DFT Staff Engineer

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end DFT implementation including scan chain insertion, stitching, ATPG pattern generation, and fault simulation
• Develop and validate timing constraints for mission mode and DFT test modes to ensure coverage without compromising performance
• Collaborate with RTL design and physical implementation teams to integrate DFT structures early in the design cycle
• Support customer engagements during IP integration and silicon bring-up, troubleshooting test failures and refining coverage strategies
• Automate repetitive DFT workflows using Perl, TCL, or Python to improve turnaround time and reduce manual error
• Debug complex scan and ATPG issues across large multi-million gate designs using simulation and synthesis tools
• Mentor junior engineers on DFT fundamentals, tool usage, and best practices in testability design

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
• 5+ years of hands-on DFT experience in scan insertion, ATPG, JTAG, MBIST, and fault simulation
• Proficiency with Synopsys DFT tools such as Design Compiler, DFTMAX, TetraMAX, and VCS
• Strong scripting skills in Perl, TCL, or Python for automating DFT flows and post-processing results
• Experience debugging timing violations, coverage gaps, and simulation mismatches in complex multi-clock domain designs

Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to customer-facing roles or IP integration projects

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical and healthcare plans
• Paid time away including ETO and FTO programs
• Family support including maternity/paternity leave and adoption assistance
• Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) with a 15% discount
• Competitive salaries and regional retirement plans
