CPU DFT Engineer

Nuvacore is building a ground-up high performance, low-power CPU for next-generation compute workloads. As DFT engineers within the CPU team you will be responsible for test related pre-silicon and post-silicon activities. We will be delivering a DFT architecture which aligns with the projects industry - leading power, performance, and area.

Defining and implementing area and power efficient DFT architecture while collaborating with design, STA and PD Develop scan and BIST insertion flows, implement DFT registers in design blocks Completing DFT architecture specifications Review and integrate third party IPs into DFT architecture Define verification plans for DFT features Review DFT coverage for scan and MBIST Verification of DFT features in RTL and gates, and power aware simulations Generate test content for silicon bringup, and support silicon bringup activities including yield analysis

BS or MS with 7+ years experience in DFT or DFT verification Scan or MBIST with industry standard EDA tools, or experience with DFT verification flows For scan role, able to define scan insertion, scan compression, and clocking requirements, and define intest and extest modes For MBIST role, be very familiar with memory repair, and repair interaction with functional operation Strong understanding of JTAG, IEEE 1500 and IEEE 1687 Experience with Verilog RTL and gate level netlists, including running and debugging simulations Strong communication skills and ability to work with cross functional teams

Using DFT features to support system debug Leveraging AI tools to accelerate DFT work flows Porting test content and supporting silicon bringup on ATE platforms Experience in Perl, Python, or TCL We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
