DFx Engineer
Samsung · 3900 N Capital of Texas Hwy, On-site, United States
About this role
Position Summary Samsung, a world leader in advanced semiconductor technology, is founded on a simple philosophy – the endless pursuit of excellence will create a better world for all. At Samsung Austin Research and Development Center (SARC) and Advanced Computing Lab (ACL), we are building a center of excellence for Intellectual Property (IP) that is applied to high-performance computing devices (mobile, automotive, and other custom market segments) consumed by millions of people around the world. Come build with us! Role and Responsibilities As a seasoned DFx engineer, you will be involved across the entire spectrum of activities all the way from defining the DFT scan architecture through implementation and culminating in pattern generation including silicon debug
You will be working on IP-level projects (GPU, system interconnect) in bleeding-edge processes that continually drive high test-coverage requirements. This position is local to Austin, TX only. You understand SOC requirements and project milestones to help define a DFT architecture which optimally balances between coverage, test-time, and execution
You create a detailed implementation spec which documents details of the architecture including SOC-level interface, clock design, and support of various test/debug modes. You close on the spec with stakeholders including DFX / RTL / SOC / STA / PD teams. You implement DFT scan: RTL creation, LINT, timing-constraints, ATPG and simulation
Benchmark test-coverage and test-time to ensure that they meet expectations. You drive towards continuing DFX excellence: improving test-coverage, minimizing test-time, and exploring tools / methods that improve execution efficiency. You build strong collaboration with SOC and Product/Test Engineering teams to quickly resolve any silicon issues including test-escapes and yield loss
Skills and Qualifications 10+ years of experience with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science/Computer Engineering/relevant technical field, o
