QualificationsTexas Instruments is seeking an experienced and highly skilled DFT Lead Engineer to join our silicon design team. In this role, you will serve as a technical leader responsible for defining and driving DFT architecture, methodology, and execution for TI's next-generation semiconductor devices. You will play a pivotal role in mentoring junior engineers, influencing cross-functional design decisions, and ensuring silicon quality and testability at scale.
This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives at the intersection of design, test, and silicon engineering and is ready to take ownership of end-to-end DFT delivery on low cost MCU platforms.
Responsibilities
- Lead DFT architecture definition for complex SoC designs from concept to tape-out
- Drive DFT strategy including scan compression, MBIST, JTAG, and hierarchical test
- Represent DFT in cross-functional design reviews and technical forums
- Own scan insertion, ATPG, and MBIST implementation for low cost MCU.
- Define fault coverage targets and ensure test quality standards are met
- Lead resolution of complex ATPG, scan chain, and GLS violations
- Influence design architecture decisions to improve testability and reduce test cost
- Lead silicon bring-up including ATE correlation and debug
- Develop and maintain robust DFT automation flows using Tcl, Perl, and Python
Qualifications
- 5+ years of hands-on DFT engineering experience in the semiconductor industry
- Expert-level knowledge in scan insertion, ATPG, MBIST, fault simulation, and DFT sign-off
- Advanced proficiency with Cadence tools — Modus (DFT), Genus (Synthesis), and Xcelium (Simulation)
- Strong expertise in Verilog and/or VHDL
- Advanced scripting skills in Tcl, Perl, and/or Python for flow automation
- Familiarity with low-power DFT methodologies including multi-voltage and clock-gated designs
- Engineer your future. We empower our employees to truly own their career and development. Come collaborate with some of the smartest people in the world to shape the future of electronics.
- We're different by design. Diverse backgrounds and perspectives are what push innovation forward and what make TI stronger. We value each and every voice, and look forward to hearing yours. Meet the people of TI
