We are open to hiring in Austin, TX; Palo Alto, CA.

What You'll Do

  • Define and implement various DF T features at RTL and gates using in-house flows.
  • Work closely with the physical design team in achieving design closure with DF T features.
  • Perform block-level scan insertion, ATPG, coverage analysis, and simulations.
  • Run top-level test pattern retargeting and simulations.
  • Identify design changes needed for improving test coverage.
  • Work with test / product engineering team members on test pattern delivery and silicon bring-up.

What You'll Bring

  • Knowledge of testability techniques and features (Compressed-Scan, Built-in-Self-Test, Loop-Back, Boundary-Scan) covering digital logic domain, embedded memories, and PHY / IO’s.
  • Well versed in JTAG / IEEE 1500 / 1 687 networks. BSDL, ICL, and PDL knowledge preferable.
  • Expertise in ATPG, coverage analysis, and zero-delay / SDF based pattern simulations. Experience with Cadence DFT tools (Modus and Genus) or Mentor DFT tools (Tessent Shell) preferred.
  • Good knowledge of Verilog, logic design, circuit design fundamentals as well as timing.
  • Working knowledge of TCL, python (or another scripting language like Perl).
  • Experience in implementation of MBIST and knowledge of repair schemes, algorithms is a plus.
  • Experience or working knowledge of SERDES, Analog / mixed-signal DFT techniques (like IOBIST, loop-backs, etc.) is a plus.
  • Post-silicon experience in pattern conversion for testers, pattern bring-up & debug, silicon characterization, etc. is a plus.
  • Degree in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience) with evidence of exceptional abilities.

    • Compensation and Benefits

    Along with competitive pay, as a full‑time Tesla employee, you are eligible for the following benefits at day 1 of hire :

  • Aetna PPO and HSA plans (two medical plan options with $0 payroll deduction)
  • Family-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefits
