01 / Context
A fabrication deadline makes the work real.
I joined Faraday Technology Vietnam in January 2024 and worked on ASIC shuttle projects through May. The work included a UMC 22nm project and close coordination across engineering teams.
02 / Problem
Testability and timing meet at sign-off.
Design-for-test and static timing analysis are connected delivery responsibilities. Test structures, simulation results, tester patterns and timing checks have to describe a design the team can release with confidence.
03 / What I did
Follow the requirement through the flow.
My responsibilities included DFT insertion, scan and memory-test integration, simulation, pattern delivery for automated test equipment, and timing sign-off. I also maintained Tcl, Perl and C-shell automation and used PrimeTime to investigate timing violations with the physical-design team.
The useful habit was following a requirement through the flow, rather than treating each tool's output as the end of the task.
04 / What mattered
A handoff the next team could trust.
Helped bring one shuttle project to tape-out in 1.5 months.
I helped bring one shuttle project to tape-out within 1.5 months. My director's testimonial records a top-10% performance evaluation and describes my attention to execution detail and communication across teams.
05 / Reflection
Execution is also communication.
A deadline turns coordination into a concrete responsibility. The best handoff leaves the next person with something they can act on.
06 / Selected evidence
The record behind
the work.
The 1.5-month figure describes a shuttle project’s tape-out timeline, not total employment. Internal customer layouts and test patterns are not displayed.
