**Role & seniority: ** DFT Design Verification Engineer (entry-level; Bachelors + 0 years)

**Stack/tools: **

Verification/testing: directed + random verification, coverage analysis, assertions
Test/automation: scripting in Perl, Python, or TCL
Simulation/debug: gate-level simulation, failure debugging, coverage closure
DFT-related: pre-silicon DFT verification, DFT implementation checks, silicon bring-up test patterns
Top 3 responsibilities:
- Develop and execute DFT verification plans: review architecture/design specs, extract DFT features/attributes, define verification approach
- Build and run verification: implement test benches, generate advised/constrained-random tests, create/execute regressions and automation
- Debug and close coverage: troubleshoot failures, run gate-level sims, supervise bug closure, drive coverage completion and support silicon bring-up
Must-have skills:
- Solid understanding of Design Verification (DV) methodologies for DFT implementation (pre-silicon)
- Hands-on directed/random verification, coverage analysis, and assertions
- Scripting proficiency: Perl/Python/TCL
- Problem solving and effective communication; ability to meet schedule deadlines and manage priorities
- General knowledge of logic design (DFT exposure is expected/valued)
Nice-to-haves:
- Proven experience with large processors and/or GPU/SoC designs
- Experience w

Full Description

Do you love creating elegant solutions to highly complex challenges? Do you intrinsically see the importance in every detail? As part of our Silicon Technologies group, you’ll help design and manufacture our next-generation, high-performance, power-efficient processor, GPU. You’ll ensure Apple products and services can seamlessly and efficiently handle the tasks that make them beloved by millions. Joining this group means you’ll be responsible for crafting and building the technology that fuels Apple’s devices. Together, you and your team will enable our customers to do all the things they love with their devices. The DFT Design Verification Engineer will be on a team which is responsible for the complete DFT pre-silicon verification and support for silicon bring-up of GPU core.

DESCRIPTION

In this highly transparent and interactive role, your primary responsibilities

will include: • Reviewing Architecture and Design Specifications • Extracting design features and developing attributes and verification plans • Working with designers to verify DFT implementation and run various checks • Implementing test benches, generating advised/constrained random tests • Debugging failures, running gate level simulations, supervising bugs, and closing coverage • Handling schedules and supporting multi-functional engineering effort • Assisting in verification flows, automation scripts and regressions • Working with test engineers to bring up test patterns on silicon.
