Role Overview

We are hiring a Staff DFT Engineer to lead DFT strategy, architecture, and
implementation for complex, high-performance SoCs. You will define
methodologies, and drive DFT from RTL to silicon bring-up, ensuring optimal
quality, cost, and time-to-market.

What You’ll Do

* Define DFT architecture and test strategy for SoCs, including scan,
compression, MBIST, LBIST, and IO test.
* Lead ATPG pattern generation, optimization, and diagnosis flows across
multiple fault models.
* Architect and oversee MBIST, BISR, and memory repair solutions for large
memory arrays.
* Design and implement advanced test access mechanisms using JTAG, Boundary
Scan (BSCAN), and IJTAG (IEEE 1687).
* Drive DFT timing closure, power-aware DFT, and hierarchical/multi-core test
strategies.
* Own pre-silicon DFT verification (ATPG simulation, GLS) and coverage closure.
* Lead silicon bring-up, ATE test program development, post-silicon validation,
debug, and yield improvement.
* Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate DFT into the overall
design flow and resolve complex issues.




* Mentor junior and mid-level engineers; contribute to methodology development
and tool evaluation.
* Optimize test time, data volume, and manufacturing test costs.

What We’re Looking For

* Bachelor’s/master’s degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering.
* 8+ years of strong hands-on experience in DFT for complex SoC/ASIC projects.
* Expert-level knowledge of ATPG, MBIST, LBIST, IJTAG, BSCAN, scan compression,
and related areas.
* Proven track record in silicon bring-up, ATE support, and post-silicon debug.
* Deep understanding of full ASIC flow (RTL to Silicon) and DFT impact on PPA.
* Proficiency with leading EDA tools (Synopsys TetraMAX/DFTMAX, Siemens/Tessent
SSN, TestKompress etc.).
* Strong scripting and automation skills.

Valuable To Have

* Knowledge of advanced topics like 2.5D/3D packaging test, analog/mixed-signal
DFT.
