Job description

Tesla’s Silicon Development Group is looking for a Design-for-Test (DFT) Design Verification Engineer to work on custom ASICs. You will drive state of the art in the area of testability and contribute to product coverage and quality by verifying the DFT features pre-silicon and by delivering test content for post-silicon.

What You’ll Do

• Create Verilog/System Verilog/UVM test benches to verify various DFT features in RTL such as SSN, compressed and uncompressed scan, memory BIST, JTAG, and boundary scan at block and SoC-level.
• Verify top-level features such as power-on self-test, clock observation, clock stop and scan dump.
• Run DV regressions & analyze coverage, triage & debug failures.
• Run gate level simulations.
• Work with the RTL designers on identifying design fixes as needed.
• Work with test engineers on delivering pre-Si DV testcases for silicon bring up.
• Participate in silicon bring up and post silicon ATE correlation.

What You’ll Bring

• Knowledge of testability techniques and features (1149.1, 1149.6, 1687, 1500, Scan, Built-in-Self-Test, Loop-Back etc.) covering digital logic domain, embedded memories and PHY/IOs.
• JTAG/1500/1687 networks and languages BSDL, ICL and PDL.
• Experience in general design verification methodology, regressions, simulation and debug tools.
• Expertise in Verilog or System-Verilog.
• Working knowledge of scripting languages such as TCL, python (or another scripting language such as Perl).
• Experience in triaging regressions, debugging, and resolving down to RTL or Testbench issues.
• Degree in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience with evidence of exceptional abilities in DFT verification.

Compensation and Benefits

Along with competitive pay, as a full-time Tesla employee, you are eligible for the following benefits at day 1 of hire:

• Aetna PPO and HSA plans > 2 medical plan options with $0 payroll deduction.
• Family-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefits.
• Dental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both have options with a $0 paycheck contribution.
• Company Paid (Health Savings Account) HSA Contribution when enrolled in the High Deductible Aetna medical plan with HSA.
• Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA).
• 401(k) with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and other financial benefits.
• Company paid Basic Life, AD&D, short-term and long-term disability insurance.
• Employee Assistance Program.
• Sick and Vacation time (Flex time for salary positions), and Paid Holidays.
• Back-up childcare and parenting support resources.
• Voluntary benefits to include: critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident insurance, theft & legal services, and pet insurance.
• Weight Loss and Tobacco Cessation Programs.
• Tesla Babies program.
• Commuter benefits.
• Employee discounts and perks program.

Expected Compensation: $104,000 - $264,000/annual salary + cash and stock awards + benefits.
