DFT (Design for Testability) Engineer
Role Summary: We are seeking a DFT Engineer to design and implement testability structures for complex ASIC/SoC designs, ensuring high test coverage, manufacturing yield, and silicon quality across advanced technology nodes.
Responsibilities:

Implement scan insertion, ATPG pattern generation, and fault coverage analysis for digital designs

Design and integrate Memory BIST (MBIST) and Logic BIST (LBIST) architectures

Develop and validate JTAG/boundary scan (IEEE 1149.1) implementations

Collaborate with RTL design teams to ensure DFT-friendly design practices are followed early in the design cycle

Analyze test coverage reports and work to close coverage gaps

Support silicon bring-up and debug using DFT structures for yield analysis

Work with EDA tools (Synopsys TestMAX/DFTMAX, Cadence Modus, Mentor Tessent) for ATPG and BIST implementation

Coordinate with foundry/test teams on ATE (Automated Test Equipment) pattern conversion and correlation
Required Skills: ASIC/SoC design flow, Scan/ATPG, MBIST/LBIST, JTAG, Synopsys/Cadence/Mentor DFT tools, Verilog/SystemVerilog, fault simulation
Experience: 5–8 years in DFT Engineer role with ATPG experience (Must).
