At the TSMC EU Design Center, you’ll work in an exceptional technology and design team to refine your technical and leadership skills within the world's most advanced design service ecosystem. You'll be contributing to the forefront of semiconductor technology, including cutting-edge nonvolatile memory solutions like MRAM and RRAM. Your main focus will be to assist our leading customers in delivering state-of-the-art products that have a transformative impact on people's lives.

Job Responsibilities

• DFT Architecture & Leadership: Define, architect, and document the complete DFT strategy for complex SoC. Lead and mentor a team of DFT engineers throughout the project lifecycle.

• Flow Development: Design, implement, and maintain DFT flows utilizing Synopsys (DFTMAX, TetraMAX, PrimeShield) and Siemens Tessent (Tessent Shell, TestKompress) toolsets.

• iJTAG Integration: Serve as the internal expert on iJTAG (IEEE 1687). Architect and implement hierarchical iJTAG networks, instrument connectivity, and ICL/PDL description generation for IP block integration.

• Implementation: Drive the insertion of Scan, MBIST (Memory Built-In Self-Test), LBIST, and Analog Macro test structures.

• ATPG & Verification: Generate and validate high-quality ATPG patterns (stuck-at, transition fault, path delay, and cell-aware). Perform extensive pre-silicon DFT verification at both block and full-chip levels using gate-level simulations (GLS) with timing.

• Physical Design Collaboration: Work closely with the Synthesis and Physical Design teams to resolve DFT-related timing closure, routing congestion, and power issues.

• Silicon Bring-up & Diagnostics: Lead post-silicon validation, ATE (Automatic Test Equipment) deployment, and debug activities to diagnose yield issues and silicon failures.

Job Qualifications

• Master's degree or above in Electrical Engineering or any other related majors.

• Over 5 years of experience of hands-on experience with DFT and test flow with commercial EDA tools for large and complex SOCs.

• Strong fundamental knowledge of DFT techniques include JTAG, ATPG, yield learning, logic diagnosis, Scan compression, IEEE 1500 Std. and MBIST.

• Experience with Synopsys DFT Complier, Tetramax and VCS is required. Experience with Tessent and Modus/Encounter tool suite is a plus.

• Strong programming skills in Python/TCL and shell scripting is required.
