Full time - Multiple Levels - Austin and Santa Clara
Nuvacore is building ground-up high performance, low-power CPU for next-generation compute workloads. As DFT engineers within the CPU team you will be responsible for test related pre-silicon and post-silicon activities. We will be delivering a DFT architecture which aligns with the projects industry leading power, performance, and area.

THE ROLE
As a CPU DFT Engineer, you will participate in the following areas:

Defining and implementing area and power efficient DFT architecture while collaborating with design, STA and PD

Develop scan and BIST insertion flows, implement DFT registers in design blocks

Completing DFT architecture specifications

Review and integrate third party IPs into DFT architecture

Define verification plans for DFT features

Review DFT coverage for scan and MBIST

Verification of DFT features in RTL and gates, and power aware simulations

Generate test content for silicon bringup, and support silicon bringup activities including yield analysis

REQUIREMENTS - MUST TO HAVE





BS or MS with 7 years experience in DFT or DFT verification

Scan or MBIST with industry standard EDA tools, or experience with DFT verification flows

For scan role, able to define scan insertion, scan compression, and clking requirements, and define intest and extest modes

For MBIST role, be very familiar with memory repair, and repair interaction with functional operation

Strong understanding of JTAG, IEEE 1500 and IEEE 1687

Experience with Verilog RTL and gate level netlists, including running and debugging simulations

Strong communication skills and ability to work with cross functional teams

REQUIREMENTS - NICE TO HAVE

Using DFT features to support system debug

Leveraging AI tools to accelerate DFT work flows

Porting test content and supporting silicon bringup on ATE platforms

Experience in perl, python, or TCL

$140,000 - $250,000 a year
