Job DescriptionWe are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Design-for-Test (DFT) Engineer with 6-12 years of industry experience in architecting and implementing DFT solutions for complex SoCs and mixed-signal ICs. The ideal candidate should have a deep understanding of scan, at-speed test techniques, and compression methodologies, with hands-on experience in leading EDA tools such as Cadence Modus. Experience in handling DFT for analog and mixed-signal (AMS) blocks is a strong plus.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own and drive DFT architecture and implementation for analog mixed signal chips from concept to production.
- Develop scan insertion, scan compression, and at-speed test strategies to meet high fault coverage and test cost targets.
- Work with cross-functional teams including design, verification, and physical design to ensure DFT integration and tapeout readiness.
- Define and implement test strategies for analog and mixed-signal IPs, including DFT hooks, wrappers, and test mode integration.
- Create test patterns and perform ATPG analysis to ensure test coverage goals are met.
- Debug DFT-related issues during silicon bring-up and collaborate with product/test engineering teams.
- Automate and optimize DFT flows and scripting for scalability and efficiency.
Required Qualifications:
- B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or related discipline.
- Minimum 6 years of hands-on experience in DFT with successful tapeouts.
- Strong knowledge of scan insertion, scan compression, transition fault (at-speed) testing, and boundary scan (IEEE 1149.1/1500).
- Proficiency in industry-standard DFT tools, with Cadence Modus experience highly desired.
- Experience with ATPG tools, test coverage analysis, and test pattern generation.
- Solid understanding of DFT for AMS blocks, including challenges in testability of analog circuits.
- Familiarity with scripting languages (TCL, Perl, Python) for automation.
- Good understanding of STA constraints for DFT and impact on synthesis and physical design.
- Proven experience in silicon debug and production test support.
