Job Summary
We are looking for an experienced DFT Lead Engineer to lead and execute Design-for-Test (DFT) activities for advanced ASIC/SoC projects. The ideal candidate will own end-to-end DFT architecture drive high test coverage mentor junior engineers and collaborate closely with design physical implementation and EDA vendors to ensure robust and manufacturable silicon.
B.E./ or M.E./ in Electronics Electrical or related field.
Key Responsibilities
DFT Architecture & Implementation
- Lead and execute DFT activities for complex ASIC/SoC designs.
- Define and drive Scan ATPG architecture from specifications.
- Define and drive MBIST architecture from specifications.
- Optimize DFT implementation to meet coverage quality and schedule goals.
ATPG Simulation & Debug
- Perform ATPG simulations and achieve maximum fault and test coverage.
- Analyze ATPG scan and MBIST failures and guide teams to debug and resolve issues.
- Ensure compliance with foundry requirements and pattern generation guidelines.
Automation & Optimization
- Develop and automate DFT scripts to improve productivity reduce cycle time and enable predictable execution.
- Optimize design for PPA (Power Performance Area) while maintaining test quality.
ECO & Post-Layout
