• Generate and verify ATPG patterns.
• Verify MBIST.
• Perform post-silicon bring-up and yield analysis.
• Define test mode timing constraints.
• Provide timing fixes and corrective actions for timing violations.
• Analyze and devise new tests for new technologies, custom RAM designs, RMA, etc.
• Simulate test vectors.
• Work in an international team and dynamic environment.
• Multi-task and work on several high-priority designs in parallel.
