• Excellent written and spoken English language communication skills 

• Excellent organizational skills 

• Work location is Wilsonville, OR 

Preferred Knowledge/Skills, Experience 

• 1+ years of work experience, including DFT for complex ASICs / SOCs, including some of the following areas: Automatic test pattern generation (ATPG), internal scan, embedded scan compression (EDT), packetized test delivery (SSN), memory built-in self-test (MBIST), logic built-in self-test (LBIST), IEEE 1687 IJTAG, analog design and simulation, hierarchical DFT implementation 

• Experience working with DFT tools, preferably Tessent tool suite 

• Industry experience with inserting scan, running ATPG and debugging fault coverage 

• Knowledge of IC design trends and emerging requirements 

• Exposure to one or more adjacent IC disciplines such as the following a plus: 

o RTL coding and verification using Verilog/SystemVerilog/VHDL 

o Synthesis and timing analysis 

o Place and route 

o Advanced IC packaging 

o DFT and test for embedded IP cores 

o Failure diagnosis 

o ATE use / test program development 

This position will be subject to U.S. export control requirements under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and/or Export Administration Regulations (EAR).  Employment is contingent on either verifying the U.S. Person status or obtaining any necessary export license.
