Job Description
\n Overview\n
Morse Micro is a leading manufacturer of next‑generation Wi‑Fi technology, focused on building 802.11ah chips for the Internet of Things.
Responsibilities\n- \n
- Own end‑to‑end DFT for wireless SoCs, including architecture, implementation, verification, tape‑out sign‑off, silicon bring‑up, and production support. \n
- Define DFT architecture and coverage goals, optimizing test quality, pattern count, power, area, and tester time/constraints. \n
- Architect and implement SCAN solutions, including chains, sub‑chains, masking, compressors, decompressors, SDCs, and ensure post‑synthesis SCAN DRC cleanliness. \n
- Develop and integrate at‑speed test methodologies using OPCG for intra‑ and inter‑clock domain testing. \n
- Implement low‑power DFT techniques such as power‑aware scan, clock staggering, and test‑point insertion to meet ATE/package limits. \n
- Own MBIST integration and diagnostics for all on‑chip memories, including JTAG‑based debug diagnostic flows. \n
- Implement and maintain IEEE 1149.1 JTAG/TAP, BSDL, IEEE 1500 wrappers, and DFT test‑mode/pin‑mux control. \n
- Integrate DFT for third‑party hardened IPs (e.g., PLL, USB PHY, RRAM, FUSE), including wrapper design and vendor pattern integration. \n
- Generate and validate ATPG (stuck‑at, transition, path‑delay) and MBIST patterns, perform GLS with SDF, deliver WGL/STIL, and support first silicon ATE bring‑up/debug. \n
- Drive silicon debug, yield analysis, DFT scripting/automation, and cross‑functional collaboration with frontend, verification, PnR, and ATE in fast‑paced tape‑out programs. \n
