The Opportunity

We're looking for the Wavemakers of tomorrow.

Alphawave Semi enables tomorrow's future by accelerating the critical data communication at the heart of our digital world – from seamless video streaming to AI to the metaverse and much more. Our technology powers product innovation in the most data-demanding industries today, including data centers, networking, storage, artificial intelligence, 5G wireless infrastructure, and autonomous vehicles. Customers partner with us for mission-critical data communication, our innovative technologies, and our proven track record. Together, we enable the next generation of digital technology.

What You'll Do

  • Acting as a member of Alphawave 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.

What You'll Need:

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering science, Electrical and Computer Engineering or Computer Science
  • 10+ years of experience in complex SoC designs in RTL, DFT or FE capacity. Candidates with less experience may be considered for other senior technical roles.
  • Vast experience with various DFT EDA tools from Siemens, SNPS and Cadence
  • Good knowledge and understanding in Verilog/VHDL and SystemVerilog
  • Exposure to CAD and automation. Good exposure for using de-Perl techniques in creating generic codes. Knowledge of TCL and Python is a plus.
  • Extensively experienced with main DFT standards such as JTAG /1149.6/1500), iJTAG and BIST techniques (memory BIST, logic BIST, interconnect BISTs)
  • Track record in integrating custom made DFT logic for complex SoCs (System-On-Chip) and CoWoS (Chip-On-Wafer-On-Substrate) designs is highly desirable.
  • Experience in SoC and IP/Block level scan insertion and ATPG, simulation of zero delay and SDF annotated test sequences.
