Who are we ?

NanoXplore is a France-based fabless company founded in 2010. Since 2014, in partnership with ESA, CNES, and the European Commission, we have been proud to deliver innovative FPGA and SoC FPGA technology solutions, complemented by the capability to develop ASICs and dedicated solutions.

In 2024, NanoXplore acquired the ASIC activities of Dolphin Design, strengthening its strategy to offer a comprehensive semiconductor solutions portfolio. With more than 20 years of expertise in custom ASIC development, the NX Design Services team provides deep technical know-how and a strong track record in high-reliability, low-power integrated circuits.

 

Your missions

To support the growth of our ASIC/SoC design activity and address the challenges of our major international clients, recognized leaders in aerospace and defense, we are looking for a DfT Engineer (M/F).

As part of a multidisciplinary team known for its expertise, you will work on advanced technology nodes (from 28nm down to 7nm and beyond).

  • Define, implement, and manage DFT insertion from specification phase through silicon bring-up.
  • Define DfT strategies in collaboration with SoC architects and lead their implementation with design teams, ensuring pre-tape-out validation and post-tape-out support.
  • Maintain and continuously improve DFT design flows, including documentation.
  • Act as DfT technical reference, contributing to pre- and post-sales activities, estimations, planning, and risk analysis.
Profile
  • Strong knowledge of DfT concepts: Memory BIST, scan, boundary scan, Logic BIST, IJTAG protocol
  • Proficiency with EDA tools such as:

    • Cadence (Genus, Tempus, LEC, XCelium, etc.) and/or

    • Synopsys (Design Compiler, PrimeTime, Formality, VCS, etc.) and/or

    • Siemens/Mentor (Tessent, Questa)

  • Good level of English (written and spoken)
  • Strong focus on quality and compliance with ISO-9001 procedures

 

 

Why join us?

NanoXplore is a fast-growing technology company where you will work on concrete projects, from real components all the way to silicon production. You will join a human-sized team in which your ideas will truly make an impact, while taking on a strategic and evolving role within our ambitious R&D roadmap.

Embedded Systems

Bridging the gap between silicon and software, the Embedded Systems team designs the low-level tools that make NanoXplore’s FPGAs truly usable and powerful. 


Their core mission : developing the main SDK (Software Development Kit), firmware, and all embedded components that enable seamless configuration, control, and integration of our devices. From bootloaders and drivers to board support packages and diagnostic tools, they ensure our chips speak the right language whether on a satellite, in a defense system, or in a test environment. Their work is foundational : without it, nothing runs. 


What sets them apart is their ability to think system-wide. They work closely with hardware teams and application engineers, adapt to evolving specs, and support real-world use cases with reliability and reactivity. 

They’re not just writing code : they’re building the ecosystem around our FPGAs.


Driven by curiosity and precision, it’s a team where autonomy meets collaboration, and where each line of code contributes to something bigger : making advanced microelectronics accessible and operational for the most demanding applications.
