Senior Design for Test (DFT) Engineer

Job Title

Senior Design for Test (DFT) Engineer

Role Summary

Senior engineer responsible for defining and delivering DFT architecture, implementation, verification and silicon bring-up for ASIC/SoC products. Work across product lines to achieve high test coverage, low power and low test time, and mentor junior team members.

Experience Level

Senior — 6–8 years of directly related ASIC/SoC DFT experience as specified in the posting.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include DFT design, verification, automation and silicon support.

• Define DFT specifications, architecture and implementation using industry methodologies and tools.
• Deliver high-quality ATPG patterns with high coverage and low test time.
• Perform scan insertion, compression insertion, on-chip clock control insertion, ATPG and DFT verification.
• Support pre- and post-silicon verification, silicon bring-up and failure analysis/debug.
• Develop and maintain DFT flow automation and contribute to methodology improvements.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams and mentor junior engineers.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience.

• 6–8 years of direct ASIC/SoC DFT experience.
• Expert knowledge of DFT architecture, scan, test compression, at-speed test, MBIST and LBIST.
• Hands-on experience with Tessent DFT tools; familiarity with Cadence and Synopsys DFT tools is beneficial.
• Experience with scan insertion, compression insertion, on-chip clock control insertion, ATPG and DFT verification.
• Gate-level simulation with SDF and silicon failure analysis/debug experience.
• Scripting skills in Perl, Python or Tcl for flow automation.
• Strong written and verbal communication and teamwork skills.
• Willingness to travel up to 10%.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with IEEE 1149/JTAG, static timing analysis, synthesis and DFT insertion.
• Experience with Built-In Self-Test (BIST) and low-power scan techniques (UPF).

Education Requirements
