Who We Are
The Design for Test (DFT) team is part of the design group, which focuses on logic design, RTL development, and running verification tests. Their main role is to design test structures embedded within the chip to ensure proper functionality after manufacturing. The goal is to detect potential manufacturing defects with maximum efficiency and filter out faulty units before they reach the market.
The ideal candidate is friendly, social, easygoing, with a good sense of humor, and has the ability to learn independently. They should be located in central\north Israel (Tel-Aviv\Caesarea). Strong independent work skills and job stability are important.
What You'll Do
Work in a small, agile team with an intimate atmosphere that offers direct mentoring and broad professional growth. Insert DFT logic, perform synthesis, and run Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) to ensure hardware testability. Execute Gate Level Simulations, timing checks, and DRC checks to maintain rigorous design integrity and performance standards. Run regressions and perform deep-dive debugging on simulation failures as part of the core verification process.
