THE ROLE:

As a senior DFT RTL Design Engineer within the CDFX organization, you will play a critical role in architecting, designing, and delivering production-quality DFT RTL solutions for complex, state-of-the-art SoCs. As technical owner of DFT RTL blocks used across multiple SoCs,  you will be responsible for architectural definition, RTL coding and verification, and silicon validation support. This role requires strong hands-on RTL expertise, the ability to work and collaborate with cross-functional teams and strong knowledge and competency debugging issues spanning RTL, netlists, design constraints, and silicon bring-up.

THE PERSON:

You take strong ownership of your work and remain effective in complex, fast‑moving environments. You approach problems with a structured and curious mindset, communicate clearly with diverse stakeholders, and collaborate effectively across teams. You balance execution with long‑term thinking, demonstrate sound judgement under ambiguity, and continuously learn from experience to improve outcomes.

KEY RESPONSIBLITIES:

• Develop RTL for ASIC design-for-test (DFT) features as per architectural or design flow automation specifications.
• Partner with architecture team to define design improvements, new initiatives that drive our IP forward to achieve best-in-class Scan Coverage, DPPM, and Debug capabilities.
• Support RTL design integration, insertion, synthesis, equivalency checking, timing analysis and defining constraints, verification of DFx logic at RTL and GLS, ATPG and Scan GLS.
• Work with multi-functional teams to provide IP and SOC integration support, collaboration to develop solutions for complex/unique problems
• Support post-silicon debug, and taking learnings to propose RTL and micro‑architecture improvements
• Clearly document designs, debug findings, and methodology improvements, and communicate status and risks to cross-functional stakeholders.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Strong hands-on experience with SystemVerilog / Verilog RTL design on complex SoCs.
• Demonstrated ability to write clean, scalable, and reusable RTL used across multiple SoCs
• Strong understanding and experience using Lint, CDC, Synthesis, STA tools
• Proven ability to debug issues across RTL, gate-level netlists, constraints, and tool flows.
• Experience working in UNIX/Linux environments, with scripting proficiency in TCL, Perl, or shell.
• Strong collaboration, communication, and ownership mindset in a fast-paced, globally distributed engineering environment.
• Prior experience delivering DFT solutions through full silicon life cycles, from early RTL to post-silicon bring-up and yield ramp, is highly valued.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Engineering/ Electrical Engineering
