Job summary

Blue Origin seeks a Principal ASIC DFT Designer to own test architecture for the TeraWave SOC program. You will define strategies, implement scan and compression, and deliver silicon test vectors with leadership across teams.

This role shapes test quality and manufacturability from spec to silicon bring up. The candidate brings 10+ years of DFT experience, strong knowledge of DC/AC scan, memory BIST, and hands-on expertise with Tessent, DFTMAX, or Modus.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• Minimum 10 years of experience in design for test for complex digital SOCs.
• Experience defining DFT architecture and specifications for large multi-block SOC designs.
• Experience with DC and AC scan design and memory built in self test implementation.
• Experience generating ATPG patterns for automated test equipment and debugging ATE patterns.

Responsibilities

• Define DFT architecture and test strategy for large multi-block SOC designs.
• Author DFT specifications covering scan, compression, boundary scan, and test access mechanisms.
• Implement scan chain insertion, test clock control, and on chip compression logic.
• Design memory and logic built in self test infrastructure for embedded memories and logic.
• Generate and validate DFT vectors for silicon bring up and production test programs.
• Debug ATE pattern failures and drive resolution with design and product engineering teams.
• Support defect analysis and yield improvement using test coverage and silicon failure data.
• Review test coverage and DFT timing metrics with physical design and verification teams.
