Silicon Engineering / 10+ Years

Design for Test (DFT)

Role: Design for Test (DFT)
Experience: 10+ Years
Locations: Bangalore / Hyderabad / Ahmedabad

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:
    • Siemens Tessent
    • Synopsys TestMAX / TetraMAX
    • 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.
