* Job Description:

** Microchip Technology Inc. has a
** Senior Technical Staff Engineer - Architect (DFT Lead)
** opening based in
** Burnaby, Canada**. The DFT lead works in close partnership with different teams within the FPGA business unit spanning architecture, ASIC design, verification, physical implementation, and test engineering to implement the testability features into the combined FPGA and ASIC SOC. The DFT lead will be involved from the initial investigation and feasibility to tape-out, as well as silicon validation and characterization of test methods on Automatic Test Equipment (ATE).
** Responsibilities
* ** Manage DFT requirements across architecture, design, and product teams to ensure coverage, die cost, test cost and DFT integration requirements are met at the block and full chip level.  Define, implement and validate DFT features at the FPGA full chip and sub-systems level.
* Collaborate closely with cross functional teams to support DFT insertion, synthesis, scan insertion, place-and-route, static timing analysis, timing closure, power analysis during test and quantifying full chip test coverage.
* Establish and maintain DFT design and insertion guidelines and documents best practices for all development teams to follow.
* Be current with emerging technologies and methodologies in DFT and incorporate them into the FPGA to continuously improve test cost and quality.
* Work with Test and Product engineers to support development of firmware targeted test patterns, ATPG and mBIST test feature validation processes, and silicon debug activities.
* Communicate project status and progress to chip lead and engineering management
** Requirements/

Qualifications:

*** Bachelors or Masters in engineering field
* 15+ tears of DFT engineering experience through DFT pre and post silicon cycles
