What You'll Do
- Acting as a member of Qualcomm's 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. Replacement Position.
What You'll Need:
