Senior DFT Engineer (Einfochips)

Job Title

Senior DFT Engineer

Role Summary

Hands-on DFT engineer responsible for design-for-test implementation and verification for advanced-node (3nm/5nm) networking SoCs and related IP. Work includes scan insertion, ATPG, pattern simulation, MBIST and JTAG insertion, silicon bring-up support, and DFT flow automation.

Experience Level

Senior — 10+ years of professional DFT experience.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include:

• Implement DFT for SoC and IP targeting 3nm and 5nm processes.
• Perform RTL checks for scan-insertion compatibility using Synopsys Spyglass.
• Execute scan insertion using Mentor Tessent TestKompress.
• Generate ATPG patterns in compressed and uncompressed modes (Mentor Tessent, Cadence Modus, Synopsys Tetramax).
• Run pattern simulation with and without timing across process corners (using VCS).
• Debug mismatches and failures using Verdi and similar debug tools.
• Develop and maintain DFT automation and flows (DAeRT, Makefile and extended scripting targets).
• Insert and verify MBIST at block and top levels; support silicon debug and bring-up.
• Insert and verify IEEE 1149.1 JTAG.
• Support low-power DFT implementation considerations.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience:

• 10+ years of DFT engineering experience (scan insertion, ATPG, pattern simulation).
• Practical experience with MBIST insertion and verification and JTAG insertion/verification.
• Proficient scripting with Perl, Shell, and TCL to automate flows and enhance build targets.
• Experience with Mentor Tessent; familiarity with Cadence Modus and Synopsys Tetramax is expected.
• Experience on multi-million gate-count SoCs and IPs (networking, consumer; PLL, SerDes blocks).
• Proven silicon debug and bring-up experience.
• Strong communication skills.

Education Requirements

B.Tech or M.Tech in Microelectronics, Electronics or a closely related field.
