About the role

Staff Engineer – DFT Engineering

Location:- Bangalore

Experience:- 6+Years

Job Description:

We are seeking a skilled and experienced DFT Engineer to join our VLSI design team. The ideal candidate should have a strong background in Design for Testability (DFT) techniques, including LBIST (Logic Built-In Self-Test), ATPG (Automatic Test Pattern Generation), DFT DRC (Design Rule Checking), MBIST (Memory Built-in Sefl-Test), Boundary Scan, JTAG and Analog/Phy DFT.

Responsibilities:

Collaborate with the design team to ensure efficient and effective testability of complex integrated circuits.
Design and implement DFT features such as scan chains, compression, and built-in self-test structures to enhance testability.
Conduct DFT DRC checks in RTL/Netlist database to ensure compliance with DFT guidelines and rules.
Utilize Cadence/Siemen’s DFT tool to perform DFT analysis and optimize testability metrics.
Generating high quality manufacturing ATPG test patterns for stuck-at (SAF), transition fault (TDF) models using on-chip test compression techniques.
MBIST Design (including repair) and Verification using Siemen’s EDA tool.
Validation of DFT structures/patterns in RTL, Netlist with and without SDF.
Work closely with the verification team to define and implement DFT verification plans.
Work closely with physical design team for DFT implementation/constraints strategy for synthesis/STA.
Analyze and debug test failures and collaborate with the test engineering team to resolve issues.
Provide guidance and mentorship to junior DFT engineers.

Qualifications:

Bachelor's/Master's degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, or a related field.
6+ years of hands-on experience in DFT methodologies and techniques.
Strong knowledge of LBIST, ATPG, DFT DRC, Scan compression, Low power DFT Techniques, MBIST, Boundary Scan, Analog DFT, JTAG Architecture, DFT STA Constraint development.
Hand-on experience/expertise in Cadence/Siemen’s DFT EDA tools for Scan stitching, DRC, ATPG, Coverage improvement, MBIST, Boundary Scan.
Proficiency in scripting languages such as Perl, Tcl, and/or Python for automation.
Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals, RTL coding, Lint/CDC, Low Power Checks and ASIC design flow.
Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work effectively in a team-oriented environment.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
