The Opportunity

We're looking for the Wavemakers of tomorrow.

Alphawave Semi enables tomorrow’s future by accelerating the critical data communication at the heart of our digital world – from seamless video streaming to AI to the metaverse and much more. Our technology powers product innovation in the most data-demanding industries today, including data centers, networking, storage, artificial intelligence, 5G wireless infrastructure, and autonomous vehicles. Customers partner with us for mission-critical data communication, our innovative technologies, and our proven track record. Together, we enable the next generation of digital technology.

Alphawave SEMI is looking for DFT engineers for our corporate Central DFT group.

What you'll Do:

  • Acting as a member of Alphawave central DFT methodology group responsible for developing, maintaining and supporting flows across all company business units and projects
  • Architecting methodologies and flows for an integrated, RTL centric "shift left" DFT environment across company IPs, ASICs and SoC designs.
  • Writing and automating RTL for advanced DFT and DFD features not currently supported by the EDA vendors
  • Developing automated verification test bench and sequence creation for DFT IP. Architecting end-2-end verification solutions from static design checks, through formal and sequence-based verification.
  • Building IP/block and SoC level scan insertion flows and scripting ATPG retargeting procedures. Creating automated QoR checks for implementation quality control.
  • Writing static timing constraints, creating waivers and devising flows for bullet proof timing checks

What You'll Need:

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering science, Electrical and Computer Engineering or Computer Science
  • 8+ years of experience in complex SoC designs in RTL, DFT or FE capacity. Candidates with less experience may be considered for other senior technical roles.
  • Vast experience with various DFT EDA tools from Siemens, SNPS and Cadence
  • Good knowledge and understanding in Verilog/VHDL and SystemVerilog
  • Exposure to CAD and automation. Good exposure for using de-Perl techniques in creating generic codes. Knowledge of TCL and Python is a plus.
  • Extensively experienced with main DFT standards such as JTAG (1149.1/1149.6/1500), iJTAG (1687) and BIST techniques (memory BIST, logic BIST, interconnect BISTs)
  • Track record in integrating custom made DFT logic for complex SoCs (System-On-Chip) and CoWoS (Chip-On-Wafer-On-Substrate) designs is highly desirable.
  • Experience in SoC and IP/Block level scan insertion and ATPG, simulation of zero delay and SDF annotated test sequences.
