AI Summary
Lead the DFT strategy, architecture definition, and implementation for complex ASIC/SOC designs across advanced technology nodes. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure high test coverage, quality, and successful silicon bring-up.
About the role
We are looking for an experienced DFT Architect to lead Design-for-Test strategy, architecture definition, and implementation for complex ASIC/SOC designs across advanced technology nodes. The ideal candidate will drive end-to-end DFT architecture including scan, MBIST, compression, boundary scan, and at-speed test methodologies while collaborating with cross-functional teams to achieve high test coverage, quality, and silicon bring-up success.
What you'll do
- Define and own SOC-level DFT architecture and test strategy for complex semiconductor designs.
- Lead implementation of scan insertion, ATPG, MBIST, LBIST, boundary scan, and test compression methodologies.
- Drive DFT planning and integration aligned with power, timing, area, and test coverage goals.
- Collaborate with RTL, Physical Design, Verification, and Product Engineering teams for seamless DFT integration and signoff.
- Analyze and resolve DFT-related timing, routing, and testability challenges.
- Support silicon bring-up, debug, diagnosis, yield analysis, and production test optimization.
- Develop and enhance DFT automation flows, methodologies, and reusable infrastructure.
- Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership across projects.
What We’re Looking For
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, VLSI, or related field.
- 10+ years of experience in ASIC/SOC DFT implementation and architecture.
- Strong expertise in scan, ATPG, MBIST, JTAG, compression, and low-power DFT methodologies.
- Hands-on experience with industry-standard DFT tools such as Siemens Tessent, Synopsys DFT Compiler/TestMAX, or equivalent.
- Strong understanding of RTL design, timing, physical design constraints, and silicon debug.
- Experience with advanced technology nodes and large SOC integration.
- Strong scripting and automation skills using Tcl, Python, Perl, or Shell.
- Excellent leadership, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Good to Have
- Experience with automotive safety standards such as ISO 26262.
- Exposure to chiplet-based architectures and 3D IC testing methodologies.
- Knowledge of diagnosis-driven yield improvement and silicon analytics.
Success in This Role Looks Like
- Delivery of robust DFT architectures with high test coverage and efficient manufacturing test cost.
- Successful silicon bring-up with minimal DFT-related issues.
- Improved DFT methodology scalability, automation, and execution efficiency.
- Strong technical leadership and contribution to organization-wide DFT best practices.
