Principal DFT Engineer
BroadcomJob Title
Principal DFT Engineer
Role Summary
Responsible for defining chip-level DFT architecture and implementing, verifying, and supporting DFT features across ASIC projects. Works with design, verification, and test engineering teams to ensure manufacturability and testability of chips.
Primary focus areas include DFT implementation (scan, boundary scan, memory and logic BIST), simulation-based pattern verification, static timing analysis for test modes, and ATE bring-up/debug.
Experience Level
Senior — senior-level technical role. See Education Requirements for required years of experience.
Responsibilities
Key responsibilities:
- Define and contribute to chip-level DFT architecture and strategy.
- Implement DFT structures including scan chains, 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 DFT patterns in lab/ATE environments.
- Collaborate with design, verification, and test teams to resolve DFT-related issues.
Requirements
Must-have:
- Hands-on experience implementing scan, boundary scan, memory BIST and logic BIST.
- Experience verifying DFT logic and validating test patterns with simulation.
- Practical knowledge of static timing analysis for test modes.
- Experience with ATE bring-up and debugging of DFT patterns.
- Strong collaboration skills across design, verification, and test teams.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Electronic, or Computer Engineering with 16+ years of relevant industry experience, or a Master's degree in the same fields with 14+ years of relevant industry experience.
