  • Comfortable working with Siemens Tessent flows, iJTAG, and advanced verification automation.
  • Proactive, detail-oriented, and thrives in cross-functional technical discussions.
  • Ideally familiar with tools similar to CocoTB

What We Need

  • Develop and own verification environments for DFD logic across AI chiplets and SoCs.
  • Write, refine, and execute test scenarios for scan, MBIST, array dump, and clock-stop features.
  • Analyze coverage gaps, debug failures, and collaborate closely with DFT and RTL teams.
  • Automate flows for JTAG/scanchain testing and integrate AI productivity tools.

What You Will Learn

  • In-depth DFD/DFT verification using cutting-edge Tessent workflows and scripting.
  • Integration of pre-silicon DFD verification with silicon debug strategies.
