DFT Engineer || Bay Area, CA_ Onsite

Urgent role

DFT  Engineer

Bay Area, CA Onsite

We are looking for a highly motivated DFX Engineer to develop, implement, verify, and validate advanced Design-for-Test (DFT/DFX) solutions for complex SoCs and ASICs. The candidate will work closely with Architecture, Design, Verification, Physical Design, and Post-Silicon teams to ensure robust manufacturability, testability, and silicon quality.

 

Key Responsibilities

Create and execute test plans for DFX features including Scan, MBIST, SSN, EDT, IJTAG, and JTAG.

Verify DFX implementations at IP, subsystem, and SoC levels.

Develop SystemVerilog/UVM based verification environments and test benches.

Debug regression failures and identify root causes related to design or verification.

Generate and validate Scan/ATPG patterns for production testing.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Design, Architecture, Physical Design, Validation, and ATE teams.

Automate DFX flows using scripting languages and improve overall test methodologies.

Contribute to DFX architecture planning and implementation for next-generation SoCs.

 

Required Technical Skills

DFX / DFT

Scan Insertion & Compression

ATPG Pattern Generation & Debug

MBIST / LBIST

JTAG, IEEE 1500, IEEE 1687 (IJTAG)

SSN (Streaming Scan Network)

 

EDA Tools

Siemens Tessent Suite (TestKompress, MBIST, SSN, IJTAG, EDT)
