Job Description:
Perfect Opportunity for Career Growth:
This role is ideally suited for recent graduates and early-career professionals passionate about building expertise in Design for Test (DFT). No previous DFT experience is required – we're seeking motivated individuals with a genuine interest in evolving their careers in this specialized field.
The Role and Impact:
As a DFT Design Engineer, you will play a vital role in shaping the quality and performance of Intel's silicon products. You will contribute to the development of cutting-edge technologies by designing and verifying robust Design for Test (DFT) features that ensure manufacturability and reliability. Your work will directly impact Intel's ability to deliver high-quality products to market quickly, meeting both performance and quality objectives. This position offers the opportunity to collaborate with cross-functional teams, influence design methodologies, and drive innovation in test strategies for SoC and functional IP blocks.
Key Responsibilities:
Develop logic design, register transfer level (RTL) coding, and implement DFT architectures including SCAN, MBIST, BSCAN, and TAP.
Collaborate in the definition of architecture and microarchitecture features for DFT blocks and subsystems.
Optimize logic to achieve power, performance, area, timing, test coverage, and defect per million (DPM) goals.
Write and generate RTL and structural code for DFT integration, ensuring design integrity for physical implementation.
Review and execute verification plans to ensure design features meet architecture specifications.
Resolve RTL test failures and implement corrective measures to ensure feature correctness.
Support SoC customers for successful integration of DFT blocks, contributing to high-quality IP and SoC designs.
Develop high-volume manufacturing (HVM) test content for rapid bring-up and production deployment on automatic test equipment (ATE).
Collaborate with post-silicon and manufacturing teams to verify features in silicon and support debugging requirements.
Qualifications:
Minimum Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Computer or Electrical Engineering, or a related field with no prior experience required.
Interest in DFT as a career
This position is based in Fort Collins, Colorado and requires on-site presence 4 days per week at our office location.
Preferred Qualifications:
Familiarity with test architecture including SCAN, MBIST, BSCAN, and TAP.
Familiarity with RTL coding, DFT techniques, and timing closure methods.
Experience with design tools and methodologies such as ATPG and coverage analysis.
Experience configuring EDT setups and resolving stuck-at and at-speed test scenarios.
Proficient programming skills in TCL, Python, Perl, and/or C.
Knowledge of GLS for test scenario resolution and ATPG coverage analysis.
Strong communication and collaboration skills, with a focus on teamwork across diverse engineering groups.
Join us in advancing Intel's legacy as a technology leader. Apply today to be a part of our journey in innovating the future of silicon design and manufacturing.
