Job Title:
Senior DFT Engineer

Experience Level:
5+ Years

Work Location:
Bangalore, India

Domain:
VLSI / Semiconductor / ASIC Design

Employment Type:
Full time

Position Overview:

We are seeking an experienced and self-driven
Senior DFT (Design for Testability) Engineer
with 5+ years of hands-on experience to lead and execute block-level and chip-level DFT architecture, implementation, pattern generation, and sign-off. The ideal candidate will possess deep expertise in scan insertion, ATPG, timing analysis, and industry-standard EDA tools, along with strong cross-functional coordination skills to drive high-quality silicon testability.

Key Roles & Responsibilities:

DFT Implementation & Architecture:
- Lead end-to-end DFT activities at both Block level and Chip level, including Scan insertion, compression setup, and boundary scan integration.
- Define and implement DFT modes, constraints, and timing sign-off protocols.

ATPG & Pattern Generation:
- Develop and deliver ATPG patterns across various fault models, including Stuck-at (Nominal and VBOX), IDDQ,



and Transition/At-Speed faults.
- Analyze fault coverage metrics and implement strategies to drive continuous coverage improvement.

Validation & Timing Sign-off:
- Perform pattern validation with and without timing (Gate-Level Simulations / GLS) to ensure zero failure rates prior to tape-out.
- Perform DFT mode timing analysis, setup/hold fixing, and formal verification/sign-off.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:
- Partner closely with RTL Integration, Synthesis, Static Timing Analysis (STA), and Physical Design teams to identify, debug, and resolve cross-functional dependencies and timing bottlenecks.

Post-Silicon & Advanced Architecture (Desirable):
- Support MBIST (Memory Built-In Self-Test) design and integration.
- Assist in post-silicon bring-up, silicon debug, and failure analysis for test-related issues.

Required Qualifications & Technical Skills:

Education & Experience
- Education:
Bachelor's or Ma
