Senior Staff Engineer – DFT

Location: Bengaluru

Experience: 10–15 Years

Role Overview

We are looking for a Senior Staff Engineer – DFT with deep hands-on expertise in DFT architecture, Scan Insertion, ATPG, and MBIST for complex ASIC/SoC designs. The role requires strong technical ownership across DFT implementation, coverage closure, pattern generation, and silicon signoff.

Key Responsibilities
Define and implement DFT architecture and methodologies for complex SoCs.
Own Scan insertion, scan compression, ATPG generation, and coverage closure.
Develop and integrate MBIST architectures for embedded memories.
Drive fault modeling, ATPG pattern generation, simulation, and pattern validation.
Analyze and improve stuck-at, transition, bridging, and other structural fault coverage.
Debug DFT/ATPG failures and drive coverage, pattern count, and test-time optimization.
Collaborate with RTL, Physical Design, STA, Verification, and Product/Test Engineering teams.
Drive DFT signoff, including DRC, coverage analysis, pattern validation, and production readiness.
Develop and optimize DFT flows, scripts,



and methodologies for improved automation and scalability.
Provide technical leadership and mentorship across DFT projects.

Core Technical Requirements
10–15 years of hands-on experience in DFT / DFT implementation.
Robust expertise in Scan Insertion, ATPG, MBIST, and Scan Compression.
Hands-on experience with industry-standard DFT tools such as Synopsys TestMAX/TetraMAX, DFTMAX, Mentor Tessent, or equivalent.
Strong understanding of ATPG algorithms, fault models, test coverage, test points, and pattern optimization.
Deep knowledge of MBIST architecture, memory test algorithms, controllers, and diagnosis.
Experience with DFT DRC, scan chain debugging, coverage closure, and ATPG simulation.
Robust understanding of SoC DFT architecture, clock/reset handling, scan modes, compression, and test constraints.
Experience with advanced-node ASIC/SoC designs and complex hierarchical DFT integration preferred.
Solid scripting skills in Tcl, Python, Perl, or Shell.
