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 methodologi
