Job summary

Intel Corporation's Neuromorphic Computing Lab is seeking a senior DFT/DFX lead to shape the test, debug, and reliability strategies for Loihi neuromorphic silicon. You will architect DFT solutions across SoC, drive test methodologies, and partner with design teams to enable high-volume production in a hybrid work model.

This role requires deep experience with scan insertion, ATPG, IP ownership, and asynchronous circuit challenges, with a willingness to adopt new tooling and AI-assisted flows to

Qualifications

• Bachelors and 6+ years OR Masters and 4+ years of hands-on DFT experience from architecture to silicon bring-up.
• 6+ years architecting the entire DFT stack including scan insertion, compression and ATPG vector generation.
• 4+ years of direct ownership of IP and SoC-level scan constructs, e.g. boundary scan (JTAG), TAP, BIST/MBIST.
• 1 year of experience in debugging post-silicon and driving circuit changes for testability and reliability improvements.

Responsibilities

• Architect a complete DFT solution at the SoC level, compiling the requirements of both synchronous and asynchronous designs.
• Lead the flow-development for scan-insertion and compression at partition and SoC levels.
• Build a scalable framework spanning EDA tools, RTL and emulation models to generate high-quality test vectors and validate them pre-silicon.
• Collaborate with designers to drive DFT/DFD/DFM features to ensure manufacturing readiness to support HVM.
• Lead silicon power-on, enabling tester content, debugging failures and maintaining any tools/flows that are developed.
