You know the difference between a chip that passes test and one that shouldn't have. At Texas Instruments, our DFT team is the last line of defense — and the first line of quality. We're looking for a DFT Lead who doesn't just implement test strategies — they define them, own them, and raise the bar on them.

? About the Role

Texas Instruments is seeking a DFT Lead to join our semiconductor design organization — one of the most technically rigorous and impactful teams in the global chip industry.

As the DFT Lead, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping how TI designs for testability across the full product development lifecycle. From defining DFT specifications and driving ATPG strategies to leading silicon bring-up and post-silicon debug, your fingerprint will be on every product that ships.
You'll lead and mentor a team of DFT engineers, collaborate cross-functionally with Design, Verification, and Manufacturing teams, and continuously evolve TI's DFT methodologies, tools, and processes. This is a role that demands both deep technical expertise and genuine leadership instinct.





If you're the kind of engineer who sees a complex design and immediately thinks about scan architecture, fault coverage, and yield impact — this role was built for you.

?️ Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute DFT methodologies, strategies, and guidelines to maximize test coverage, minimize test cost, and optimize production yield
• Define and review DFT specifications — including scan insertion, test compression, boundary scan, memory BIST, and ATPG patterns — ensuring compliance with IEEE and industry standards
• Evaluate and select appropriate DFT methodologies based on design complexity, coverage requirements, and time-to-market constraints
• Work closely with the design team to influence design decisions early, ensuring DFT requirements are met without compromising performance, power, or area
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams — Design, Verification, and Manufacturing — t
