Job Description

Job Description:
We are seeking a DFT (Design for Test) Architect & Implementation Engineer with expertise in designing and implementing DFT networks for SoC (System on Chip) devices with mixed ASIC and custom content . The ideal candidate will drive the DFT strategy , develop test methodologies , and work hands- on in integrating DFT features into the designs. This role requires deep knowledge of scan networks , scan insertion, boundary scan (JTAG), MBIST, ATPG, and fault coverage analysis .
Key Responsibilities:
DFT Architecture & Strategy:
  • Define and develop DFT methodologies for ASIC designs to ensure high testability and fault coverage.
  • Architect and implement scan, JTAG, and memory BIST (MBIST) .
  • Optimize DFT strategy to balance test coverage, performance, and area constraints .
Hands- On Implementation:
  • Develop and integrate DFT structures such as scan networks, scan chains, boundary scan, MBIST, LBIST, and built- in self- test (BIST) .
  • Generate and verify ATPG (Automatic Test Pattern Generation) patterns for fault coverage analysis.
  • Work with RTL design engineers to ensure DFT compliance in Verilog/VHDL- based designs.
  • Run fault simulation, stuck- at and transition fault testing , and analyze coverage reports.
Collaboration & Validation:
  • Work closely with RTL, synthesis, and physical design teams to ensure DFT design integrity .
  • Collaborate with manufacturing and validation teams to implement test strategies for prototype bring- up .
  • Debug and optimize DFT networks to achieve minimal test times .
  • Work with EDA vendors to evaluate and integrate latest DFT tools and methodologies .
Requirements/Qualifications:
  • 15+ years of experience in DFT architecture and implementation .
  • Strong expertise in FPGA- based DFT methodologies (Xilinx, Intel/Altera, Lattice, etc. ).
  • Proficiency in Verilog/VHDL for FPGA design and test logic implementation.
  • Hands- on experience with DFT tools (Synopsys DFT Compiler, Tessent, Mentor Tessent, Cadence Modus, or similar).
  • Strong knowledge of JTAG (IEEE 1149. 1, 1149. 6) , scan insertion, ATPG, MBIST, LBIST, and fault modeling.
  • Experience in timing analysis and synthesis- aware DFT implementation .
  • Familiarity with FPGA prototyping and board bring- up .
  • Hands- on scripting skills in Python, TCL, Perl, or Shell for DFT automation.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience in AI/ML- driven DFT automation .
  • Knowledge of high- speed interfaces and SERDES testing .
  • Experience with post- silicon validation and ATE (Automated Test Equipment) .
  • Strong debugging skills using logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and FPGA tools .
  • Why Join Us
  • Work on cutting- edge FPGA- based designs for high- performance computing, automotive, or AI applications .
  • Opportunity to architect and implement industry- leading DFT methodologies .
  • Be part of a highly skilled team pushing the boundaries of FPGA design & test innovations .
