Job description

We are seeking a highly experienced Lead ASIC DFT Engineer to architect, implement, verify, and debug advanced DFT solutions for complex ASIC and SoC designs. This role requires deep technical ownership across DFT architecture, scan insertion, ATPG, MBIST/LBIST, JTAG, boundary scan, and post-silicon validation, along with the ability to lead cross-functional debug efforts and drive resolution of critical silicon issues.

Key Pointers

  1. DFT Architecture definition.
  2. Scan & compression(EDT) implementation
  3. LBIST implementation and verification
  4. Coverage improvements (Spyglass work)
  5. ATPG sims - timing & no timing.
  6. Full chip / Sub system level DFT activities.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of hands-on experience in ASIC Design-for-Test (DFT), * Strong hands-on ASIC DFT experience with end-to-end ownership
  • Deep expertise in scan architecture, ATPG, MBIST, LBIST, JTAG, boundary scan, and silicon debug
  • Experience with Synopsys, Cadence, and Siemens/Mentor EDA tools
  • Strong background in scan insertion, scan chain stitching, ATPG setup, simulation, debug, and DRC analysis
  • MBIST implementation and verification; SMS experience preferred
  • Tessent/SSN experience preferred
  • Strong understanding of PLLs, RTL design, synthesis, LEC, and physical design flows
  • Post-silicon debug and silicon bring-up experience

  • TCL, PERL, or Python scripting experience is highly preferred
