What are the responsibilities and job description for the DFT design / methodology development Engineer position at Rapidus Corporation US?
Location: Albany (NY)--preferred, Santa Clara (CA), or Tokyo (Japan)
-Role Overview:
- You will be responsible for the Design for Test (DFT) strategy within the 2nm reference flow. This role involves integrating advanced
- Scan and MBIST tools to ensure high testability for complex GAA designs. You will also lead the evaluation and adoption of
- next-generation DFT methodologies to address the challenges of ultra-fine process nodes.
- Key Responsibilities:
- ・Integrate Scan and MBIST (Memory Built-In Self-Test) tools into the digital reference flow.
- ・Evaluate and implement advanced DFT technologies, such as Streaming Scan Network (SSN), to optimize test data volume and test time.
- ・Develop and validate ATPG (Automatic Test Pattern Generation) methodologies utilizing cell-aware (intra-cell) fault models to achieve high defect coverage at the 2nm node.
- ・Conduct evaluation and feasibility studies for new failure analysis methodologies to improve yield ramp-up.
- ・Work closely with EDA vendors to implement these advanced DFT features and collaborate with design partners for pattern generation and silicon-based failure diagnosis.
- ・Support DFT implementation and pattern execution for internal Rapidus test chips.
- ・Provide customers with comprehensive DFT guidelines and technical support.
- Qualifications:
- ・Solid understanding of DFT methodologies (Scan, MBIST, ATPG).
- ・Experience with advanced process nodes (7nm FinFET and beyond) is preferred but not mandatory.
- ・Familiarity with advanced DFT architectures (e.g., SSN, packetized test) and cell-aware testing is highly desirable.
- ・Proven ability to collaborate with external stakeholders, including EDA vendors and design service partners.
- ・Collaboration: Proven ability to work effectively with external stakeholders, including EDA vendors and design service partners.
- Education: BS/MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field.
Language: Professional proficiency in English (Japanese skills are a plus).
