Senior DFT Engineer

Role Overview

• Define and implement DFT architecture for mixed-signal SoCs, including scan, MBIST, LBIST, and boundary scan.
• Lead RTL-level DFT insertion, scan chain insertion and optimization, test point insertion, and low-power DFT methodologies.
• Own ATPG flow development and execution by generating high-quality stuck-at, transition, and path delay test patterns. Drive coverage closure and pattern optimization and debug pattern failure and silicon correlation.
• Develop and integrate DFT strategies for mixed-signal blocks, including wrapper-based approaches, and analog test interfaces and BIST solutions.
• Collaborate with RTL, DV, and PD teams to ensure clean DFT integration at RTL and gate-level, and timing and physical constraints alignment (scan reordering, compression, etc.).
• Drive DFT verification and signoff, including Scan/ATPG coverage metrics, DRC/Lint checks (DFT rule compliance), gate-level simulation and pattern validation.
• Support bring-up and silicon debug activities by analyzing tester failures, yield issues, and ATPG pattern correlation with silicon behavior.
• Contribute to methodology development, automation, and flow improvements.

Requirements

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 7+ years of experience in DFT for complex SoCs.
• Strong hands-on experience with RTL DFT insertion (scan, compression, test points), and ATPG tools and flows.
• Deep understanding of scan architectures, compression techniques, fault models (stuck-at, transition, bridging, path delay), coverage analysis and closure strategies.
• Experience with low-power DFT techniques.
• Familiarity with mixed-signal integration challenges and test methodologies.
• Strong debugging skills across RTL, gate-level, and silicon.

Benefits

• Base salary range for this role is $170,000 – $250,000 + equity in the company
• Salary will be based on several factors including, but not limited to: knowledge and skills, education, and experience level
• Comprehensive benefits package including paid time off, medical/dental/vision/ coverage, life insurance, paid parental leave, and many other perks
