Introduction:

The DFT and Post-Silicon Test Manager leads and develops the engineering team responsible for designing verifying and validating advanced Design-for-Test and post-silicon test solutions in semiconductor chip development. This role focuses on building robust DFT architecturesincluding ATPG MBIST LBIST analog and boundary scan testand extending them into efficient post-silicon validation bring-up and production test strategies. The position emphasizes seamless integration between pre-silicon design validation and post-silicon characterization to achieve rapid high-quality silicon ramp-up.

Your Job:

• Lead mentor and manage the DFT and post-silicon test engineering team overseeing technical direction execution and development.
• Define and deploy end-to-end test architecture from design insertion through silicon validation covering ATPG MBIST LBIST boundary scan (JTAG/IEEE 1149.x) analog test structures and built-in monitors.
• Develop and optimize scan compression and test pattern generation flows balancing coverage test time and yield learning.
• Own post-silicon test planning including validation vectors ATE correlation and silicon bring-up strategies.
• Interface closely with design verification product engineering and ATE teams to ensure smooth handoff from simulation to tester.
• Develop automated test programs and diagnostic scripts supporting wafer sort package test and system-level characterization.
• Analyze silicon test data for root-cause isolation yield improvement and continuous DFT methodology refinement.
• Build infrastructure for post-silicon debug and failure analysis including test coverage tracking and bin management.
• Evaluate and deploy next-generation DFT and post-silicon validation tools methodologies and standards.
• Document test specifications qualification methodologies and re-use frameworks for ongoing improvement.

Other Responsibilities:

• Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental Health Safety & Security requirements and programs

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering or a related field.
• 15 years of hands-on experience across DFT and post-silicon validation with proven leadership of SoC-level test teams.
• Expertise in ATPG MBIST LBIST scan compression boundary scan analog/mixed-signal test and fault modeling.
• Practical experience with post-silicon silicon debug ATE vector bring-up (e.g. Teradyne Advantest) and yield analysis.
• Ability to correlate pre-silicon and production test environments including diagnostic log analysis and tester pattern debug.
• Proficiency with major EDA tools (Synopsys Cadence Siemens/Mentor) and scripting (Python Perl TCL).
• Strong understanding of test coverage metrics fault simulation and data-driven test improvements.
• Excellent leadership planning and communication skills across cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Strategic thinker who understands full-lifecycle testfrom design insertion to production ramp.
• Innovative leader who drives collaboration between DFT characterization and product engineering.
• Passionate about test time reduction yield learning and robust field quality metrics.
• Continuous learner who proactively evaluates tools methods and automation opportunities.
