Job Title: Lead DFT Engineer
Experience: 7+ Years
Location: Bangalore
Employment Type: Full time
Industry: Semiconductors / ASIC / SoC Design
Job Summary:
We are looking for a Lead DFT Engineer to drive DFT architecture, planning, and implementation across complex SoC/ASIC designs. As a technical leader, you will mentor junior engineers, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and ensure world-class testability and manufacturability of silicon products.
Key Responsibilities:
- Define and drive DFT strategy and architecture for multiple ASIC/SoC projects.
- Lead implementation and verification of DFT features like:
- Scan insertion and compression (e.g., EDT)
- ATPG pattern generation and fault grading
- MBIST and Logic BIST insertion and validation
- Boundary scan (IEEE 1149.1/1149.6), IJTAG (1687)
- Manage end-to-end DFT flow — from RTL to gate-level netlist and silicon bring-up.
- Collaborate with RTL, STA, PD, and test engineering teams for seamless integration.
- Perform pattern generation, fault simulation, and debug test coverage gaps.
- Own DFT signoff,



timing closure (DFT-related paths), and ATE pattern delivery.
- Support silicon bring-up, test vector validation on ATE, and yield optimization.
- Mentor and guide junior DFT engineers; conduct design reviews and training sessions.
- Develop and maintain DFT automation scripts and infrastructure.

Required Skills and Experience:
- B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Electronics, Electrical, or VLSI Design.
- 7+ years of experience in DFT for complex ASIC or SoC designs.
- Expertise in scan insertion, compression, ATPG, MBIST, and boundary scan.
- Hands-on experience with DFT tools such as:
- Synopsys: DFT Compiler, TetraMAX, TestMAX
- Siemens EDA: Tessent ScanPro, MBIST, IJTAG
- Cadence/others: Modus, Encounter Test
- Strong knowledge of RTL design, STA, and synthesis flows.
- Proficient in scripting languages (Python, Perl, Tcl) for flow automation.
- Deep understanding of silicon test challenges and test coverage
