Responsibilities:

THE ROLE:

You will have the opportunity to work on complex MPSoC (Multi-Processor System on Chip) FPGAs with multiple advanced ARM/Microblaze processor cores.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Your main responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Develop cost-effective production test solutions to meet all the product quality, test cost, and diagnosability requirements of complex FPGA products including the state-of-the-art 7nm SSIT (Stacked Silicon Interconnect Technology) FPGAs and beyond.
• Define and implement innovative functional test strategies/methodologies with built-in diagnosis capability to support the testing of some complex components and sub-systems inside FPGAs, by using Verilog-based/Firmware-driven or system-level design flow.
• Create bring-up sequence for different IP blocks inside FPGAs and verify in both simulation and Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) test environments to enable robust and stable manufacturing test patterns.
• Work closely with IC design, FPGA firmware/software, verification and characterization, and product test teams to debug firmware/pattern related issues on simulation/bench/ATE to root cause the problem within short TAT, to ensure timely delivery of robust test patterns to meet the product release schedule.
