Collaborate with RTL design and verification teams to ensure testability features are embedded efficiently. Define and implement test plans, patterns, and fault models to ensure optimal test coverage and yield. Develop and maintain ATPG (Automatic Test Pattern Generation), MBIST, and other manufacturing test content flows and scripts. Perform pre-silicon test pattern simulation and validation to ensure test effectiveness prior to tape-out. Analyze test results, debug silicon failures, and provide root cause analysis. Work with manufacturing and test teams to optimize test time, cost, and quality. Analyze early customer returns with emphasis on driving test hole closure activities. Drive test time reduction through analysis of fallout data versus test time for various IPs to balance and drive overall product cost optimizations. Stay updated with industry trends and emerging DFT/test technologies. Salary Range The pay range below is for Bay Area California only. Actual salary may vary based on a number of factors including job location, job-related knowledge, skills, experiences, trainings, etc. We also offer incentive opportunities that reward employees based on individual and company performance. $113,700 - $164,700 USD We use artificial intelligence to screen, assess, or select applicants for the position.
