Introduction:
The DFT engineer plans and executes advanced Design-for-Test solutions in semiconductor chip development. This role focuses on building and implementing robust DFT flow for ATPG, MBIST, LBIST, analog test solutions
Your Job:
Define and deploy DFT architecture for chips with features such as Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG), Memory Built-In Self-Test (MBIST), Logic Built-In Self-Test (LBIST), and analog test solutions.
Develop and validate test patterns, prioritizing test time reduction and manufacturing efficiency.
Collaborate cross-functionally to integrate DFT features and requirements throughout the silicon development lifecycle.
Continuously analyze test performance data and apply lessons learned for iterative improvement.
Document DFT specifications, standards, and re-use strategies for knowledge sharing and future use.
Other Responsibilities:
Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs
Required Qualifications:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
8-12 years of hands-on DFT experience plus proven leadership of DFT teams on SoCs.
Expertise in test pattern generation, ATPG, MBIST, LBIST, analog test development, and scan insertion.
Significant experience optimizing test time through efficient DFT strategies and tool use.
Proven ability to design and implement repeatable DFT flows and reusable test IP.
Proficiency with EDA tools (Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor Graphics), and scripting (Python, Perl, TCL).
Strong analytical, organizational, leadership, and communication skills.
