DE/DFT Engineer
QualityAIJob Title
DE/DFT Engineer
Role Summary
Work on design-for-test (DFT) strategy and implementation for ASIC/SoC projects. The role focuses on scan insertion, ATPG, scan verification, and silicon test debug, coordinating with design, verification, physical design, and ATE engineering teams.
Experience Level
Mid-level. Multiple project experience in DFT and at least ~4 years working with ATPG methods is expected.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include driving DFT strategy, executing ATPG and scan verification flows, and supporting silicon test/debug activities.
- Develop hierarchical DFT strategy, including scan and ATPG planning.
- Perform ATPG and scan coverage analysis; debug coverage gaps and drive design fixes.
- Execute scan verification at RTL and gate levels.
- Prepare scan content and deliverables for silicon engineering and test execution.
- Debug scan patterns on testers and support pattern validation on ATE.
- Collaborate with Design, Verification, Physical Design, and ATE engineers to satisfy DFT and scan requirements.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience follow; preferred items are listed separately.
- Proven experience with multiple DFT scan design and verification projects.
- Experience with DFT techniques, ASIC DFT synthesis, simulation, and verification flows.
- Practical experience performing ATPG methods and scan coverage debugging (≥4 years indicated in posting).
- Ability to perform RTL and gate-level scan verification and to prepare test deliverables for silicon.
- Experience debugging scan patterns on test equipment and working with tester/ATE teams.
Nice-to-have:
- Familiarity with EDA tools such as Mentor/Siemens Tessent.
- Experience integrating IP (memories, test controllers, TAP, MBIST) and fault modeling.
- Experience with SoC silicon bring-up, silicon debug, and validation on automatic test equipment.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. A Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering is listed as preferred.
