Job Summary

We are seeking a highly accomplished Design for Testability (DFT) Engineer to join our elite team and lead the DFT efforts for our most critical ASIC and SoC projects. This senior-level position demands a mastery of DFT methodologies and the ability to drive the implementation of robust test strategies. You will play a pivotal role in ensuring the manufacturability and high-quality testing of our next-generation integrated circuits.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and define the overall DFT strategy for assigned projects, considering manufacturability, test coverage, and cost optimization
• Collaborate with design and verification teams throughout the design flow to seamlessly integrate DFT techniques
• Develop and implement advanced DFT methodologies (scan insertion, ATPG, Boundary Scan, Design for X) to achieve exceptional test coverage and fault detection rates
• Champion best practices for DFT and actively participate in design reviews, providing expert guidance on DFT feasibility and optimization
• Lead and mentor junior DFT engineers, fostering a culture of excellence and knowledge sharing within the team
• Analyze test results, identify potential design issues, and recommend corrective actions to ensure high test quality
• Stay at the forefront of the DFT landscape by actively researching and adopting emerging tools and methodologies
• Manage and maintain DFT libraries and internal DFT standards
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of the DFT flow within the team

Skill Requirements

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field (highly preferred)
• Minimum of 10+ years of experience in Design for Testability (DFT) for complex ASICs and SoCs
• 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

• Scan insertion – Must have
• ATPG – Good to have
• JTAG – Good to have
• MBist or Lbist – Good to have
• Tetramax or Tessent tools - Good to have
