Hello,

Role Summary: We are looking for a senior DFT qualified to lead DFT strategy, execution, and team delivery for complex SoCs/IPs. This role requires strong 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/management on DFT status, issues, and plans

Required Technical Skills:

· Strong hands-on experience in:

o JTAG / iJTAG, BSCAN





o Scan architectures (full scan, compression, hierarchical DFT)

o ATPG (stuck-at, transition, at-speed)

o MBIST and memory test strategies

o 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:

o Leading and mentoring engineers

o Technical reviews and signoff ownership

o Planning and tracking deliverables across multiple projects

o 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, 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 related field.
