Staff Engineer, DFT Engineering

We are seeking a Staff Engineer to lead the DFT team responsible for delivering comprehensive DFT solutions for complex SoCs. The ideal candidate will have 7+ years of experience in DFT methodologies and industry-standard test techniques.

Requirements

• Lead the DFT team responsible for delivering comprehensive DFT solutions for complex SoCs.
• Take end-to-end ownership of the DFT lifecycle – from architecture definition to silicon bring-up and production ramp.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with architecture, design, and physical design teams to ensure optimal testability integration.
• Define and track DFT milestones, quality metrics, and progress, ensuring alignment with program schedules and quality standards.
• Represent DFT in program and customer meetings, communicating status, risks, and mitigation plans.
• Architect and guide the implementation of DFT features, including Scan chain insertion and optimization, Test compression techniques, LBIST/MBIST (including repair logic), Boundary scan structures
• Lead efforts in performing DFT rule checks (DFT DRC) at RTL and netlist levels to ensure compliance with internal and industry standards.
• Use industry-standard EDA tools (e.g., Cadence, Siemens/Tessent) for DFT Design, DRC, Pattern Generation and work with EDA/Internal CAD team for tool/flow improvements
• Drive DFT pattern generation and validation, including gate-level simulations with and without SDF.
• Partner with the verification team to define and execute DFT verification plans.
• Collaborate with physical design and STA teams to implement DFT constraints and strategies for synthesis and timing closure.
• Analyze silicon test data, debug test failures, and work with the test engineering team to resolve bring-up and production issues.
• Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and career development for DFT engineers on the team.
