DFT Engineer

Job Title : DFT Engineer

Experience Level : 4+ years

Location : Hyderabad / Banglaore

Job Description :

Key Responsibilities :

Develop and implement DFT architecture and methodologies for ASIC / SoC designs.

Insert and verify scan chains (scan insertion, ATPG, scan stitching).

Implement MBIST / Logic BIST using industry-standard tools and flows.

Work on boundary scan (IEEE 1149.1), JTAG implementation and validation.

Create and validate test patterns (ATPG) for stuck-at, transition faults, and path delay faults.

Work with RTL, synthesis, and physical design teams to ensure DFT compliance.

Perform fault simulations, coverage analysis, and debug test pattern issues.

Support silicon bring-up, ATE test development, and yield enhancement.

Deliver final test models and documentation for production testing.

Required Skills and Experience :

B.E / B.Tech or M.E / M.Tech in Electronics, Electrical, or VLSI Design.

4+ years of hands-on experience in DFT for complex ASIC or SoC projects.

Strong knowledge of scan insertion, ATPG, MBIST, and boundary scan techniques.

Experience with industry tools such as :

DFT Tools :

Synopsys DFT Compiler, Tetramax, TetraMAX II, Siemens Tessent

MBIST Tools :

Synopsys TestMAX / DFTMAX, Tessent MBIST

Simulation / Debug :

Verilog / VHDL, ModelSim, VCS, or Questa

Understanding of STA and timing constraints related to DFT insertion.

Familiarity with scripting languages like Python, Perl, or Tcl.

Solid understanding of digital design concepts and RTL design.

Preferred Qualifications :

Exposure to ATE (Automatic Test Equipment) patterns and test flow development.

Experience in hierarchical DFT, RTL-level DFT insertion, and low-power DFT design.

Knowledge of IEEE standards (1149.1, 1500, 1687).

Good communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.

Why Join Us?

Work on cutting-edge DFT for advanced semiconductor nodes.

Join a dynamic team in a fast-paced, innovation-driven environment.

Competitive compensation and opportunities for career growth.
