language) for embedded instruments and iJTAG networks.

- Generate, validate, and debug DFT patterns using Siemens Tessent tools.

- Debug complex pattern, timing, protocol, and DFT infrastructure issues across simulation and ATE environments.

- Collaborate closely with DFT, design, verification, physical design, product engineering, and test engineering teams during pre-silicon and post-silicon phases.





- Drive technical issues independently from initial investigation through root-cause identification and final resolution.

Skills Required:

- 10+ years of hands-on experience in DFT and DFT verification.

- Solid hands-on experience with verification of mixed-signal blocks from a DFT perspective.

- In-depth understanding of ATE architecture, test programs, pattern formats, and pattern execution/debug flows.

Proven experience in

- Loopback test verification for high-speed SERDES blocks such as UCIe, DDR PHY, PCIe/Ethernet, and USB, based on BIST.

- Sensors and calibration procedures.

- Lane repair schemes.

- ATE pattern bring-up and debug.

- Pattern stabilization.

- Failure analysis and root-cause debugging.

- Test-time reduction and optimization.

- Knowledge of SCAN and MBIST is a plus.

- In-depth understanding of JTAG and iJTAG protocols, including IEEE 1149.1 and IEEE 1687.

Education:

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Microelectronics, or a related field, with relevant industry experience.
