Senior ASIC DFT Engineer (Silicon)

Job Title

Senior ASIC DFT Engineer (Silicon)

Role Summary

Implement and validate design-for-test (DFT) architectures for next-generation ASICs targeted for space and ground infrastructure deployments. Work with cross-disciplinary teams (RTL, backend, test, and silicon bring-up) to develop test patterns, verify testability, and support silicon validation.

Experience Level

Senior — requires 5+ years of DFT engineering experience.

Responsibilities

Core responsibilities include developing DFT solutions and delivering validated test patterns for silicon release.

• Design and implement DFT architectures and testability infrastructure for ASIC projects.
• Create, validate, and maintain test patterns used for production and qualification testing.
• Collaborate with RTL, physical design, validation, and test teams to integrate DFT and resolve issues.
• Support silicon bring-up, failure analysis, and test debug during lab and production phases.
• Document DFT designs, test plans, and handoff artifacts for manufacturing and field teams.
• Deliver work under schedule pressure while maintaining test quality and reliability requirements.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; concise list of essential and desirable qualifications.

• Must-have: 5+ years of hands-on DFT engineering experience.
• Must-have: Proven experience implementing DFT for ASICs and producing validated test patterns.
• Must-have: Proficiency in programming/scripting for test automation and pattern generation.
• Must-have: Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work under pressure with cross-functional teams.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with silicon bring-up, production test flows, or deployment in space/ground infrastructure.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.
