About the Role

We are looking for a Lead DFT Engineer to drive Design-for-Test implementation for complex SoCs across advanced technology nodes. You will own DFT architecture, implementation, and sign-off with a strong focus on Scan Insertion, MBIST, and ATPG, enabling high-quality silicon with optimal test coverage.

What You'll Do

- Define and implement DFT architecture for complex SoCs and IPs.

- Drive Scan Insertion, scan compression, scan stitching, and scan verification.

- Develop and integrate MBIST solutions for embedded memories and memory repair flows.

- Generate and optimize ATPG patterns for stuck-at, transition, and advanced fault models.

- Perform DFT verification, coverage analysis, pattern validation, and debug.

- Collaborate with RTL, Physical Design, STA, and Test Engineering teams to achieve DFT closure.

- Drive DFT sign-off, improve test coverage, and optimize test time and silicon quality.





- Develop automation scripts to improve DFT productivity and flow efficiency.

What We're Looking For

- 1012 years of hands-on experience in Design for Test (DFT).

- Strong expertise in Scan Insertion, scan compression, and scan architecture.

- Deep experience with MBIST implementation, integration, and verification.

- Robust knowledge of ATPG generation, fault simulation, and coverage optimization.

- Hands-on experience with industry-standard DFT tools such as Siemens Tessent, Synopsys TestMAX/DFT Compiler, or equivalent.

- Understanding of JTAG/IEEE 1149.1, boundary scan, and IEEE 1500 standards.

- Experience with DFT validation, gate-level simulation, and scan debug.

- Proficiency in TCL, Python, or Perl scripting for flow automation.

- Excellent debugging, analytical, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
