Job Description: 

Perfect Opportunity for Career Growth:
This role is ideally suited for recent graduates and early-career professionals passionate about building expertise in Design for Test (DFT). No previous DFT experience is required – we're seeking motivated individuals with a genuine interest in evolving their careers in this specialized field. 

The Role and Impact:
As a DFT Design Engineer, you will play a vital role in shaping the quality and performance of Intel's silicon products. You will contribute to the development of cutting-edge technologies by designing and verifying robust Design for Test (DFT) features that ensure manufacturability and reliability. Your work will directly impact Intel's ability to deliver high-quality products to market quickly, meeting both performance and quality objectives. This position offers the opportunity to collaborate with cross-functional teams, influence design methodologies, and drive innovation in test strategies for SoC and functional IP blocks.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop logic design, register transfer level (RTL) coding, and implement DFT architectures including SCAN, MBIST, BSCAN, and TAP.

• Collaborate in the definition of architecture and microarchitecture features for DFT blocks and subsystems.

• Optimize logic to achieve power, performance, area, timing, test coverage, and defect per million (DPM) goals.

• Write and generate RTL and structural code for DFT integration, ensuring design integrity for physical implementation.

• Review and execute verification plans to ensure design features meet architecture specifications.

• Resolve RTL test failures and implement corrective measures to ensure feature correctness.

• Support SoC customers for successful integration of DFT blocks, contributing to high-quality IP and SoC designs.

• Develop high-volume manufacturing (HVM) test content for rapid bring-up and production deployment on automatic test equipment (ATE).

• Collaborate with post-silicon and manufacturing teams to verify features in silicon and support debugging requirements.

Qualifications:

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer or Electrical Engineering, or a related field with no prior experience required.

• Interest in DFT as a career

• This position is based in Fort Collins, Colorado and requires on-site presence 4 days per week at our office location.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Familiarity with test architecture including SCAN, MBIST, BSCAN, and TAP.

• Familiarity with RTL coding, DFT techniques, and timing closure methods.

• Experience with design tools and methodologies such as ATPG and coverage analysis.

• Experience configuring EDT setups and resolving stuck-at and at-speed test scenarios.

• Proficient programming skills in TCL, Python, Perl, and/or C++.

• Knowledge of GLS for test scenario resolution and ATPG coverage analysis.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with a focus on teamwork across diverse engineering groups.

Join us in advancing Intel's legacy as a technology leader. Apply today to be a part of our journey in innovating the future of silicon design and manufacturing.
