Job Title : DFT Engineer

About the Role :

Are you passionate about solving complex hardware challenges and shaping the future of custom silicon? Join us as a DFT Engineer, where youll be at the heart of architecting and delivering world-class Design-for-Test solutions for cutting-edge ASIC designs.

This role gives you the freedom to innovate, build, automate, and influence silicon that goes into real, high-performance products. You will work across multiple projects, collaborate with top-tier engineers, and own DFT from concept all the way to production.

If you love hands-on engineering, deep technical problem-solving, and seeing your work directly impact silicon successthis is the role for you.

What Youll Do :

  • Own the design and implementation of advanced DFT architecture and methodologies for complex ASICs.
  • Build smart automationdevelop efficient flows, scripts, and tools that elevate productivity and test quality.
  • Drive DFT across the entire ASIC lifecycle, from RTL integration through tape-out and production readiness.
  • Work closely with world-class teams on SoC integration, silicon bring-up, failure analysis, and debug.
  • Implement industry-leading ATPG, SCAN, MBIST, and iJTAG solutions.
  • Apply DFT best practices and fault modeling techniques to maximize test coverage and product reliability.
  • Continuously improve DFT flows, methodologies, and internal standardsyour ideas will shape how we work.

What You Bring :

  • Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
  • 6+ years of hands-on experience in DFT developmentATPG, SCAN, MBIST, iJTAG.
  • Solid expertise with ASIC DFT design flows and ATPG/SCAN tools (Tessent experience is a strong plus).
  • Strong scripting skills (Python, Perl, Tcl, or similar) and a passion for building efficient automation.
  • Practical experience with JTAG/iJTAG protocols, SoC cycles, silicon bring-up, and debug.
  • Good understanding of fault modeling and test quality improvement techniques.
  • A proactive, ownership-driven mindset with the ability to learn fast and deliver in dynamic environments.

Why Youll Love Working With Us :

  • Be part of a team building next-generation custom silicon used in high-performance, real-world systems.
  • Work in an environment that encourages innovation, autonomy, and technical excellence.
  • Get exposure to end-to-end silicon development and grow your expertise rapidly.
  • Collaborate with exceptional engineers who are as passionate about silicon as you are.
  • Make a direct, measurable impact on product quality, reliability, and customer success.
