  • Assist in implementing DFT structures such as scan chains, boundary scan (JTAG), and Built‑In Self‑Test (BIST)
  • Support scan insertion and verification using industry‑standard EDA tools
  • Generate scripts that support automation of DFT flows
  • Collaborate with design, verification, and physical design teams to ensure testability requirements are met
  • Help analyze test coverage metrics (e.g., stuck‑at, transition, path delay faults)
  • Identify and assist in debugging DFT‑related issues during simulation, synthesis, and post‑silicon testing
  • Contribute to documentation of DFT methodologies, guidelines, and test results
  • Learn and follow company design and test best practices

  • Basic understanding of digital logic design and computer architecture
  • Familiarity with DFT concepts, such as: scan chains, ATPG (Automatic Test Pattern Generation), and fault models
  • Exposure to HDL languages (Verilog or VHDL)
  • Fundamental knowledge of ASIC or SoC design flow
  • Strong attention to detail, analytical and problem‑solving skills
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment
Preferred Qualifications
  • Academic or internship experience in semiconductor design or testing
  • Basic scripting knowledge (Python, Tcl, or Shell)
  • Familiarity with EDA tools
  • Understanding of manufacturing test flows and yield analysis
  • Exposure to low‑power or high‑speed design considerations

Expected Base Pay Range (USD)

108,500 - 160,510, $ per annum

The successful candidate’s starting base pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location and market conditions. The expected base pay range for this role may be modified based on market conditions.
