Staff DFT Engineer who can own and drive the complete DFT strategy for complex
SoCs from architecture through production silicon. This role requires deep
hands-on expertise, strong technical judgment, and the ability to lead and
mentor junior engineers while collaborating cross-functionally with design, PD,
validation, and manufacturing teams. The ideal candidate operates independently,
makes architecture-level decisions, and is accountable for test quality,
coverage, and silicon readiness. Responsibilities: DFT Architecture & Planning
Own DFT architecture definition at chip and subsystem level Define scan,
compression, LBIST, MBIST, boundary scan, and test access strategies Drive
testability requirements early in the RTL design phase Balance coverage, test
time, power, area, and schedule tradeoffs DFT Implementation (End-to-End
Ownership) Lead and execute: Scan insertion, stitching, and DRC closure ATPG
(stuck-at, transition, path delay) Test compression and pattern optimization Own
DFT signoff including coverage, IR drop, power, and timing impacts Debug and
resolve DFT issues across RTL, synthesis, P&R, and gate-level stages ATPG & Test
Quality Generate, analyze, and optimize ATPG patterns Achieve high fault
coverage with minimal pattern count Review and sign off on: Fault coverage
reports Pattern volume and test time Diagnose coverage holes and drive design or
methodology fixes Silicon Bring-Up & Production Support Support first silicon
bring-up, failure analysis, and yield ramp Debug scan, BIST, and tester-related
failures Collaborate with ATE and manufacturing teams to improve yield and test
robustness Drive ECOs for DFT-related silicon issues Technical Leadership &
Mentorship Act as DFT technical lead for one or more chips Guide and review work
of junior and senior DFT engineers Define best practices, checklists, and
reusable DFT methodologies Provide technical direction and design reviews
Cross-Functional Collaboration Work closely with: RTL designers Physical design
(PD) Functional verification Product engineering and manufacturing Communicate
DFT requirements and risks clearly to stakeholders Preferred/Nice-to-Have
Experience: Experience with high-volume production test, ATE bring-up, and test
cost optimization. Exposure to safety-critical applications (automotive,
industrial) and standards (e.g., ISO 26262) from a test/reliability standpoint.
Experience with on-chip debug, trace, and design-for-debug features. Scripting
skills in Python/Tcl/Perl for DFT automation, log analysis, and flow
integration. Prior experience mentoring or leading small DFT teams or task
forces. Qualifications and Experience: Proven experience in leading DFT teams
through end-to-end SoC execution, from architecture to silicon bring-up.
Demonstrated expertise in developing DFT architecture from scratch for complex
SoC designs. Strong team management and leadership experience with a track
record of mentoring and growing engineering talent. Bachelor's or Master’s
degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or a closely related field. 7+
years of hands-on experience in DFT methodologies and industry-standard test
techniques. Deep knowledge and hands-on experience with: Logic BIST (LBIST)
Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) DFT Rule Checks (DFT DRC) Scan chain

(MBIST) including repair mechanisms Boundary Scan (IEEE 1149.1) Analog DFT
strategies JTAG architecture and TAP integration DFT-specific STA constraints
Proficient in using industry-standard DFT EDA tools, including cadence, Siemens.
Strong scripting and automation skills using Perl, Tcl, and/or Python. Solid
understanding of digital design fundamentals, including RTL design, Lint/CDC,
low power checks, and the full ASIC design flow. Excellent problem-solving
skills, with the ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex DFT issues
efficiently. Strong communication and interpersonal skills, capable of working
effectively in cross-functional and team-oriented environments. For positions
