DFT Engineer

Job Title

DFT Engineer

Role Summary

As a DFT Engineer on AMD's Design-for-Test team in Hyderabad, you will implement and verify DFT features (SCAN, MBIST, LBIST, JTAG), develop ATPG flows, and support post-silicon bring-up and yield analysis. The role focuses on improving test coverage, reducing test cost, and enabling successful silicon validation across cross-site teams.

Experience Level

Senior — Bachelor's degree with 7+ years of relevant experience or Master's degree with 5+ years of relevant experience.

Responsibilities

Primary duties include DFT implementation, verification, and post-silicon support for digital designs.

• Implement and verify DFT features: SCAN, MBIST, LBIST, and JTAG.
• Support Spyglass-DFT DRC debug and correlate coverage results.
• Perform scan insertion and ATPG pattern generation.
• Verify ATPG patterns with gate-level simulation.
• Analyze test coverage and identify opportunities to reduce test cost.
• Provide post-silicon bring-up support and contribute to yield learning.

Requirements

Core skills and experience required for the role.

• Proven hands-on experience with ATPG and scan insertion.
• Strong debug skills and experience verifying ATPG patterns with gate-level simulation.
• Proficient scripting and automation skills (e.g., TCL); ability to debug automation flows.
• Experience with test coverage analysis and strategies to reduce test cost.

Nice-to-have

• Experience with scan-stitching and MBIST/BISR implementation (Tessent flow).
• Familiarity with Mentor Tessent ATPG and Spyglass-DFT tools.
• Knowledge of AWK/SED scripting and post-silicon bring-up experience.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree with 7+ years of relevant experience, or Master's degree with 5+ years, in Electronics Engineering / Electrical Engineering.
