13.06.2024
Description
As a DFT Verification Engineer, you will have the following responsibilities:- Work closely with architecture, RTL designers, and DFT designers on verifying the functionality correctness of the DFT logic. Including cross functionality between DFT and functional logic.- Develop and execute test plans and schedules for DFT logic.- Develop testbenches and tests according to test plan. This includes both in RTL and gates simulation/emulation environment.- Debug simulation failures and work with design team to suggest potential solutions.- Develop coverage monitors and analyze coverage to ensure all test cases in the plans are covered.- Develop Verilog checkers or assertions to verify the design.- Work with related SOC teams to ensure DFT feature works correctly outside CPU IP level. This includes both running tests at SOC level and review of other teams verification work.- Work with silicon bringup team on developing tests that to help silicon bring up effort.
