About Rivian

Rivian is on a mission to keep the world adventurous forever. This goes for the emissions-free Electric Adventure Vehicles we build, and the curious, courageous souls we seek to attract.

As a company, we constantly challenge what's possible, never simply accepting what has always been done. We reframe old problems, seek new solutions and operate comfortably in areas that are unknown. Our backgrounds are diverse, but our team shares a love of the outdoors and a desire to protect it for future generations.

Role Summary

As a DFT Engineer you will be responsible for defining, implementing and deploying advanced Design-for-Test (DFT) methodologies including Scan, MBIST, JTAG/iJTAG, mixed-signal IO tests. You will work with Front-end RTL Teams, Physical design team and Productization team. In this role you will own DFT insertion, verification, DRC check, and test coverage closure from RTL/netlist through post-silicon debug.

Responsibilities

• Lead implementation of DFT architectures, including scan insertion, compression/decompression logic, memory BIST, logic BIST, Functional Safety(FuSa) and Analog IP Tests.
• Responsible for evaluating design readiness for scan insertion through RTL and physical design Scan Design Rule Check (DRC) tools
• Integration and verification of Design for Test (DFT) fabrics and IP within Subsystems
• Develop test scripts, automate processes, and analyze data using programming languages such as Perl, Python, Tcl
• Own ATPG tools and methodologies, including generating patterns for stuck-at, transition, Cell- aware, path delay fault models, diagnosis, and hierarchical test flows.
• Run and debug non-timing and SDF annotated gate level simulations
• Analyze test results and drive test coverage improvement and closure
• Develop ,validate and timing closure of DFT timing constraints for scan, BIST, and test modes
• Experience with UPF (Unified Power Format), formal verification, and DRC rule checking experience
• Support pre-silicon DFT signoff and assist with post-silicon pattern bring-up, debug and Silicon characterization
• Exposure to mixed-signal or SERDES DFT, such as IOBIST or loopback testing
• Exposure to Chiplet-based architectures, including Die-to-Die (D2D) test methodologies (e.g., UCIe interfaces) and Known Good Die (KGD) strategies.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of experience in DFT architecture, implementation, and verification for SoCs.
• Experience in DFT flow, including architecture, IP integration (e.g., Scan controllers, TAP, MBIST), and interaction with synthesis and verification flows.
• Experience with industry-leading EDA tools for DFT, such as Synopsys ( Fusion Compiler, TestMax) or Siemens EDA (Tessent, TestKompress).
• Verilog design experience - developing custom DFT logic & IP integration; familiarity with functional verification
• DFT SDC Creations and Test mode Static Timing Analysis & Debug
• Experience working with Gate level simulation with timing & no-timing, debugging.
• Experience in ATE debug, or validation of DFT features.
