Lead DFT Engineer

The role

The Lead DFT Engineer will architect the end-to-end DFT architecture for complex SoCs. You will develop testing strategies for data center chips to ensure manufacturability and reliability for edge deployment.

What you will do

• Define and implement end-to-end DFT architecture for complex SoCs
• Develop strategies for In-System Test (IST) and power-on self-test (POST)
• Oversee scan insertion, ATPG, and Memory /Logic BIST
• Collaborate with Design, Physical Design, and Yield teams
• Lead the bring-up and debug phase on ATE to root-cause silicon failures and optimize test time

Required qualifications

• 12+ years in DFT
• At least 2 years in a leadership or principal role
• Bachelor’s degree in a related field
• Mastery of industry-standard tools (e.g., Synopsys TestMAX, Siemens/Mentor Tessent, Cadence Modus)
• Deep expertise in MBIST with repair capabilities
• SCAN
• IJTAG (IEEE 1687)
• boundary scan (IEEE 1149.1/6)
• Proven track record with FinFET nodes (7nm, 5nm, or below)
• Experience managing DFT in multi-voltage/power-gated designs
