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 solid 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.
• Strong 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.
• Strong understanding of SoC DFT architecture, clock/reset handling, scan modes, compression, and test constraints.
• Experience with advanced-node ASIC/SoC de
