Staff/ Sr Staff Engineer- DFT

Design-for-Test (DFT) Engineer

Key Responsibilities:

• Own and drive DFT architecture and implementation for analog mixed signal chips from concept to production.
• Develop scan insertion, scan compression, and at-speed test strategies to meet high fault coverage and test cost targets.
• Work with cross-functional teams including design, verification, and physical design to ensure DFT integration and tapeout readiness.
• Define and implement test strategies for

  analog and mixed-signal IPs

  , including DFT hooks, wrappers, and test mode integration.
• Create test patterns and perform ATPG analysis to ensure test coverage goals are met.
• Debug DFT-related issues during silicon bring-up and collaborate with product/test engineering teams.
• Automate and optimize DFT flows and scripting for scalability and efficiency.

Required Qualifications:

• B. E. /B. Tech or M. E. /M. Tech in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or related discipline.
• Minimum

  6 years of hands-on experience

  in DFT with successful tapeouts.
• Strong knowledge of

  scan insertion

  ,

  scan compression

  ,

  transition fault (at-speed) testing

  , and

  boundary scan

  (IEEE 1149. 1/1500).
• Proficiency in industry-standard DFT tools, with

  Cadence Modus

  experience highly desired.
• Experience with

  ATPG tools

  , test coverage analysis, and test pattern generation.
• Solid understanding of

  DFT for AMS blocks

  , including challenges in testability of analog circuits.
• Familiarity with scripting languages (TCL, Perl, Python) for automation.
• Good understanding of STA constraints for DFT and impact on synthesis and physical design.
• Proven experience in silicon debug and production test support.
