Morse Micro is at the forefront of next-generation Wi-Fi technology, delivering breakthrough solutions that redefine wireless connectivity. Our innovative products are designed to meet the demands of the rapidly evolving market, providing superior performance and reliability.

Do you want to play a key role in building next generation Wi-Fi chips that will truly enable the Internet of Things (IoT)? Keen to make a real difference in a VC-backed high-growth company while working in a dynamic & fun environment? Then join Morse Micro, Australia’s largest fabless semiconductor company!
We welcome applications from overseas candidates, with relocation and visa support available for the successful applicant.

Your responsibilities would include:

  • Own end-to-end DFT for wireless SoCs, including architecture, implementation, verification, tapeout sign-off, silicon bring-up, and production support.

  • Define DFT architecture and coverage goals, optimizing test quality, pattern count, power, area, and tester time/constraints.

  • Architect and implement SCAN solutions, including chains, sub-chains, masking, compressors, decompressors, SDCs, and ensure post synthesis SCAN DRC clean

  • Develop and integrate at-speed test methodologies using OPCG for intra- and inter-clock domain testing.

  • Implement low-power DFT techniques such as power-aware scan, clock staggering, and test-point insertion to meet ATE/package limits.

  • Own MBIST integration and diagnostics for all on-chip memories, including JTAG-based debug diagnostic flows.

  • Implement and maintain IEEE 1149.1 JTAG/TAP, BSDL, IEEE 1500 wrappers, and DFT test-mode/pin-mux control.

  • Integrate DFT for third-party hardened IPs (e.g. PLL, USB PHY, RRAM, FUSE), including wrapper design and vendor pattern integration.

  • 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.

  • Drive silicon debug, yield analysis, DFT scripting / automation, and cross-functional collaboration with frontend, verification, PnR, and ATE in fast-paced tapeout programs.

Essential skills (you must have):

  • Bsc/MSc/Phd in Electrical / Electronics / Communication Engineering or Computer Science

  • 5+ years experience as a DFT Engineer

  • Strong hands-on experience in scan insertion/stitching, ATPG setup, JTAG, simulation, debug, and scan DRC analysis

  • Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals, including RTL coding and verification

  • Proven expertise on hierarchical DFT methodologies is a plug

  • Post-silicon debug and silicon bring-up experience

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills

  • Proven to work constructively within your team and among other groups

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

  • A determination to deliver even when subject to time pressures

  • A hands-on, practical attitude

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene

Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
