  • Proven track record of successfully leading and implementing DFT strategies for high-volume production
  • In-depth knowledge of advanced DFT concepts (scan insertion, ATPG, Boundary Scan, Design for Reliability, Design for Power, etc.)
  • Expertise in industry-standard DFT tools (Synopsys DFT Compiler, TetraMAX, etc.) and scripting languages (Perl, TCL) for automation
  • Strong understanding of digital design principles (combinational logic, sequential logic) and manufacturing test processes
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with a focus on achieving optimal test quality and cost-effectiveness
  • Effective leadership, communication, collaboration, and teamwork skills

Other Requirements

Skills :
  • Scan insertion – Must have
  • ATPG – Good to have
  • JTAG – Good to have
  • MBist or Lbist – Good to have
