Job summary

Raspberry Pi Foundation is seeking a DFT Engineer to join our ASIC team in Cambridge. You will create, implement, and verify DFT solutions across full silicon flow, from specification through design and verification to production.

You will balance test coverage, cost, and time to market, while supporting implementation and sign-off and mentoring colleagues. The role requires hands-on experience with Tessent DFT tool flow, ATPG/MBIST, and IJTAG, plus strong scripting and IP test skills.

Qualifications

• Define a DFT strategy at chip, subsystem, and IP level with pragmatic trade-offs.
• Experience with Tessent DFT tool flow for MBIST, EDT, SSN, IJTAG, and IP test using ICL/PDL.
• Verify DFT structures and debug related issues.
• Support DFT through implementation and sign-off, including timing constraints and debugging power issues.
• Mentor teammates and share knowledge.

Responsibilities

• Create, implement, and verify DFT solutions for future ASIC designs.
• Balance test coverage, cost, and time to market.
• Collaborate with chip teams to resolve DFT timing and power issues.
• Mentor team members and share activities with the wider team.
