Role Summary:

We are looking for a senior DFT professional to lead DFT strategy, execution, and team delivery for complex SoCs/IPs. This role requires solid hands-on DFT expertise along with team leadership, technical ownership, and cross-functional coordination.

Key Responsibilities:

- Lead end-to-end DFT architecture, implementation, and signoff for SoC/IP programs
- Define and own DFT strategy: Scan architectures, JTAG/iJTAG, BSCAN, ATPG, MBIST
- Review and approve DFT plans, test architectures, and coverage targets
- Drive ATPG, MBIST, and DFT simulation flows and signoff quality
- Lead silicon bring-up, debug, and yield improvement from a DFT perspective
- Manage and mentor a team of DFT engineers (task allocation, reviews, technical guidance)
- Conduct design and DFT reviews with stakeholders (Design, PD, Validation, Product)
- Drive schedule, risk management, and delivery commitments for DFT milestones
- Establish and improve DFT methodologies, best practices, and automation
- Interface with customers and management on DFT status, issues, and plans

Required Technical Skills:

- Strong hands-on experience in:
- JTAG/iJTAG, BSCAN




- Scan architectures (full scan, compression, hierarchical DFT)
- ATPG (stuck-at, transition, at-speed)
- MBIST and memory test strategies
- DFT simulation and debug (RTL and gate-level)
- Solid understanding of SoC test architecture, test coverage, and test quality metrics
- Experience with industry DFT tools (Synopsys/Cadence/Siemens or equivalent)

Leadership/Management Requirements:

- Proven experience as a Team Lead/Technical Lead/DFT Manager
- Experience in leading and mentoring engineers, technical reviews, and signoff ownership
- Planning and tracking deliverables across multiple projects
- Stakeholder management and cross-team coordination
- Ability to drive technical decisions and resolve complex DFT issues

Good to Have:

- Experience with low-power DFT, IJTAG networks, and advanced test compression
- Experience handling multiple SoCs or large, complex chips
- Customer-facing or program leadership experience

Education:

- B.Tech/M.Tech in Electronics, VLSI, or a related field
