Principal SoC DFT Engineer at Nokia

Job description

The Principal DFT Engineer will work on cutting-edge ASIC implementation for the Network Infrastructure Optical Network group You will be working on DFT architecture and implementation across logic BIST, MBIST, BISR, Boundary Scan, and JTAG. This is a highly execution-driven role requiring end-to-end ownership of DFT insertion, verification, DRC closure, and test coverage closure from RTL/netlist through post-silicon debug. As a senior member of the DFT team, you will work closely with the architecture, IP design, Physical Design and product engineers to achieve first pass silicon success. Perform hands-on DFT implementation and verification, including: • Logic BIST and scan compression • MBIST and BISR • Boundary Scan (IEEE 1149.x) insertion • JTAG insertion and connectivity • High-speed analog/mixed signal IP integration • Execute DFT verification, debug, and DFT DRC closure • Identify, debug, and resolve DFT rule violations at both block and top levels • Run, analyze, and debug DFT/RTL checks, working with design teams to close violations • Generate, simulate, and debug MBIST and logic ATPG patterns • Analyze test results and drive test coverage improvement and closure • Develop and validate DFT timing constraints for scan, BIST, and test modes • Create and maintain TCL scripts to automate DFT insertion, verification, and analysis flows • Support hierarchical DFT implementation and resolve integration issues • Collaborate with RTL and Physical Design teams to address DFT-related design issues • Support pre-silicon DFT signoff and assist with post-silicon pattern bring-up and debug • Assist with ATE pattern conversion and debug as needed Experience with gate-level simulations and debugging with industry simulator tools You Have: • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Electrical Engineering or related fields and 8 years of related professional experience OR Master’s degree and/or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields with 5 years of experience. • 5+ years of hands-on DFT implementation experience • Strong proficiency with EDA tools , including: • Logic BIST insertion and verification • MBIST / BISR insertion and verification • Boundary Scan (IEEE 1149.x) • JTAG and HS Analog/mixed signal IP IOBIST integration • ATPG pattern generation and coverage analysis • Proven ability to resolve DFT DRCs, connectivity issues, and testability problems • Strong TCL scripting skills for DFT automation and flow execution • Experience developing and validating scan and test-mode timing constraints • End-to-end DFT lifecycle experience, from RTL/netlist through silicon debug • Strong debugging skills, attention to detail, and sense of ownership • Excellent verbal and written communication skills The Principal DFT Engineer will work on cutting-edge ASIC implementation for the Network Infrastructure Optical Network group
