DFT (Design for Test) Engineer

Job Title

DFT (Design for Test) Engineer

Role Summary

Implement and validate design-for-test solutions for digital ASIC/SoC projects. Work with RTL designers and verification teams to develop ATPG, MBIST, scan insertion, IO and clock test strategies, and to diagnose and resolve test failures.

Experience Level

Mid-level. No specific years of experience listed.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Develop and apply DFT strategies and test architectures using Siemens Tessent and other EDA DFT tools.
• Create, analyze and debug ATPG patterns; improve fault coverage and test quality.
• Design and verify MBIST implementations and memory diagnostics.
• Perform scan insertion and validate boundary scan (JTAG/IJTAG) and high-speed scan testing.
• Validate IO test methodologies and perform pin-level interface testing.
• Verify clock DFT and clock-domain testability, and address clock-related test issues.
• Collaborate with RTL and verification teams to ensure testability and to troubleshoot failures.
• Produce test reports, metrics and documentation for manufacturing and validation teams.

Requirements

Must-have:

• Hands-on experience with Siemens Tessent (Mentor Graphics) DFT tool suite.
• Strong knowledge of DFT fundamentals: controllability, observability, scan insertion, scan-based testing.
• Proven ATPG experience: pattern generation, analysis, debugging, and fault coverage improvement.
• Experience with MBIST architecture, implementation and diagnostics.
• Familiarity with IO test methodologies and pin-level validation.
• Understanding of clock DFT and clock verification concepts.
• Solid digital design and RTL knowledge (Verilog/SystemVerilog).
• Experience verifying DFT features including Boundary Scan (JTAG), IJTAG, MBIST, and high-speed scan testing.
• Strong analytical, debugging and problem-solving skills.

Nice-to-have:

• Not specified.
