Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities

We are seeking an experienced SoC Design-for-Test (DFT) Lead to drive DFT architecture, implementation, verification, and silicon bring-up activities for complex SoCs. The ideal candidate will possess strong expertise in scan compression, ATPG, JTAG/iJTAG, MBIST, and test integration methodologies, while leading cross-functional teams through the complete DFT lifecycle from architecture definition to production test support.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership

  • Lead DFT execution across multiple IPs and SoC programs.
  • Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance on DFT best practices.
  • Collaborate effectively with Design, Verification, Physical Design, Product Engineering, and Manufacturing teams.
  • Participate in design reviews, architecture discussions, and project planning activities.
  • Develop automation flows using Perl, Shell, TCL, or Python scripting.
  • Collaborate with EDA vendors and internal methodology teams to improve productivity and test quality.

DFT Architecture and Implementation

  • Define and implement comprehensive DFT strategies for complex SoC designs.
  • Architect and deploy Scan, ATPG, JTAG (IEEE 1149.x), IEEE 1500, IEEE 1687 (iJTAG), Scan Compression (EDT), MBIST, and advanced test infrastructures.
  • Drive scan insertion and DFT implementation using Synopsys Fusion Compiler or equivalent industry-standard EDA tools.
  • Develop and review DFT specifications, test architectures, and verification plans.
  • Develop and validate STA constraints for various DFT modes.

ATPG and Test Development

  • Generate high-quality ATPG patterns for stuck-at, transition, path delay, and bridge fault coverage.
  • Perform ATPG coverage analysis, DRC closure, and optimization to achieve production test goals.
  • Debug and resolve ATPG, scan chain, compression, and pattern-related issues.
  • Validate ATPG patterns using simulation/debug environments.

Test Integration and Debug

  • Investigate and root-cause silicon and tester failures, partnering closely with RTL, physical design, verification, and product engineering teams.
  • Analyze compressed ATPG, MBIST, JTAG/IEEE1500, and iJTAG related failures.
  • Support silicon bring-up, characterization, production ramp, and yield improvement activities.
  • Drive test escape analysis and corrective action implementation.

Soft Skills

  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical abilities.
  • Proven ability to lead technical teams and drive execution across geographically distributed teams.
  • Ability to influence architecture and methodology decisions across organizations.
