Job Description:
Join Cisco's Silicon One team as an ASIC Engineer focused on Design-for-Test (DFT) in the development of innovative hardware platforms for the AI era. This role involves collaboration with front-end RTL and backend physical design teams to drive DFT requirements and contribute to next-generation networking chips. You will play a key role in the implementation flow and post-silicon validation phases, ensuring high-quality chip designs.
Responsibilities:
- Collaborate with front-end RTL and backend physical design teams to understand chip architecture.
- Drive DFT requirements early in the design cycle.
- Lead the DFT and quality process throughout the implementation flow.
- Participate in post-silicon validation and debug activities.
- Work with ATE patterns and P1687 standards.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering.
- Minimum of 3 years of experience in DFT, test, and silicon engineering.
Skills:
- Experience with JTAG protocols, Scan and BIST architectures.
- Familiarity with ATPG and EDA tools like TestMax, Tetramax, Tessent, and PrimeTime.
- Proficient in gate-level simulation and debugging with VCS and other simulators.
- Post-silicon validation experience with DFT patterns.
- Verilog design experience and functional verification skills.
