Technical Manager – DFT (Design for Test)

Technical Manager DFT (Design for Test)

Location: Bengaluru

Experience: 1216 Years

About the Role

We are looking for a highly technical DFT Manager to lead the architecture, implementation, and signoff of Design-for-Test solutions for next-generation SoCs targeting AI/ML, Data Center, Networking, Automotive, and High-Performance Computing applications.

This role requires a hands-on leader who can drive DFT strategy, manage a high-performing engineering team, influence silicon architecture decisions, and deliver world-class test solutions across complex multi-billion transistor designs.

What You'll D

• oLead DFT architecture, implementation, and signoff for complex SoCs and IPs
• .Define and drive chip-level DFT strategy including Scan, ATPG, MBIST, LBIST, Boundary Scan, Compression, and Silicon Bring-up
• .Own test coverage, test quality, diagnosis strategy, and manufacturing test readiness
• .Drive DFT planning from architecture through tape-out and production ramp
• .Collaborate closely with RTL, Verification, Physical Design, Product Engineering, and Silicon Validation teams
• .Review and optimize DFT architecture for coverage, test time, power, area, and manufacturability
• .Lead root-cause analysis of silicon failures and drive yield improvement initiatives
• .Establish scalable DFT methodologies, automation frameworks, and signoff flows
• .Build, mentor, and lead a high-performing DFT engineering team
