Role Overview

We are seeking a Senior Staff DFT Engineer to join a rapidly growing DFT design team focused on next-generation AI accelerator SoCs. In this role, you will define, architect, and implement current and future DFT/DFX solutions, supporting advanced SoC designs that leverage innovative memory-centric compute and heterogeneous chiplet architectures.

This is a highly hands-on role requiring both deep technical execution and high-level planning, working across design, verification, product, and test teams to ensure robust manufacturability and silicon bring-up.

Location:

Hybrid, working onsite at our Bengaluru, Karnataka, headquarters 3-5 days per week.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive DFT partitioning strategies for ATPG, including hierarchical and scalable approaches.

• Implement ATPG compression and serialization, and perform RTL scan insertion with associated design rule fixes.

• Own Memory BIST (MBIST) solutions, including memory repair and in-system test (IST), from implementation through verification and silicon debug.

• Support boundary scan and define DFT mode constraints for IPs, providing timing feedback to STA teams.

• Generate and integrate DFT RTL, ensuring quality through RTL-level checks (e.g., linting and DFT rule verification).

• Apply and support IEEE 1149.1, IEEE 1500, and IEEE 1687 standards.

• Execute and verify ATPG (SAF, TDF) and MBIST using unit-delay and min/max timing simulations.

• Perform detailed ATPG coverage analysis and drive coverage closure.

• Collaborate with product and test engineering teams to deliver manufacturing test patterns for ATE.

• Develop diagnostic tools and flows for ATPG, MBIST, and silicon bring-up on ATE.

• Work hands-on with industry-standard DFT tools, contributing from low-level implementation through architectural planning.

Minimum Qualifications

• BE/ME (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.

• 7+ years of experience in DFT, including scan test and MBIST.

• Proficiency with HDLs such as Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL.

• Experience with scripting or programming languages (e.g., Python, Perl, TCL, C).

• Strong ability to collaborate effectively in cross-functional and diverse teams.

• Experience producing clear, detailed technical documentation.
