Mixed-Signal IP DFT Engineer

Job Description

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Mixed-signal IP DFT Engineer to join our design team. In this role, you will be responsible for developing and implementing Design for Test (DFT) strategies for mixed-signal IP blocks, ensuring high test coverage and manufacturability. You will work closely with analog, digital, and verification engineers to deliver robust and testable mixed-signal IP solutions.

• Develop and implement DFT architectures and methodologies for mixed-signal IP blocks, including scan insertion and test point insertion for digital portions, and test enablement for analog circuits.
• Collaborate with analog and digital design teams to ensure DFT requirements are incorporated during IP development.
• Perform DFT verification, including ATPG (Automatic Test Pattern Generation), fault simulation, and coverage analysis for digital logic.
• Work with Integration DFT teams to integrate IP-level DFT features into larger systems.
• Document DFT design, verification, and test procedures for mixed-signal IPs.
• Stay current with industry trends and best practices in mixed-signal DFT and testability.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 2+ years of experience in DFT implementation for mixed-signal or digital IP blocks.
• Solid understanding of DFT concepts: scan, JTAG, test point insertion and scan diagnosis.
• Experience with DFT/Simulation tools (e.g., Synopsys DFT Compiler, Tetra Max/Tessent, VCS, Verdi).
• Familiarity with RTL design (Verilog/VHDL) and simulation; understanding of analog design and test concepts.
• Experience with ATPG, fault grading, and coverage analysis for digital logic.
• Good problem‑solving and communication skills.
• Experience with silicon debug and production test is a plus.
• Preferred
  
  Skills:
  
  
• Experience with scripting languages (Perl, Python, Tcl).
• Knowledge of sub-system integration and hierarchical DFT.
• Familiarity with low‑power and mixed-signal design and test challenges.
• Experience working in a multi-site, cross‑functional team environment.
