Senior DFT Engineer, Architecture

Job Title

Senior DFT Engineer

Role Summary

Design and implement design-for-test (DFT) features for high-speed CPU cores and multi-chiplet System-in-Package (SiP) integration. Work with cross-functional teams and external partners to ensure testability, silicon bring-up, and manufacturability.

Experience Level

Senior-level. Minimum 10 years of relevant industry experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include implementing DFT features, verifying testability, automating flows, and supporting silicon debug.

• Develop chip-level DFT strategies for multi-chiplet SoCs and SiP integration.
• Insert and verify scan chains, memory BIST, JTAG, and other test structures.
• Run ATPG, analyze fault coverage, and produce signoff-quality reports.
• Collaborate with RTL, physical design, and verification teams to ensure testability throughout the design flow.
• Script and automate DFT flows using industry-standard EDA tools and toolchains.
• Support silicon bring-up and debug related to test features.
• Participate in formal verification and signoff of inserted DFT logic.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience:

• Extensive hands-on experience with DFT tools (Synopsys, Siemens/Siemens EDA, Cadence or equivalent).
• Strong scripting skills (TCL, Python) and experience automating EDA flows.
• Experience with DFT planning, silicon debug, and test feature implementation in SoCs.
• Knowledge of advanced silicon technologies and methodologies for test coverage optimization.
• Strong verbal and written communication in English and ability to work in cross-functional, distributed teams.
• Experience collaborating with external stakeholders and global teams.

Nice-to-have:

• Fluency in Japanese.
• Japanese work visa.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field; or equivalent practical experience.
