Job Title : Lead DFT Engineer

Experience : 7+ Years

Location : Bangalore

Employment Type : Full-time

Industry : Semiconductors / ASIC / SoC Design

Job Summary :

We are looking for a Lead DFT Engineer to drive DFT architecture, planning, and implementation across complex SoC / ASIC designs. As a technical leader, you will mentor junior engineers, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and ensure world-class testability and manufacturability of silicon products.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Define and drive DFT strategy and architecture for multiple ASIC / SoC projects.
  • Lead implementation and verification of DFT features like :
  • Scan insertion and compression (e.g., EDT)
  • ATPG pattern generation and fault grading
  • MBIST and Logic BIST insertion and validation
  • Boundary scan (IEEE 1149.1 / 1149.6), IJTAG (1687)
  • Manage end-to-end DFT flow — from RTL to gate-level netlist and silicon bring-up.
  • Collaborate with RTL, STA, PD, and test engineering teams for seamless integration.
  • Perform pattern generation, fault simulation, and debug test coverage gaps.
  • Own DFT signoff, timing closure (DFT-related paths), and ATE pattern delivery.
  • Support silicon bring-up, test vector validation on ATE, and yield optimization.
  • Mentor and guide junior DFT engineers; conduct design reviews and training sessions.
  • Develop and maintain DFT automation scripts and infrastructure.

Required Skills and Experience :

  • B.E. / B.Tech or M.E. / M.Tech in Electronics, Electrical, or VLSI Design.
  • 7+ years of experience in DFT for complex ASIC or SoC designs.
  • Expertise in scan insertion, compression, ATPG, MBIST, and boundary scan.
  • Hands-on experience with DFT tools such as :
  • Synopsys : DFT Compiler, TetraMAX, TestMAX
  • Siemens EDA : Tessent ScanPro, MBIST, IJTAG
  • Cadence / others : Modus, Encounter Test
  • Strong knowledge of RTL design, STA, and synthesis flows.
  • Proficient in scripting languages (Python, Perl, Tcl) for flow automation.
  • Deep understanding of silicon test challenges and test coverage improvement.
  • Strong leadership, team collaboration, and communication skills.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Experience with hierarchical DFT and low-power DFT methodologies (UPF).
  • Exposure to post-silicon validation and failure analysis.
  • Familiarity with safety-critical designs (ISO 26262) and functional safety.
  • Experience working in advanced nodes (e.g., 7nm, 5nm, FinFET).
  • Why Join Us?

  • Lead DFT for high-performance, next-gen SoCs and ASICs.
  • Collaborate with top-tier engineers and global semiconductor leaders.
  • Competitive salary, leadership exposure, and fast-track growth opportunities.
  • Interested can share CV to sharmila.b@acldigital.com
