Lead DFT Engineer

Lead DFT Engineer

Location- Bengaluru

About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Lead Design-for-Test (DFT) Engineer to join our advanced silicon engineering team in Bengaluru. In this role, you will drive DFT architecture, implementation, and verification for complex SoCs, ensuring robust testability and highquality silicon. You will collaborate across design, verification, and physical design teams, while mentoring junior engineers and influencing nextgeneration methodologies.

Responsibilities

• Own endtoend DFT strategy and execution for largescale SoCs.
• Define and implement scan, MBIST, LBIST, boundary scan, and compression techniques.
• Collaborate with RTL, synthesis, and physical design teams to integrate DFT features seamlessly.
• Develop test plans, constraints, and scripts to ensure high coverage and manufacturability.
• Perform ATPG, fault coverage analysis, and debug of test patterns.
• Drive silicon bringup and test program development in partnership with validation teams.
• Evaluate and deploy advanced DFT tools and methodologies with EDA vendors.
• Mentor junior engineers and foster a culture of technical excellence.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 610 years of handson experience in DFT for complex ASIC/SoC designs.
• Strong expertise in scan insertion, ATPG, MBIST/LBIST, and compression techniques.
• Proficiency in industrystandard DFT tools (Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor).
• Solid understanding of STA, synthesis, and physical design flows.
• Experience with advanced technology nodes (7nm, 5nm, or below).
• Strong problemsolving, communication, and leadership skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience leading DFT implementation for multiple tapeouts.
• Familiarity with hierarchical DFT methodologies and multivoltage domains.
• Knowledge of highspeed interfaces and their test strategies.
• Exposure to test program development for ATE platforms.
• Proven track record of mentoring and building strong engineering teams.

Why Join Us

• Work on stateoftheart silicon powering nextgeneration products.
• Collaborate with worldclass engineers in a fastpaced, innovative environment.
• Opportunity to lead and influence critical design decisions.
• Competitive compensation, benefits, and career growth opportunities.
