Job
Description
Role Overview: As a DFT Architect at SEMIFIVE, you will be responsible for defining and owning the SoC-level DFT architecture, ensuring first-time-right silicon, and leading customer engagements by representing Semifive in technical discussions. Your role will also involve mentoring junior engineers, providing sign-off accountability for DFT across multiple SoC tapeouts, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver complex SoC programs for global customers. Key Responsibilities: - Define and own the SoC-level DFT architecture including Scan, MBIST, JTAG/TAP, BISR, Compression, Boundary Scan, and LBIST. - Perform DFT RTL integration, Spyglass DFT checks, Scan insertion, ATPG generation, and pattern simulation/debug. - Implement and verify Memory BIST (MBIST) and repair schemes, including fuse and redundancy support. - Drive DFT verification methodology to ensure first-time-right silicon. - Collaborate with physical design and timing closure teams to ensure DFT-friendly implementation. - Work with ATE and manufacturing engineering teams on test vector delivery, silicon bring-up, yield improvement, and post-silicon debug. - Lead customer engagements by representing Semifive in technical discussions, ensuring seamless integration of DFT methodologies in turnkey projects. - Mentor and guide junior engineers in DFT methodology, best practices, and project execution. - Provide sign-off accountability for DFT across multiple SoC tapeouts. Qualifications: - Bachelors in Electrical/Computer Engineering with 10+ years of experience or Masters with 8+ years in DFT design and verification. - Proven track record of executing at least 3 full-chip SoC DFT implementations from architecture through silicon bring-up. - Strong expertise in ATPG, Scan insertion, MBIST/BISR, JTAG, boundary scan, and compression techniques. - Familiarity with Spyglass DFT, Tessent, Synopsys DFTMAX, or equivalent toolchains. - Experience in working with manufacturing engineering, ATE teams, and post-silicon validation/debug. - Strong communication and leadership skills with the ability to interface with cross-functional and customer teams. Join SEMIFIVE: At SEMIFIVE, you will be part of a fast-growing global semiconductor solutions company that is reshaping how custom SoCs are designed and brought to market. Working in the Bangalore team will give you the opportunity to work on cutting-edge SoC programs with top-tier customers worldwide, influence methodology, drive innovation, and lead end-to-end execution. The collaborative startup-like culture backed by a global network of expertise offers you the agility of a startup and the scale of a global organization. Your work will directly impact silicon success, and your career will grow with the expansion of Semifive India.,
