Job description

Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever.

As a Principal SoC DFT Engineer within the Heterogeneous Integration Group (HIG), you will be responsible for the DFT architecture, implementation, and signoff of complex HBM base‑die System‑on‑Chip (SoC) designs.

Responsibilities

• Own SoC‑level DFT implementation, including scan, MBIST, LBIST (as applicable), boundary scan (JTAG), and test access architectures for HBM base‑die designs.
• Drive DFT architecture definition early in the design cycle, ensuring alignment with SoC integration, floor planning, timing, power, and physical design constraints.
• Implement and integrate DFT logic at the block, subsystem, and full‑chip levels, working closely with RTL and integration teams.
• Own DFT flow execution and signoff, including lint, CDC, DFT rule checks, ATPG readiness, and coverage closure.
• Collaborate with physical design teams to ensure DFT solutions are optimized for placement, routing, timing closure, and DRC/LVS signoff.
• Work closely with verification, product engineering, test, probe, and manufacturing teams to ensure testability, diagnosability, and smooth silicon bring‑up.
• Support pre‑silicon debug of DFT‑related issues and assist with post‑silicon bring‑up and yield/debug analysis.
• Partner with CAD and methodology teams to define, improve, and standardize DFT flows across HBM SoC programs.

Required Experience

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 7+ years of relevant experience in SoC design, DFT, or implementation for complex digital ASICs or SoCs.
• Job title and level can scale depending on experience and qualifications.

Successful Candidates For This Position Will Have

• Experience with scan insertion, MBIST/LBIST architectures, JTAG/boundary scan, and ATPG concepts.
• Familiarity with full RTL‑to‑GDS SoC flows, including interaction between DFT, synthesis, STA, and physical design.
• Experience working with large, complex SoCs involving multiple IPs and subsystems.
• Proficiency with industry‑standard EDA tools from Siemens, Synopsys, and/or Cadence for DFT and implementation.
• Familiarity with scripting languages (Python, Tcl, Perl, etc.) for flow automation.

Compensation and Benefits

US base salary range: $146,000.00 - $309,000.00 per year. Additional compensation may include bonuses, equity, and benefits.

Micron benefits include medical, dental, vision plans, income protection, paid family leave, paid time‑off, paid holidays, and a robust benefits program. For more information, visit micron.com/careers/benefits.
