Job Description:

We are seeking motivated Design for Test (DFT) professionals to join our growing team. Whether

you are a hands-on technical lead or an industry veteran with architectural expertise, we offer roles

that will challenge and grow your skills in advanced silicon testing.

You will be responsible for the end-to-end DFT flow, from RTL to final pattern delivery, across

complex IP, subsystem, and SOC designs.

Core Responsibilities:

End-to-end ownership of the DFT implementation flow from RTL to final pattern sign-off.

Scan architecture definition and implementation at RTL and gate level, including EDT and

OCC.

Execution of block-level ATPG, DRC analysis, and coverage optimization.

Handling of pattern simulations, including both timing and non-timing simulations.

SOC-level integration, including pattern retargeting to subsystem and full-chip levels.

Integration, simulation, and debug of MBIST, IJTAG, and Boundary Scan (JTAG).

Independent debugging of DFT simulations and netlist-related issues.

Close collaboration with design, verification, and physical design teams to ensure DFT

readiness.

Ownership of DFT sign-off activities and deliverables.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop and implement robust DFT architectures for IP, subsystem, and SOC designs.

Perform scan insertion, ATPG generation, and pattern validation at block and top levels.

Analyze and resolve coverage, DRC, and simulation failures to meet quality targets.

Define and execute DFT strategies aligned with project requirements and schedules.

Support pre-silicon and post-silicon test requirements.

Serve as the DFT point of contact for assigned projects, responsible for verification and test

readiness sign-off.

Technical Requirements:

Must-Have Skills:

Strong experience in netlist handling and ATPG simulations.

Proven expertise in block-level and SOC-level pattern retargeting and debug.

In-depth understanding of ICL and PDL standards.

Hands-on experience with at least one major DFT tool suite:

o Siemens Tessent

o Synopsys TestMAX / TetraMAX

o Cadence Modus

Preferred & Advanced Skills:

Experience with Streaming Scan Network (SSN).

Knowledge of Analog and Mixed-Signal DFT methodologies.

Proficiency with SpyGlass for DFT linting and early-stage analysis.

Exposure to RTL-level DFT insertion and validation.

Strong scripting skills (TCL, Python, Perl) for automation.
