We combine an extensive understanding of the way neural networks operate, with our team’s expertise in SW and HW architecture, to develop products that transform the way we use machines to perceive and analyze the world around us.

Our company is led by a group of experts from a wide range of disciplines, combining experience from elite intelligence units as well as leading tech companies in Israel and abroad, with a track record of executing complex projects from the ground up. As an AI chip company, we believe that AI can help us create a better, safer, more productive, and more convenient world. For this to happen, AI needs to be available at scale and on the edge.

To this end, our team of hardware and software leaders is developing top-performing AI processors, dedicated to AI tasks on edge devices in a wide variety of applications and industries including smart cities, automotive, manufacturing, agriculture, retail, and many more. With hundreds of customer programs around the world, and a wide ecosystem of software and hardware partners, Hailo is leading the edge AI revolution.

In this position

Hailo is looking to hire a talented VLSI DFT Engineer to join our VLSI group in Tel Aviv. You will work alongside other talented engineers to develop our cutting edge AI chips. If you are motivated and skilled in VLSI and excited about AI, we want to meet you!

Responsibilities

  • Develop and deliver production test patterns (ATPG), including stabilization, coverage analysis, and debug
  • Analyze silicon failures and drive debug across DFT, design, and test flows
  • Collaborate with design teams to implement and optimize Hailo’s unique DFT architecture and methodologies (scan, MBIST, etc.)
  • Participate in pre-silicon verification of DFT features and flows
  • Contribute to end-to-end DFT flow, from implementation through silicon bring-up

Requirements

  • B.Sc./M.Sc. Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering or related field from a leading university.
  • 2+ years of experience in VLSI (DFT/design/backend).
  • Ability to deal with ambiguity, strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • strong interpersonal skills and communication skills, and ability to work effectively in a team

Advantages

Experience in at least one of the following:

  • Experience with ATPG tools and methodologies (scan, hierarchical flows, MBIST)
  • Familiarity with DFT architecture and design considerations
  • Experience with production test debug and yield analysis
  • Experience with DFT insertion flows (scan/MBIST) during synthesis
  • Understanding of DFT-related timing constraints and static timing checks
  • Familiarity with SystemVerilog
  • Scripting experience (Python, Tcl, Perl, Shell)

We are passionate about building an inclusive and equitable working environment.

We promote a flexible work environment that encourages work-life balance.

If you don't meet 100% of the requirements– no worries!

Our DNA is characterized by openness to multi-disciplinary people, who bring great potential to grow with us, not just a skills set list. We encourage you to apply if you think this role would excite you about coming to work every day.
