ASIC RTL Engineer

This hardware and software company produce high speed digital hardware for consumers and businesses. They are seeking an RTL engineer skilled in DFT and ATPG for ASIC design. Hence this is an electronics design role, not a test role, but focusing on test logic.

You will have a good degree in a relevant subject from a reputable university and full existing UK work permission without time limit, restriction or sponsorship. You’ll have several years’ commercial experience as an ASIC RTL hardware designer working in VHDL/Verilog. You may be a specialist in DFT or a generalist with prior experience.

You will be very familiar with automatic test pattern generation (ATPG), in particular with reducing the scope and complexity to achieve full coverage with minimal process (test compression, serialization). You’ll be confident building test logic, and modifying existing logic without excessive overhead to accommodate test facilities (e.g. via scan insertion).

You’ll be confident verifying and debugging designs through simulation using common tools. You’ll also be familiar with Synopsys (or comparable) ATPG tools, and with BIST for typical embedded board-level components (e.g. DDR SDRAM).
