Job Summary

We are looking for an experienced
DFT Engineer
with
5+ years of hands-on experience
in Design-for-Test (DFT) implementation and verification for complex ASIC/SoC designs. The ideal candidate should have solid expertise in scan insertion, ATPG, MBIST, JTAG/IJTAG, DFT verification, and test pattern generation/validation.

The candidate will be responsible for executing DFT activities from specification and architecture through implementation, verification, pattern generation, and sign-off.

Key Responsibilities
- Develop and implement DFT architecture for complex ASIC/SoC designs.
- Perform
scan insertion, scan compression, ATPG, and test pattern generation
.
- Work on
MBIST/LBIST
implementation and verification.
- Implement and debug
JTAG, IJTAG, boundary scan, and test access mechanisms
.
- Develop and validate DFT constraints and ensure DFT rule compliance.
- Perform DFT simulations and debug test-related issues.
- Validate ATPG patterns and analyze fault coverage.
- Work closely with RTL, Design Verification, Physical Design, STA,



and other teams to resolve DFT-related issues.
- Support DFT integration at block and full-chip levels.
- Analyze and improve
stuck-at, transition, and other fault coverage metrics
.
- Debug scan chain, compression, clock, reset, and test-mode issues.
- Support DFT timing and physical implementation requirements.
- Participate in DFT sign-off activities and provide required reports and documentation.
- Automate DFT flows and reporting using
TCL, Perl, Python, or Shell scripting
.
- Support post-silicon test/debug activities when required.

Required Skills
