Hiring Location: Bangalore Experience: 8-12 Years We are seeking a

Staff DFT Engineer

who can

own and drive the complete DFT strategy for complex SoCs

from architecture through production silicon. This role requires deep hands-on expertise, robust technical judgment, and the ability to

lead and mentor junior engineers

while collaborating cross-functionally with design, PD, validation, and manufacturing teams.

The ideal candidate operates independently, makes architecture-level decisions, and is accountable for

test quality, coverage, and silicon readiness .

Responsibilities:

DFT Architecture & Planning

Own DFT architecture definition at chip and subsystem level Define scan, compression, LBIST, MBIST, boundary scan, and test access strategies Drive testability requirements early in the RTL design phase Balance coverage, test time, power, area, and schedule tradeoffs

DFT Implementation (End-to-End Ownership)

Lead and execute: Scan insertion, stitching, and DRC closure ATPG (stuck-at, transition, path delay)



Test compression and pattern optimization Own DFT signoff including coverage, IR drop, power, and timing impacts Debug and resolve DFT issues across RTL, synthesis, P&R;, and gate-level stages

ATPG & Test Quality

Generate, analyze, and optimize ATPG patterns Achieve high fault coverage with minimal pattern count Review and sign off on: Fault coverage reports Pattern volume and test time Diagnose coverage holes and drive design or methodology fixes

Silicon Bring-Up & Production Support

Support first silicon bring-up, failure analysis, and yield ramp Debug scan, BIST, and tester-related failures Collaborate with ATE and manufacturing teams to improve yield and test robustness Drive ECOs for DFT-related silicon issues

Technical Leadership & Mentorship

Act as DFT technical lead for one or more chips Guide and review work of junior and senior DFT engineers Define best practices, checklists, and reusable DFT methodologies Provide technical direction and
