Senior DFT Engineer in Picton

Overview

Morse Micro is a leading manufacturer of next‐generation Wi‐Fi technology, focused on building 802.11ah chips for the Internet of Things.

Responsibilities

• Own end‐to‐end DFT for wireless SoCs, including architecture, implementation, verification, tape‐out sign‐off, silicon bring‐up, and production support.
• Define DFT architecture and coverage goals, optimizing test quality, pattern count, power, area, and tester time/constraints.
• Architect and implement SCAN solutions, including chains, sub‐chains, masking, compressors, decompressors, SDCs, and ensure post‐synthesis SCAN DRC cleanliness.
• Develop and integrate at‐speed test methodologies using OPCG for intra‐ and inter‐clock domain testing.
• Implement low‐power DFT techniques such as power‐aware scan, clock staggering, and test‐point insertion to meet ATE/package limits.
• Own MBIST integration and diagnostics for all on‐chip memories, including JTAG‐based debug diagnostic flows.
• Implement and maintain IEEE 1149.1 JTAG/TAP, BSDL, IEEE 1500 wrappers, and DFT test‐mode/pin‐mux control.
• Integrate DFT for third‐party hardened IPs (e.g., PLL, USB PHY, RRAM, FUSE), including wrapper design and vendor pattern integration.
• Generate and validate ATPG (stuck‐at, transition, path‐delay) and MBIST patterns, perform GLS with SDF, deliver WGL/STIL, and support first silicon ATE bring‐up/debug.
• Drive silicon debug, yield analysis, DFT scripting/automation, and cross‐functional collaboration with frontend, verification, PnR, and ATE in fast‐paced tape‐out programs.
