About the Job

Requirements

  • A Bachelor of Engineering or Master of Science degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Engineering is required.
  • At least 12 years of design-for-test experience is required.
  • Hands-on expertise with Mentor or Synopsys test generation tools for large, complex designs is required.
  • Design-for-test lead experience for complex system-on-chip tape-out and production is required.
  • Strong fundamental knowledge of design-for-test techniques is required, including JTAG, automatic test pattern generation, test pattern translation, yield learning, logic diagnosis, scan compression, the IEEE 1500 standard, memory built-in self-test, logic built-in self-test, and SSN.

Responsibilities

  • Architect design-for-test design and lead insertion and simulation of design-for-test instruments for the Pune microcontroller team.
  • Work with system-on-chip leads, intellectual property designers, and the design verification team to deliver design-for-test implementations, verify coverage, and review verification coverage.
  • Work with the back-end lead on design-for-test modes, static timing analysis, and IR-drop analysis.
  • Work with test engineers to bring up test patterns on silicon.
  • Provide guidance to junior design-for-test engineers.
  • Define and implement design-for-test structures, designs, and methodologies, including scan, memory built-in self-test, JTAG, and functional testing.
  • Create test vectors or oversee their creation.
  • Collaborate with the physical design team to close timing in design-for-test mode.
  • Sign off that design-for-test requirements are met.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with synthesis, static timing analysis, and back-end implementation flows.
  • Familiarity with Tessent shell flow for design-for-test instrument insertion, including memory built-in self-test, IJTAG, SSN, boundary scan, and on-chip clock controller.
  • Solid laboratory and test-floor bring-up and debugging experience.
  • Experience with yield estimation and test optimization.
  • A design-for-test artificial intelligence mindset.

About the Company

NXP Semiconductors

Automotive semiconductors and secure embedded solutions

NXP Semiconductors designs and sells semiconductor chips for vehicles and other devices. Its products include automotive-grade microcontrollers and other ICs used in engines, infotainment, safety systems, and networked car architectures. These chips process data, run software, and enable features such as advanced driver assistance and vehicle connectivity, often with strong security and real-time performance. Unlike some peers, NXP became an independent company after Philips spun off its semiconductor unit in 2006 and later merged with Freescale in 2015, building a focused strength in automotive semiconductors and microcontrollers. This gives it a clear niche in the market and the goal of growing as a standalone leader in smarter, connected vehicles and related technologies.
