We are seeking an experienced DFT Engineer to join a high‑performing ASIC/SoC engineering team.

In this role, you will be responsible for designing and implementing Design‑for‑Test (DFT) solutions that ensure high manufacturing quality, test coverage, and efficient production testing for complex semiconductor devices.

• Design and implement DFT architecture for ASIC and SoC designs.
• Develop and integrate Scan Compression, MBIST, LBIST, JTAG, and IJTAG solutions.
• Perform ATPG, fault simulation, and test coverage analysis.
• Support silicon bring‑up, debug, characterization, and production test activities.
• Collaborate closely with Design, Verification, Physical Design, and Product Engineering teams throughout the development lifecycle.

• 5+ years of hands‑on experience in Design for Test (DFT).
• Strong expertise in Scan, Scan Compression, MBIST, LBIST, ATPG, and JTAG technologies.
• Solid understanding of IEEE 1149.1, IEEE 1500, and IEEE 1687 (IJTAG) standards.
• Experience with one or more industry‑standard DFT tools:
  • Synopsys TestMAX / DFT Compiler
  • Siemens Tessent
  • Cadence Modus
• Proficiency in Verilog and/or System Verilog.
• Scripting experience using Python, Perl, Tcl, or Shell.

• Experience with ASIC/SoC development.
• Background in silicon bring‑up, debug, and production test.
• Strong problem‑solving skills and the ability to work effectively in cross‑functional engineering teams.

If you’re passionate about developing robust DFT solutions for advanced semiconductor products, we’d love to hear from you.
