DFT Engineer

Job Title

DFT Engineer

Role Summary

Implement and verify design-for-test (DFT) architecture and test logic for ASIC/SoC projects. Work within the chip-design/test team to define DFT schemes, validate test patterns by simulation and static timing analysis, and support ATE bring-up and debug.

Experience Level

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

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include implementing DFT features and ensuring they function correctly through simulation and board-level test.

• Participate in chip-level DFT architecture definition.
• Implement DFT schemes such as scan, boundary scan, memory BIST, and logic BIST.
• Verify DFT logic and test patterns using simulation tools.
• Perform static timing analysis for test modes.
• Support ATE bring-up and debug of DFT patterns on testers.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience derived from the job description; nice-to-have items listed where appropriate.

• Must-have: Experience implementing scan, boundary scan, MemBIST and logic BIST and verifying test patterns by simulation.
• Must-have: Ability to perform static timing analysis for test modes and validate timing closure related to test logic.
• Must-have: Experience with ATE bring-up and debug of DFT patterns.
• Must-have: Familiarity with DFT verification flows and test pattern validation.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with ATPG/DFT tools and test automation flows.

Education Requirements

Not specified.
