DFT Engineer Architect Manager Senior Manager

Summary

Lead DFT architecture and implementation for AI ASIC/SoC designs, including scan, BIST, ATPG, and post-silicon debug, while mentoring engineers and improving test flows.

You will lead Design-for-Test architecture, methodology, implementation, verification, and sign-off for complex ASIC and SoC designs. You will drive test planning, pattern generation, coverage closure, memory and logic BIST strategies, silicon bring-up, yield analysis, and production test support. You will also improve DFT flows and automation, resolve implementation issues, and mentor engineers.

Responsibilities

  • Define and drive DFT architecture, strategy, and methodology for complex ASIC and SoC designs
  • Lead the planning and implementation of scan insertion, compression, ATPG, MBIST, LBIST, boundary scan, JTAG, IJTAG, test access mechanisms, and fault simulation
  • Own end-to-end DFT execution from architecture definition through production ramp
  • Develop test plans that optimize fault coverage, test cost, test quality, and manufacturability
  • Drive ATPG pattern generation, coverage analysis, fault grading, diagnosis, and pattern validation
  • Define and implement memory test strategies, repair analysis, redundancy handling, and memory test integration
  • Lead DFT verification, test-mode validation, and pattern verification
  • Resolve DFT-related timing, congestion, test-mode constraint, scan reordering, and implementation closure issues
  • Support post-silicon debug, yield analysis, failure diagnosis, production test correlation, and field failure analysis
  • Establish DFT quality metrics, sign-off criteria, coverage targets, and execution checkpoints
  • Improve DFT tools, flows, automation, and methodologies
  • Lead and mentor DFT engineers

Requirements

  • 15+ years of experience in DFT architecture, implementation, and sign-off for ASIC or SoC designs
  • Experience defining and leading DFT strategy for large-scale ASIC or SoC programs through silicon production
  • Expertise in scan design, scan compression, ATPG, MBIST, LBIST, JTAG, boundary scan, IJTAG, test access architecture, and fault simulation
  • Experience with ATPG pattern generation, coverage closure, pattern validation, diagnosis, and silicon correlation
  • Experience leading DFT teams and cross-functional execution
  • Experience with post-silicon debug, yield improvement, failure diagnosis, production test support, and field failure analysis
  • Understanding of DFT impacts on RTL, physical design, timing closure, low-power implementation, and sign-off
  • Experience with DFT and EDA tools
  • Knowledge of advanced fault models and timing-aware ATPG

Benefits

  • Performance-based incentives
  • Equity participation
  • Medical coverage
  • Dental coverage
  • Vision coverage
  • Paid time off
  • Flexible work arrangements
