Senior AI Silicon DFT Architect

Unconventional, Inc.; United States; A distancia; USD 180.000 - 290.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Unconventional, Inc. is seeking a Member of Technical Staff, DFT Engineer, to join our R&D team at the forefront of energy-efficient AI hardware.

You will own testability, drive DFT architectures, and ensure robust verification for complex digital and mixed-signal blocks across cutting-edge nodes. The role demands 10+ years in digital DFT, expertise in scan compression, MBIST, ATPG, STA, and strong scripting skills.

Formación

• Bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or related field.
• 10+ years of industry experience in digital DFT and test architecture, with tapeouts on modern process nodes (7nm/5nm or newer).
• Deep expertise in scan compression, MBIST generation, fault modeling (stuck-at, transition, path delay), and ATPG.
• Strong understanding of physical design challenges in advanced nodes and their impact on test reliability.
• Expertise in STA and timing closure for complex designs in shift and capture test modes.
• Mastery of standard EDA CAD tool suites for DFT implementation and vector generation.
• Strong scripting skills (Tcl, Python, or Perl).
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with vendor/outsourcing experience.

Responsabilidades

• Lead DFT architecture and implementation for large-scale SoC designs.
• Drive hierarchical DFT methodologies to optimize runtime and capacity in test.
• Interface with foundries to analyze defect densities and improve yield for test chips.
• Develop DFT for 2.5D/3D multi-stacked die packaging across die-to-die interfaces.
• Work on analog macro DFT integration and novel test strategies for mixed-signal blocks.
• Drive test coverage, test time, and yield targets in collaboration with architects.
• Own ATPG, ATGP vector validation, fault simulation, and STA timing closure for test modes.
• Develop automation for testability in the design flow and engage partners for AI tool assistance.
