Lead DFT Engineer
Experience: 6–12 Years
Location: Bengaluru
About the Role
We are looking for a highly skilled Lead DFT Engineer with strong hands-on expertise in Scan Insertion, MBIST, and ATPG to drive Design-for-Test implementation for complex SoCs across advanced technology nodes. You will own the DFT flow from architecture through silicon bring-up while collaborating closely with RTL, Physical Design, Verification, and Product Engineering teams.
What You'll Do
Drive end-to-end DFT implementation for complex SoCs and IPs.
Own Scan Architecture, Scan Insertion, Scan Compression, and scan chain verification.
Develop and integrate MBIST architecture for embedded memories and debug implementation issues.
Generate, analyze, and optimize ATPG patterns for stuck-at, transition, and other structural fault models.
Perform DFT verification using simulation and ensure coverage targets are achieved.
Debug DFT issues across RTL, gate-level, and post-layout stages.
Work closely with Physical Design teams to achieve DFT timing closure and successful implementation.
Support silicon bring-up,



production test, and yield improvement activities.
What We're Looking For
6–12 years of hands-on experience in DFT implementation.
Strong expertise in Scan Insertion, Scan Compression, MBIST, and ATPG.
Hands-on experience with Siemens Tessent (Scan, MBIST, ATPG) or equivalent industry-standard DFT tools.
Robust understanding of scan methodologies, fault models, JTAG/IEEE 1149.1, and DFT architectures.
Experience with RTL integration, gate-level simulations, and DFT verification.
Good understanding of synthesis and Physical Design constraints related to DFT implementation.
Proficiency in Tcl, Perl, Python, or Shell scripting.
Excellent debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with advanced technology nodes (3nm/5nm/7nm/12nm).
Exposure to IJTAG (IEEE 1687), LBIST, boundary scan, and hierarchical DFT methodologies.
Experience with full-chip DFT in
