Cisco Senior DFx/RTL Engineer 

United States, California, San Jose 

110401738

Your Impact:

You will be in the Silicon One development organization as an ASIC Implementation Technical Lead in San Jose, CA with a primary focus on Design-for-Test. You will work with Front-end RTL teams, backend physical design teams to understand chip architecture and drive DFT requirements early in the design cycle.

Key Responsibilities:

• Responsible for implementing the Hardware Design-for-Test (DFT) features that support ATE, in-system test, debug and diagnostics needs of the designs.
• Responsible for development of innovative DFT IP in collaboration with the multi-functional teams, and play a key role in full chip design integration with the testability features coordinated in the RTL.
• Work closely with the design/design-verification and PD teams to enable the integration and validation of the Test logic in all phases of the implementation and post silicon validation flows.
• Your team will participate in the creation of Innovative Hardware DFT & physical design aspects for new silicon device models, bare die & stacked die, driving re-usable test and debug strategies.
• The job requires the candidate to have the ability to craft solutions and debug with minimal mentorship.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or a Master’s Degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering required with at least 10 years of experience.
• Prior experience with MBIST Architecture, MBIST Implementation and Verification. MBIST ATE bringup, post silicon debug and Diagnostics.
• Prior experience with Jtag protocols, Scan architectures, including memory BIST and boundary scan.

• Prior DFX experience (DFT + Debug logic/features)
• Prior exposure to LINT/CDC/timing constraints/etc
• Verilog design experience – developing custom DFT logic & IP integration; familiarity with functional verification

Preferred Qualification:

• DFT CAD development – Test Architecture, Methodology and Infrastructure
• Test Static Timing Analysis
• Post silicon validation using DFT patterns.

Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, give our egos a break, and give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, bold steps, and take difference to heart.
