DFT Engineer (ATPG & SSN – Streaming Scan Network)

Job Title

DFT Engineer (ATPG & SSN – Streaming Scan Network)

Role Summary

Hands-on DFT engineer responsible for implementing and validating scan/ATPG solutions and supporting post-silicon diagnosis at block and SoC levels. Works with synthesis, STA, physical design, and test teams to deliver testable designs and resolve manufacturing/test issues.

Experience Level

Senior — 10+ years of relevant DFT/ATPG experience.

Responsibilities

Primary duties focus on DFT implementation, verification, and silicon bring-up support.

• Implement DFT features including scan insertion, ATPG generation, simulations, and post-silicon diagnosis for blocks and SoCs.
• Verify test patterns using gate-level simulations and debug failing patterns.
• Collaborate with Synthesis, STA, and Physical Design teams to identify and resolve DFT-related issues.
• Partner with test engineers during silicon bring-up and support failure analysis.
• Use industry tools to generate and validate ATPG and scan solutions.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and relevant experience; preferred items are listed separately.

• Must-have: 10+ years of DFT experience with strong knowledge of scan and ATPG methodologies.
• Must-have: Hands-on experience with Synopsys TetraMAX, VCS, Verdi, and DC/Fusion Compiler.
• Must-have: Experience verifying test patterns via gate-level simulation and performing post-silicon diagnosis.
• Must-have: Ability to work cross-functionally with Synthesis, STA, Physical Design, and test teams.
• Preferred: Experience developing DFT architectures and specifications; familiarity with JTAG.
• Preferred: Debugging MBIST, coverage analysis, and silicon failure modes.
• Preferred: TCL scripting for automation and custom flows.
• Preferred: Experience with Streaming Scan Network (SSN) or similar scan-enhancement architectures.

Education Requirements
