JOB DESCRIPTION AND REQUIREMENTS

We have an immediate opening for a SoC Design-For-Test (DFT) professional at Principal Engineer in Dublin or can be remote Ireland. This is a “hands-on” leadership role that would build, lead, and coordinate the SoC DFT team, including subcontractors in the System Solutions Group (SSG). The role primarily requires development and implementation of System Design Solutions using Synopsys EDA tools and IP to solve customer problems as part of a service project team.

• Lead DFT implementation, integration and verification of System-on-Chip (SoC) and SoC Subsystems from initial specification till tapeout.
• Lead various aspects of Test architecture including Scan & ATPG, Memory BIST, Logic BIST, Analog/PHY test and post-silicon support.
• Develop and execute DFT methodologies, strategies, and guidelines to maximize test coverage, reduce test cost, and optimize production yield.
• Support post-silicon activities, working with test engineering and validation teams as needed.
• Lead the DFT team, providing technical guidance and mentorship to engineers and manage the team for their professional growth and development.
• Desirable: DFT experience in Automotive SoCs (or Multi-Die SiPs with 2.5D/3D Packaging) and Functional Safety ISO26262 processes
