Role Summary:

We are seeking an experiencedDesign-for-Test (DFT) Engineerat theSenior Member of Technical Staff (SMTS)level with over 10 years of industry experience. The candidate will be responsible for architecting implementing and validating advanced DFT solutions across complex SoCs. The role requires strong expertise inMBIST SCAN Insertion ATPG and simulation (RTL & GLS) and close collaboration withPnR teamsto ensure testability and design closure.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and implement DFT architecture includingScan MBIST and Test Access Mechanisms.
• LeadScan Insertion ATPG Pattern Generation
• Develop and integrateMBIST solutionsfor embedded memories (SRAM/MRAM/ROM).
• PerformRTL-level DFT verificationand debug.
• Execute and debugGate-Level Simulations (GLS)with SDF back-annotation.
• Validate Scan Patterns MBIST controllers and test protocols across multiple modes (functional/scan/mbist test).
• Redundancy analysis (RA) flows
• Fuse/OTP programming for repair implementation
• Integration of repair signatures into test and bring-up flows
• Drive ATPG pattern generation validation and coverage improvement.
• Analyze failure logs and debug issues during simulation and silicon bring-up.
• Collaborate closely withPhysical Design (PnR) teamsfor:
  • Scan chain stitching and reordering.
  • Write SDC for timing closure for test paths.

• Understand physical impacts of DFT (congestion timing power).
• Support silicon bring-up ATE debugging and manufacturing test strategies.
