Senior DFT designer

What You'll Do

• Lead and execute the full DFT design flow, including specification definition, architectural design, RTL coding (Verilog/SystemVerilog), synthesis, static timing analysis (STA), verification.
• Develop and integrate scan insertion, test compression, and ATPG patterns.
• Implement memory BIST strategies.
• Collaborate closely with digital, analog, mixed-signal, product, test and software teams.
• Collaborate with RTL and physical design teams for DFT insertion and timing closure.
• Develop and implement innovative DFT architectures and design methodologies to meet challenging performance, power, area and quality targets.
• Optimize test coverage, pattern count and test time.
• Perform comprehensive DFT verification at RTL and gate level.
• Work with ATE teams for test program development and silicon bring-up.
• Participate in post-silicon validation and debug activities, identifying and resolving issues to ensure product quality.
• Mentor junior engineers, provide technical guidance, and contribute to continuous improvement of DFT design processes and methodologies.
• Generate detailed design documentation, including specifications, test plans, and design reviews.
• Stay abreast of industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in digital IC design.
• Requirements Bachelor or master degree in microelectronics, electronic engineering or related Strong expertise in DFT methodologies: Scan, MBIST, LBIST, JTAG.
• Hands-on experience with industry standard ATPG tools.
• Proficiency in UPF/CPF-based low-power DFT.
