Technical Director – DFT
Location: Bengaluru
Experience: 16–25 Years
Role Overview
We are looking for a Technical Director – DFT to lead the architecture and execution of DFT solutions for complex, high-performance SoCs. The role requires deep expertise across DFT architecture, ATPG, memory test, scan, test compression and DFT sign-off, with robust ownership of technical strategy and methodology.
Key Responsibilities
• Define and drive DFT architecture and methodology for complex SoCs across multiple IPs and hierarchical designs.
• Lead Scan, ATPG, MBIST, LBIST, JTAG, Boundary Scan, EDT, Test Compression and OCC implementation.
• Own DFT flow from architecture/specification through implementation, ATPG, verification and sign-off.
• Drive fault coverage, pattern quality, test time and test-power optimization.
• Resolve complex issues involving ATPG, scan chains, compression, clocking, timing and DFT rule violations.
• Define strategies for hierarchical DFT, block-level integration and SoC-level test architecture.




• Drive DFT implementation for advanced-node and high-complexity SoC designs.
• Partner closely with RTL, Design Verification, Physical Design, STA, Silicon Validation and Product Engineering teams.
• Develop scalable DFT methodologies, automation frameworks and reusable flows.
• Provide technical leadership for DFT sign-off, tape-out readiness and post-silicon debug.
• Evaluate and adopt emerging DFT technologies and methodologies for next-generation SoCs.
• Mentor senior engineers and establish robust technical standards across DFT teams.
• Lead technical reviews, architecture discussions and resolution of critical DFT escalations.

Required Expertise
• 16–25 years of hands-on experience in ASIC/SoC DFT.
• Deep expertise in DFT architecture, Scan, ATPG, MBIST and Test Compression.
• Strong knowledge of Synopsys TestMAX/TetraMAX, Mentor Tessent or equivalent DFT tools.
• Robust understanding of SoC architecture, clocking, timing, power and physical implemen
