You will be updated with latest job alerts via emailThe DfTArchitect coordinates across IC architecture DfT Design and Test & Product engineering disciplines.
He/she is responsible for the Analog and overall DfT Architecture and proper implementation in the design.
Overall goal is to aim for an optimal industrial test concept and an appropriate DfT realization according to the required test cost vs. product quality balance within the project determined constraints. His/her focus is on complex AMSSOC projects 50 analog / 50 digital). The DfTArchitect is the technical lead of the DfTimplementation team and advises analog and digital IP designers and software engineers.
Your job
Primary Accountabilities:
Advises the system/hardware architect on testability provisions in the IC/IP architecture to enable high test coverage and easy test access.
Responsible for the testability requirements of the IC/IP and its composing modules.
Responsible for test case definition.
Responsible for identifying test impact of requirement changes
Specifies chip level test concepts requirements (e.g. integrated test modules in digital and analogue IPs test access and control blocks build in selftest circuitries etc..
Defines test strategy and DfT architecture to achieve the specified quality level for lowest integral test cost.
Develops a test architecture which enables fast failure analysis and debug capability on IC/IP level.
Aims for cost effectiveness and maximum reusability of test functionality and concepts.
Supports predictions on factory yields falloff rate delivery quality test coverage test cycle time and test costs.
Defines testcircuits and structures in IC/IP analyzes and verifies the testability and test coverage in IC/IP. In larger project he usually guides the DfTimplementation team and assists appropriate digital and analog designers in charge to implement special DfT circuitry.
Involved in the test verification and validation process of the product to support this with test tools and to verify the anticipated fault models on relevance and completeness for usage in a DfT and test verification context.
Supports and consults design team members on test related issues as well as coaches test and product engineers in the area of DesignforTestability.
Assists other team members to generate fully verified test pattern and test methods.
Aids the test engineering during test program development and debug
