DFT Design Engineer

Job Title

DFT Design Engineer

Role Summary

Lead and contribute to the design-for-test (DFT) and design-for-debug (DFD) capabilities for complex SoC/APU/GPU products within a centralized DFX engineering organization. Deliver DFT architecture, automation, CAD flows, and tools to support global ASIC design teams.

Experience Level

Mid-level. The posting does not specify years of experience.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include leading engineering work and delivering DFT infrastructure, automation, and verification for complex ASIC designs.

• Lead a team of DFT engineers: provide technical direction, mentorship, and performance feedback.
• Define and implement DFT architecture and features for SoC and IP subsystems.
• Develop and deploy automated design flows and CAD automation to integrate DFT features.
• Create and maintain scripts and utilities (Perl, Python, TCL, shell) for scalable automation.
• Set up and execute design checks using industry-standard and in-house tools; monitor regressions, debug failures, and analyze coverage.
• Develop in-house automation, utilities, intranet web portals, and AI/ML applications to support DFX teams.
• Collaborate with global design teams to standardize methodology and tools.
