About the job

Implements and verifies design-for-test functions for MatX silicon, including SERDES PHY test and SoC-level test integration, from design through silicon bring-up.

What you'll do

  • Develop SERDES PHY functional test solutions and integrate PHY DFT interfaces into SoC test architecture.
  • Implement and verify block-level DFT, including scan closure, ATPG pattern generation, and sign-off.
  • Support silicon test-program bring-up and analyze test escapes to improve DFT coverage and test quality.

What they ask for

  • Hands-on DFT implementation experience with MBIST, at-speed scan, and scan compression.
  • Knowledge of JTAG (IEEE 1149.1), IJTAG (IEEE 1687), and Streaming Scan Networks (SSN).
  • Experience or working knowledge of loading and validating PHY firmware via SPI, I2C, or JTAG.
  • Experience integrating PHY DFT interfaces into SoC DFT architecture.

Nice to have

  • System-level DFT access experience, including hierarchical test access, test data compression, and multi-die/chiplet DFT.
  • Familiarity with Synopsys DFT Compiler, Mentor Tessent, or equivalent.
